Buffalo, NY @ WNED Guitar Festival
This was an outdoor festival in Buffalo. We got there quite early, hung around, drank beer and watched the bands. Our set was good. The crowd was receptive, but there’s always something strange about playing street/city festivals. It’s like 75% of the crowds (street/city festival crowds in general) never watch live music and most definitely never pay to see live bands, so they’re usually really happy to see live music, sometimes they're scared by it…..why not just go to shows more often?….they’re not that expensive usually. The other weird thing is they usually don’t know much or anything by the bands they’re watching….because it’s free, people will just check it out. It exposes band’s music to people who would never go see them and exposes people to music they would never usually be exposed to. I’m not complaining or championing street festival crowds, just talking. I don’t know why. You don’t really care. Do you? After our set we continued to drink heavily (I’m not bragging, or glorifying it, just telling you what happened….kids….do not drink, it’s bad for you and will eventually make you fat, lazy and stupid!). So there was Brad, Ryan, Dan/DeeJay (our manager) and I drinking a lot and nobody told us how many were ours, so to make a long story short, I think we pissed of other bands and drank their beer….sorry, the event lady just said here is beer, go nuts. After many more, there was dancing, pizza, hugging, me harassing a bouncer….a real angry, I'm a bouncer and this is how tough guys should act bouncer, he had the whole I hate everybody thing happening….super funny really. An Ice bar, a bar with chewed gum on it...Anyways, tonight was a spinning top. –Adam.
