(Eli) Show in Thomson at the Barn…

So, what do you really expect when you go to a Barn to
play a show. Well, we didn’t know what to expect, we knew
that the drummer for ATP (or Daniel to us) asked us to
come and play, and that it got changed from a Methodist
church to a barn. We got there, and had to carry our
stuff up the stairs into the loft.. it’s not like an old-
school barn, it’s really nice, so don’t think that it
wasn’t cool. So, we got unloaded, and I got to work on
Seth’s new guitar he bought that same day because he broke
his the night before. It is a PRS. Weird, huh. Anyway,
I put the Bartolini’s in it, and we got it crunk.. it
sounds really good, actually better than his other one.
So, he threw his old one off of the balcony onto some
rocks.. it was awesome. So, we finally got set up and
soundchecked, and the other bands got there and set up..
and the crowd got there.. it was a pretty good turnout,
especially for a barn.. So, the first band went on, and I
promise that I can’t remember their name, but they were
kinda punk-sounding… after them went ATP (according to
plan), and they rocked – kind of a variety of styles, emo,
pop-punk, hxc even.... they had some excellent melodies,
and the guitar players both rule. Much better than Seth
and myself. The crowd really got into them, dancing and
jumping about and such madness.. Tony played on my amp,
but it was giving him problems, I don’t know if he ended
up liking it all that much. But the bass player for ATP
wailed, He played this insane bass solo as an intro to a
song..… seriously.. it was so cool. Next was Blameless,
who were pretty much pop-punk. They were good as well, and
after them we played.. it was definitely an awesome show,
especially given the show from the night before.. The
crowd got really crazy somewhere around Little cloud Dog,
and didn’t let up the rest of the night, they got more and
more crazy.. it felt like the floor was going to cave in,
and it was awesome. Seth got to crowd-surt for the first
time, and he played his guitar while surfing.. super-rad.
Remember how I told you that Seth had a new guitar.. well,
he hit himself right in the groin region after a spin on
the last song… well, we thought it was the last song.. and
I reopened the wound on my thumb, and I’m sitting over
here arm and guitar covered in blood, Seth’s lying on the
floor in pain.. and the crowd starts chanting “one more
song’ – so of course, we played Return to Sender (the new
version) which was completely insane rock. It was
awesome… the crowd went really crazy, and Andrew crowd-
surfed at the end of everything… it was really a great
show, we can’t wait to go back to Thomson again. Crazy
kids in a barn.
