The next morning, I got up minutes before our appointed time to head down to the local alternative station and play a quick acoustic show for a small audience of lovely fans. It was kind of like getting up to play at church, half-awake and sore from playing sports the day before. In spite of our dragging disposition, we manage to pull it together to deliver an acceptable performance.
At the station, I found out that Smashing Pumpkins were playing that night as well. They have been following us this whole tour. It's not the band you want to compete against in ticket sales. So, I thought the Mute Math show for the evening was probably going to be a bit slim. Well, I was wrong.
Last night was a huge surprise. Like I said, I didn't expect much of a crowd since pre-sales were very low and Smashing Pumpkins were playing down the road; however, we had a great turn out. And, not only was it a good size crowd, but everyone was getting into it, singing and moving to the music. What else could I ask for? Nada, nada limonada.

Well, Roy, Shannon grabbed up some friends from Cedarville University and made it to the show. This is part of what she posted later on a certain message board:
"...Aaaahh! Roy, man. Roy was driving me crazy. That bass was so tasty, I wanted to eat it. He sounded so good. He always is, but.... Something in there sounded really ridiculously and particularly nice. It was like chocolate covered mountaintops and waterfalls of caramel....in audio form! ..."
I think she liked it.
Good to hear about the amazing day off.
Personally, I'm not surprised at the turn-out. :) I'd rather see you than Smashing Pumpkins anyday. The presales thing is rather reminiscent of Salt Lake City. LOL Glad to hear that Columbus recognizes good music.
