Phoenix Art Museum

Last night was my first time playing at the Phoenix Art Museum's First Friday. There was a lot of talent in the building. A great range of artists- in both level and style- filled Whiteman Hall. Being my first time, I was uncertain of the exact flow of things. (i.e. I didn't even realize my set could be played with my Les Paul and drums! bummer! ... next time;) One other apparently "giant" mistake I made, was forgetting my guitar cable. At least "Mr. -Long -socks- mean -sound- man" made it into a huge deal. Of course, there was a cord available for use anyway, so it ended up working out after all! So to summarize; PAM First Friday's are a blast, I will be more prepared next time, and there are a lot of really talented artists in the area! It wasn't a perfect show...not by any stretch...but I learned some valuable lessons from it. By the way, I must mention that I discovered the sound guys angst was not strictly personal, he was in fact equally unkind to every performer. ;)
