SEPTEMBER 4 - MASHPEE, MA - Schmoozin' on the Cape

Last night was a really fun gig on the Cape at the Cotuit Arts Center. Playing these kinds of places can either be great, performing to a well respected audience, or awful, with a disdainful crowd running for the doors in horror (ahem, Villa Montalvo).
Well, we lucked out here in Mashpee - we had not only a nicely sized intellectual group, but also a rather boisterous bunch. Perhaps they were one is the same - it's difficult to know... but we did have an interestingly unique meet and greet PRE-show. An hour before we were set to take the stage, we took to the floor and shook hands, discussed music, and signed things while dedicated fans sipped wine and munched on cheese. It was defintiely different, and I don't know that I hated it - it was actually pretty neat to play for an acquainted audience for once (besides playing in Philly, of course). I just wish I could have had some of that wine and cheese...
Ade played another great show, despite an ailing ankle - hopefully it's better today. And Eric swears he needs to lay off the cheese, as it makes his joints sore (google lactic acid + fibromyalgia). I need to lay low, for I fear I'm next... I'll just keep taking vitamins and avoiding sharp objects or risky activities.

So with that, I leave to eat a nice Brekkie at Persy's Place next door. The free cornbread, though - now that could be risky...
