Tour is allllmost over...
Yesterday we were in the "theater" all day here in Crescent City, CA. Actually, it was a high school auditorium! To fit the large okedo through the doors, we had to detach the middle pillar from two of them, but that wasn't a big deal.
The stage was small but workable, and the stage floor was beat-up but we could still see our spikes when we needed to. This show was all about the lighting. On one hand, we definitely pushed the envelope of what light focusing the crew was used to, without being overly-demanding. On the other, the lights were really close to the stage! In addition to that, the heating for the entire school is apparently regulated by the county, and it was hot to begin with! By the 4th song, we were starting to feel the sweat, and when we got into the more energetic songs, there was some serious fluid drain!
As for the venue, it was a 500-seat theater and we were told we had a larger crowd than anything they had last season, very cool!
This morning, we ended the tour with one school show for a group of 30 high schoolers, another for a group of about 150 high schoolers, then did a workshop for a Boy's Ranch in the midst of the California redwoods. They were very enthusiastic and a great end to our touring activities!
All that remains is an 8-hour drive back to San Jose tomorrow; normal blogging resumes Thursday!
