High Springs Florida gig 4/29

[Brian Krashpad]

Well, we played the show at Great Outdoors last night. The house reportedly liked us and the performance was good. I did OK on mandolin; though my guitar wasn't up to our previous show (when I was inexplicably on fire) it was passable.

Had a couple free beers, and the split just from tips alone was $12. The house gave us $25/person. So, that's $37 in cash and another $5 or $6 worth of beer. Was there from about 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., played from ~6:30-9:30. Coulda got some free food as well, but wanted to skedaddle as kids were home alone all night, and eating at 10 p.m. is not necessarily a good idea.

Hopefully they'll have us back, a fun show. A friend of mine took pics, will post on receipt. Actually had a small batch of folks drive up from Gainesville, including a couple of my wife's work friends, which was nice.

Tonight I'm actually playing 2 shows with the same band. Early show at an art gallery for Artwalk, where all the downtown galleries stay open into the evening, then a show at 10 at a cafe only a few hundred feet away. Should be interesting, hopefully the weather will cooperate, since we'll be outdoors again.
