Webster Main Stage
So not much was to be expected of our last show seeing as we thought it was going to get cancelled all morning because of the ice rain. We couldn't contact anyone at the Webster Theater, however, so we showed up at around 1:45 and immediately loaded our shit onto the Webster stage. As soon as I stepped onto the stage and looked down into the dark, empty floor of the theater I knew we were going to rock. So what if no one showed up. We were going to rock hard like always.

So after lounging the miniscule backstage area and taking various trips to the sketchy gas station across the street, we were prompted to sound check all of the instruments. Impressive sound. So impressive that when we squared off the ticket sales with Rick "Flair" Clair, he told us he really dug the song. So anyway, we waited a couple hours and stepped up on stage as the first band of the night. My tuner was crapping out on Billy but used its last breath to get everyone tuned.

This is when we rocked. It was such an amazing feeling. The sound was perfectly mixed and extremely powerful. We could actually hear our vocals and instruments on stage! The time went by quickly, but each song came out the best we could've asked for (after selling only nine tickets by the way). So here's the set list:

1. Rock Off
2. Take Me As I Am
3. Despondency
4. Once Upon A Time
5. Sentimental Girl
6. African Battle Cry
7. Juxtaposition
8. Wizard of Rock
9. Goodnight Sweetheart

Thats right. We played a new song, Goodnight Sweetheart, last. According to my mom, this was a "gutsy move" because in context we were playing a ballad to a crowd with Pantera, Metallica, and Tool shirts. But we got people holding their lighters and cell phones up as we played. Awesome feeling. We can only hope we get asked to play there again.
