silly me..

so i thought i'd share this, because i think it's funny and laney got a kick out of it herself.. but i was e-mail everyone that was going to be involved this month for first fridays.. and i wrote lomo marino instead of lobo marino when writing the e-mail.
for some reason i did that with everyone of my notes without noticing it.. but laney e-mails me back that lomo marino means "sea pork" haha.. instead of lobo marino which means "sea lion" haha.. at any rate it was laughable to say the least.. thankfully the posters didn't say "sea pork"... phew!

ps. i'm really psyched for next week!

i went with this poster design to hopefully ward off rain for that evening since we've had so much rain come pouring down last time.. but even if the weatherman says otherwise.. we are prepared with our event tent and plenty of plastic bags..

rain rain!!

so, it rained last night but that didn't do much to stop the evening!
around 8pm, Ohbliv got into his set the rain started coming down real good but we thought that it would pass like every other rain cloud that passed through but this one came down! Ohbliv actually hovered over his mixer to shelter it from the rain.. but when that wasn't good enough he tried playing underneath the table..
but the PA wasn't going to be okay sitting out in that stuff so we brought it all in.. at first everyone was certain that was going to kill the evening. but shortly after people kept flowing into the courtyard but we also had an event tent that we probably should have gotten up prior to all this (oops..) but at any rate we popped it up  (in the pouring rain, so we all got soaked - but after probably one of the hottest summer days in richmond.. it was a well deserved shower!) and moorish temple was ready to go!

moorish temple consists of marshe wyche on the bass, dean lee on the lead guitar and josh on the drums.
they were fantastic, everyone was stoked to hear them! it was unbelievable to me that marshe has only just learned the bass a couple of months ago, she killed some bass!

immediately after their set, we brought the tent down so everyone could see dave watkins set the best.. because at this point the rain clouds subsided and you could see a few stars.
we had a dancer that night in a yellow shirt that just jammed out like no ones business, he even kicked the pieces of tent left behind to clean up later, so he could have enough room to dance!
dave's set blew everyone out of the water, as usual! i request that dave bangs on the drum more often!

thank you for everyone sticking it out despite the rain!
