Mighty fine show.

As most of you know the boys played another show at Club Retro last Friday (the 17th). This is the show that they worked their tails off and set a goal of selling 100 pre-sale tickets. Well, I'm happy to report that they reached (surpassed!) their goal, and sold 109 presale tickets. Awesome and amazing, no doubt. To show up at Retro with $1,090 was quite cool for them. I'm sure Retro was impressed, too. Unfortunately, the boys did not double check the way this show would be handled, who was "putting it on", etc. They had originally been told they would be playing second, and that changed last minute as the headlining band decided to put a band they knew personally second, putting the boys in the opening spot. They had also hoped (and expected) to come home with $545 (1/2 of the presales), but because this was not an expansion show, that would not be the case. (I'm still not sure what an expansion show is.) They walked away with only $275, and they were very disappointed to say the least. But, on a brighter note, I must say these guys rock, and I don't just mean on stage. Even after being told they'd be playing first, and even though they weren't exactly thrilled, they kept their head held high and went out and did a great show. Oh, and I do have to back up a bit and say that when I arrived close to 7pm (they still had not opened the doors), there was a line (yes a long line) out into the parking lot. And now that I'm typing this, I wish I'd taken a photo. It was quite impressive. (Note to self: take picture of line next time. Haha.) All pictures courtesy of Daniel Dare. Good stuff.
