Oh the weekend that I have had!
My company did the sound for the Paul Green School of Rock this weekend. Two 15 hour days. And 90 acts in total on 4 stages.
Now this is the same guy that Jack Black did the movie about. Although it was stolen from him. It was suppose to be a documentary. Instead it was turned into that movie. But, Paul is still doing good despite it all. He is now coast to coast.
Some of the highlights of the weekend were
Devo
Goldfinger
Less then Jake
Dropkick Murphys
It was long, I mean really long. But a hell of a lot of fun.

Jul 01, 2008 10:14 pm DROP KICK MURHPYS Hell ya!!!!!!!!
The boyz and I have a ritual of putting in Warriors Code and simply driving until it is over. I am on my third copy of that CD from them. We have all their stuff. But sadly they have not played a show that I could take them to and they really wanted to see them badly. Maybe Tuna will get to see them somewhere now.
Less then Jake, do you remember them as a trio? Power Pop! They were good then but even better now. Nice guys as well.
But nothing beats a Dropkick show.
Jul 01, 2008 11:14 pm Your wise not to take them to one of their shows.
Not that they are not OK to hang with. They just don't know when to say when.
During "I'm going back to Boston" The lead guitar player was puking all over the stage.
Thank God that they had their own mic's and engineers. I just looked at their engineer, told him "See Ya!" and got the hell out of there.
I also made their guitar tech clean up my monitor.

Roger (the one in the pic) runs his own studio in Gainsville. You shoulda told him to join HRC.
Jul 02, 2008 01:52 pm Oh I didn't know that he had a studio.
He was the one that I was talking to all day as well.
Really nice guy. But, it was pure hell for us on that stage. We only had 15 minutes to change over each act. and that included the nationals.
So Roger and I never had the chance to talk socially.
