Good afternoon!
Just checked into the Mark Spencer hotel for the next two nights in Portland. Soundcheck is in a few, and I feel beached! That is what my buddy Max always says, like in the sense of "I am a beached whale!". I ate a giant pastrami sandwich on rye... mmm, soo good! Not to mention it was so rainy and crummy in Seattle and it is 70 degrees F down here in Portland!
We are playing two nights at the Crystal Ballroom, this is Portlands premier club and music venue. I love the place, it is awesome. The floor does this really weird thing where it wobbles and shifts, and it makes you really uncomfortable that the whole building is going to collapse, especially when a whole room of crazy party go-ers is jumping up and down dancing. They say it is constructed to be like that, but I do not know if I believe them or not!
Our load in is in fifteen minutes, then our sound check is at 8:00. We are playing with good friends of the Dudley Manlove Quartet, "Super Diamond" -- the worlds premier Neil Diamond tribute band. They are legit, sound exactly like the real deal (if not better!) and when we team up together, our two bands can sell out some huge venues! It is a blast! Who knew you could be such a rock star playing all these old number one hits!
Anyways gotta jet. Definitely need to hit up voodoo donuts in the morning! Mmmm, Bacon Maple Bars!
Cheers,
Mack
