Chromeo Day 1, Boston, MA (10-01-08)
Ah, the Paradise Rock Club. I have not missed this club.
Well, it's not the worst, but it's not the ideal place to work in. It just happens to be large enough for shows. The crew there is pretty good, so it'll work out, just not a fun setup to work in...
The day started off painfully early in Long Beach, NY, where we had to pick up a trailer from our dear friends U-Haul (I loathe U-Haul for real). It took forever to get it sorted out, but at least it was because they were trying to get the lights to work properly, so not due to the usual U-Haul incompetence. Eventually we hit the road and started the drive up to Boston.
The drive was painless, soundcheck went well (especially since we were breaking in a new front of house engineer), had to run out and get a new keyboard at dinner time, but the food was good when we got back. We then loitered rather effectively til show time.
Sold out show is always fun, but what's not fun is when you have to drive for 2 hours after it's done. That sort of sucked. Especially when the running board broke off of our van and delayed us for 45mins. That was really fun. Thankfully the hotel was decent, but at 4am after a 20hr day, it really doesn't make a difference...
