Show Day, Melbourne
Wednesday, March 09, 2005
Up at 5am, get on bus for airport. Not too many happy faces this morning. Sleep on flight, arrive at the hotel about 11am. Catch another hour and a half of sleep, then off to the venue. Arrive at venue and eat lunch, pretty good. We're still way too early, as light are on the ground. Chill for a bit, then take the deck and set-up. Everything is behind today, band comes in later for soundcheck. Then it's time for doors. Eat dinner, watch some of Simple Plan's set (they love them here). And before you know it, it's SHOWTIME!! Show goes well, I've got the cues down. Singer pulls up another girl for bass, and our drummer pretends to cut the hair off the kid playing drums (I wouldn't give him my real scissors). More picks fly at the drummer. Aftershow, promoter swags the crew with jackets. These actually look pretty good. Cool. Back to hotel for much needed rest.
