Night out in Orlando
Hey! Today we have a day off in Texas (yay!) and I will update a little show info including merch prices and a set list during the next two days. I have a lot to catch up with for pictures and stuff so I will hopefully be able to work on it tonight and tomorrow.
Last nights show was interesting, whoever decided to have a show at 4:30 in the afternoon? There was a decent sized crowd but they were very non responsive during songs. Inbetween songs they expressed enjoyment but other than that it was an odd show for me to watch from the sidelines. I am Ghost had a friend come in and work their merch table for the night, Rosanna, and she was completely rad! She went on stage to fill in some nice backing vocals for I Am Ghost during 2 songs. It was a nice throwback to the days when they had a female in the band. I know very little about it other than the beautiful harmonies in the back track of one of their live songs. Either way, it was a nice change up for their set.
Afterwards we had some time to hang out with the boys in Dommin for dinner. If you haven’t taken a look at their myspace page, you should take a quick listen to get a feel for the music they write but be prepared to have their performance blow you away. They didnt strike me as being a band I would like until I saw them perform. Chris’ vocals feel more real in person. Just wait til you see it for yourself.
We tried to get all 3 bands out to the same place for dinner but the chosen meeting place had changed locations. So we had a nice mile long trek to a newly relocated Tijuana Flatts in Orlando, enjoyed some fantastic mexican food and a nice walk along a man made pond. We grabbed some drinks at a bar down the road from the venue, where everyone cut loose and relaxed. Chad was the entertainment of the night, dancing his ass off to the AMAZING local 80’s cover band. Some woman in a taco suit danced with him for a few steps. I really hope some of it is on video.
