If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
If you weren't at last night's Cascade Winds concert, you missed one hell of show. The place was absolutely packed, our food drive for COCAAN was a huge success, and we had a heck of a good time (and I know the audience did). Playing at the Tower Theatre was probably the best thing we've done, despite being cozy up on stage (we had to do the percussion section in two rows, but it worked), and we've already reserved the Tower for two concerts next fall as we had to turn people away. But we played great, the crowd screamed and yelled, and we had a ball up there. I'm looking forward to the season starting up again this fall.
I have no idea if anybody that reads this site came to the concert (I didn't get to mingle in the audience during intermission much) so if you did and want to share you comments (good, bad, or otherwise) feel free to share here!

The only thing that kept us from having a mob scene out in front of the theatre is that the stormy weather kept people away. I talked with the COCAAN food bank this morning, and they are very happy to be a part of the band family. After they weigh the food, they'll let us know how generous our audience is.
Funny how now we are at the Tower Theatre, suddenly BOTH tv stations are interested in us. Couldn't get a boo out of them when the band was having tough times a few years ago. Everyone loves a winner. To be fair, there was only the one station back then.
I haven't completely come down from last night yet.
