Hamilton, Ontario @ The Casbah, w/ FAT32. First gig of the Eastern-North American Tour! We were supposed to all fly to NY the previous Saturday and have several days of rehearsals before the tour started. Hurricane Irene thought differently. Our only option to make the first gig was to drive. Me, Trey, and Scott drove from the Bay Area starting Sunday at midnight, arriving Wednesday a few hours before the gig started. Timb, Randall, and Toby (who happened to be on the west coast at the time) drove from Seattle, picked up the van in Chicago, picked up the trailer in Connecticut, then picked up the FAT32 guys (John, Tony, and Rudy) who flew in from France after the storm, then spent 8 hours looking for the FAT2 equipment the airline lost, then drove to the gig to arrive just in time like us. Ches flew in from NYC that afternoon. So pretty much I met everybody in the band for the first time right before playing all this unrehearsed material live and on zero sleep. We nailed it. A very good sign of musical joy to come... FAT32 were a total blast - and I will enjoy watching all of their following opening shows.
