Got a new sound gig at St. Andrew's Hall & The Shelter. Did a couple of nights so far. It's really cool. My first concert ever was at St. Andrews. Smashing Pumpkins on the Gish tour in 92. I was 16. There was a lot of crowd surfing that day. I got tossed up right in front of the stage, was passed along for about 10 feet and then dropped without warning into a small hole in the crowd. The wind was knocked out of me from falling 6 feet flat onto my back and I gasped for air for a minute. I remember looking up when I was about alright and seeing five or six kids circled around. Just past them in vision was Billy Corgan (with long hair), still playing and looking really concerned for the dead kid. Ever since I've always wanted to play Saint Andrew's Hall. Running sound there is amazing.
On a sad note, my old mate Rob Kenna just passed away. He was someone I had a lot of history in common with but had never been close to for really no reason. He was a fellow musician. He was a stand up guy and we never had a quarrel. I always thought of him as one of my people. Tomorrow is his memorial.
He had an album coming out and dates booked for a few months. It was really good. We all lost out. Hear his music. MySpace URL:
