eX-Girl Tour Concludes. I had an excellent time working with the three women that make up eX-Girl. They have gone back to Planet Kero now, but will soon return to Planet Earth for a tour of Europe. They told me “sugoi” as they left, which I think means they thought I did an excellent job. Or at least I hope so 😉

The SxSW festival in Austin went well. At our show at Elysium, we were blessed with a good (volunteer) stage manager, and other volunteers who helped get band gear on and off in record time in cramped spaces. I caught a look at the production info the local crew got at the venues, it took awhile to figure out the input list, but once you think of it digitally it begins to make sense. I was even more amused when I saw that all the venues got the same thing whether they had 40 channels or 12.

Our first night there, eX-Girl played outside of Emo’s. Seems Dave Rat got rid of his classic Yamaha PM-2000. The thing is definitely in need of some love. Quiet PA, threat of rain, and cranky Yamaha aside, the show goes well and the local crew saves the day by doing a great job.
