Pink Floyd Shows (Part 2)

We finished the show in Red Cliff really late and spent a while cleaning up the equipment and loading the trailer. By the time we were done, it was approaching 3:00 in the morning and I was very tired, to put it mildly. We got into our rooms across the street and quickly got to bed. The bed was really hard, but apparently it didn't matter, because I was asleep in seconds. The rooms were really nice, but they all had one quirk: they had a light switch at the door that controlled power for the entire room, including the bathroom. Once we figured that little quirk out, everything was good.
We ate breakfast the next morning in the grill and left town at about 11:30, expecting to get to our next show with a lot of time to get set up and get a sound check and everything. Didn't work out that way, of course. We got stopped for a while in Denver rush-hour traffic and lost for a few minutes, but eventually we made it to the next venue, a place called Nissi's in Lafayette, just East of Boulder. Nice venue, nice owners, small stage for a ten-piece band. We got all set up and got our sound check done with minutes to spare before opening time. Nissi's is a restaurant and music venue. They have nightly entertainment, and we happened to be that band for 2 nights. This is the web site for the club. Our performance started between 7:30 and 8 and we played for just over 2 hours with a short break in between. Overall, the show went well, minus one song screw-up and having the sustain pedal for the main keyboard plugged in wrong.
When we were done, we left everything there (since we were playing the next night as well) and headed for our overnight destination, the owners' cabin just over an hour from Nissi's. It was a gorgeous house built among the pines with great scenery and room for all of us to crash until we met the next day for the second performance, which went better than the first. Afterwards, we went back to the cabin for the night. We loaded up the trailer on Sunday morning and headed back for home, which will be the subject of the next entry...
