Our show tonight at The Cutting Room was a showcase for the APAP Conference, which is a booking conference for performing arts centers. The hope is to impress these folks so they book you at their venues. The showcase was put on by our awesome booking agency New Frontier Touring, so all of the artists that performed tonight are on their roster. It was a pleasure to meet all the artists, and there was a lot of nervous energy before the show. All of the artists must pay to perform at these showcases, so there is a lot of pressure to put on a great show in your 40 minute set. Like everyone else, we were a bit nervous, as we were unsure if the PAC crowd would be into our electronic infused music. Once we started playing, all that vanished. Everyone in the audience was cheering loudly, dancing, and clapping to the music. We ended with a standing ovation, which I was informed, is very rare at these types of events. We also had some of our friends from Rhythmic Circus in the audience and they were kindly uproarious and hung out all night with us. It's always good to see friends from home when you are out roaming the country. I also got to see a high school friend who lives in the big city. I was extremely tired after the show. Not just your regular tired, but that tired where your body starts to shut down. Luckily the crew was kind enough to go straight to the hotel and let me sleep while they went out on the town. What a crappy time to hit the wall, but sleep is a commodity on tour and I was happy to horde some.
The next morning we had a quick meeting with Mary from New Frontier and hit the road to our next show Wilkes Barre, PA.
Drove to Wilkes Baare.
