Members kurfu Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 We played at a 5K Fun Run for Special Olympics on Saturday 7/4... Set-up was at 5AM, first set was 6:30AM to 7:30AM, followed by a 20 minute break while the did the run, and then another hour of music while all of the runners came back in. Never played a set that early in the morning before, but it was fun, and everyone appreciated the music to help get everybody moving.

Members screamtone Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 A radio station here in town used to sponsor a happy hour for people that worked third shift... they'd get a bar to open at 6am Friday morning, and broadcast the morning drive time show live from the bar. I played a few of those. The third shift people were really appreciative to have a place to go after work with drinks and music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted July 6, 2009 Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 we did an outside run gig the last 2 years in October. The first year they didn't have us start playing until the race was finished AND the awards were given out. We played to like 5 people... last year we had a gig the night before and started playing around 8:30am (before the race) and then another set around 11:00am (before the awards). I'm kind of glad we aren't doing it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kurfu Posted July 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 we did an outside run gig the last 2 years in October. October? heh... I'm in Houston... In July... We started sweating before the sun even came up, and by 10am when we had finished loading out, I felt like I was about to have a heat-stroke.

Members kurfu Posted July 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2009 No wonder they wanted to do it so early! Yep... Take a look at the pictures.... I'm the big guy playing bass with massive sweat-stains on my tee-shirt... had to be close to 100 with major humidity... this was all before 9am.
