Saturday, January 08, 2005 KC MO Part I: Wait, we haven't even left the state! The night before we left I didn’t get any sleep. I had a slew of things to take care of before I could leave for a week, even over the holidays, and a few hours before we were supposed to quit town I got an email with colossal last minute changes to a graphic design project. And then world came crashing down: I’d forgotten that the venue had no sound equipment and thus hadn’t borrowed any from the usual sources. Call it a blonde moment (if Asians can have blonde moments). Or a blonde week. Stress. I frantically called around to those sources but couldn’t get in touch with people who had mics and PA systems; Tracy picked me up, and then Cat, and we were in Kroger grabbing some snacks for the road when Cat made a comment about dancers in KC (none of whom had I met at that point) maybe having sound equipment and a light bulb blinked on in my head. Maybe… I called Jamie and asked if I might be able to steal Swing Ann Arbor’s PA for a week. Half an hour later, I was sitting in Tracy’s car squished between a Fender Passport system, my keyboard, and the door. But still no mics (admittedly less of a headache than a PA to find). In a moment of inspiration I called my manager and asked if J2 might be willing to reimburse me for a mic since they were thinking about buying a small sound system soon anyway. Halleluiah! By the time the call was over, I had license to buy equipment with some else’s money. After all the craziness, I shocked my friends by falling asleep and sleeping most of the twelve-hour ride to Kansas City. And then the intensity began. ^ Top | 10:43 PM | | |
