WHaaaa hooo....
I'd say you haven't lived until you've had to miss flights @ jfk, reticket
to la guardia, take the '20 minute' bus ride between airports (that takes
80 minutes @ rush hour) all with a huge bag containing a computer, effects,
and a mixer that weighs 80 lbs. I only made my flights because they were
delayed.
My gig at halcyon went OK as far as crowd reception goes -- too bad I
could barely hear it -- no monitors, and the house speakers were on
the ceiling facing away from me. But I shouldn't bitch, I've definitely
played much more ghetto shows. I am happy with the roadworthiness of
the computer setup and the software environment I'm using which allows me
to improvise a set from a huge catalog of sounds.
Record purchases: Bloatware by Chris Sattinger -- he's branched out from
really well done techno to digital nuttiness -- Cylob/Mike Flowers record
-- not had a chance to listen to it fully.
Canal Street purchase: a Dragonball Z alarm clock -- Goku with a clock
in his belly, with a singing alarm song that has to be heard to be believed.
Minor celeb sighting: Prodigy from Mobb Deep was doing an instore at
Fat Beats. Wish I'd had some Iowa City hip hop product to lay on him ;-)
Thanks be to all who came out to Halcyon. After playing I was kind of
too scattered to remember all the people I met, but I was definitely
touched that Gil Yaker made a 5 hr drive from Virginia for the event.
