Luna's Cafe

Sacramento - January 25th

Eric, Dita (the documentarian) and I got up early, well early for us at least, and went and played at American River College. An old teacher of mine from High School, Keith Atwater, set up the gig for us. It was another lunch time show in a cafeteria and it is always nice to have the opportunity to play for new people.

I haven't talked about Alex Dita much because he has tried to stay neutral to the band and just be a quiet observer. He has filmed the entire tour which includes every show we did as well as moments of us in our down time and on the road. the footage is completely priceless for us and as a little, independent, unknown rock band - its awesome to have the ability to get the whole thing video documented. he will be making a full length documentary and whatever footage he doesnt use in the documentary we will post online and have some new web content.

We played in a cafe in Downtown Sacramento called Luna's Cafe. Very cool venue but really small. Jason said he counted only 40 seats. 45 minutes before the show started the seats were already filled up. It is a hometown show as Jason, Jonathan and Kellen live there now. At some point they had to stop letting people into Luna's which as an artist you cant really complain about - its actually one of those bragging rights type of things - to try to see how many fire codes you can break. We guessed that there were about 100 people there.

the set was:

fort bragg
sit and stare
molly
don't forget
southern california
roads
racecar
goodnight
a thousand years
love to see you smile
shes suddenly
summer roof

this was the set list we used pretty consistently for the last half of the tour.

thomas cunningham opened the show - we played second and justin farren played last. i wish the order of it had been a little different as the place really cleared out after our set and about 25 to 30 stayed to see Justin who deserves better. he is a killer songwriter/storyteller and a fantastic performer.

It was so nice to be back in Sacramento. I am planning to move back there in the coming months to continue with this band.
