Notes from the
show:
"Hooker's
Resort is located on the shores of the Wisconsin River just
a little bit outside of Poynette. Prior to our sound
check, I took a brief walk along the shore just to take in
the pretty scenery. Standing out on the dock and
taking in the sights was so refreshing...especially since it
now appears that Spring is upon us. All of us were a
bit excited about the fact that our "light show" continues
to evolve into a bigger and bigger spectacle almost every
time we play out. Tonight, the boys added a truss
system garnishing four brand new Par64 lights above Kyle's
head. We were pretty impressed over the fact that
these four lights can generate almost any color in somewhat
mesmerizing random patterns. While great as they are,
we can't help but remain overly excited about the new
Intelligent-lighting system which (hopefully) we will debut
at our next show, Border Riders. These lights
feature some of the coolest light patterns using beams of
light and a highly reflective mirror that moves the beams of
light around the scene in fascinating ways.
This show
attracted some old Sonic Rush faithful that we haven't seen
since before New Years Eve. Speaking for the new
guys in the band, we're very grateful to meet you all for the first
time and I'm honored to have the opportunity to play for
you. I had the privilege to meet an aspiring guitar
player, Tanner and he was kind enough to share a
photo with me. While it may seem special for you folks
to share a photo opportunity with us...believe me,
we enjoy it just as much as you. I was kind of
shocked when people started asking to take a picture with us
before we even started playing! I was very
pleased to share a hug with my old friends, Kari and her
daughter Stephanie. The only thing that sucks about
being in a band is that you don't always have the time to
devote towards sitting down and catching up. I hope we
can do that again sometime. BTW...(Steph) that offer
for me to take you on your first flying lesson still
stands!
The dance floor
was sparsely occupied throughout the night...a few songs
would bring 'em out...and then a few would cause 'em to
disperse until we played something that seemed more
suitable. We often bet on which songs will bring the
people out and which ones will cause you all to sit down.
It's kind of like a game between us band members...and funny
at the same time! :-)
A special
thanks to my fiancé, Shelli...for
taking all the great pictures! She really worked hard
for some of those shots. We always try to get as many
pictures of the crowd as we can. Unfortunately,
digital cameras are limited in the fact that they don't
capture motion very well. You people need to slow
down when we try to take your
picture...either that or we need to play crappier music
because this stuff seems to keep you all moving quite a bit!
J/K ! :-)....Hope to see you all at Border Riders!"

"Hey Greg:
It
was really fun and Stephanie had a great time at the
show seeing all of you guys again. I really enjoy
watching you guys perform. I'm not sure about Border
Riders, it depends on my boyfriend's schedule,.....but I
see you do have some dates in the area coming up. So I
will see you soon. Take care and I do look forward to
catching up at one of these shows. - Kari"
