After we checked in and grabbed a quick lunch in the hotel lobby, we snuck in a decent nap (2-3 hours) before heading off to the venue for our first show of the tour. Sound check went smoothly (read: not 6 hours) with no major problems other than the room we were in. The room made the sound a very difficult beast to deal with, there was tons of ‘slapback’ from the back wall which made everything we did sound like it had a bit of delay on it, but we managed to hold it together for the most part. We did accidentally start the show without the drummer at the drumset, though…doh.
After signing autographs and taking pictures we were fed some delicious chicken with rice and fruit that hit the spot. And now we have a good long night in front of us to finally catch up on some rest.
More tomorrow.
