Whoa! Last night was a doozy. First we setup the full sound system and equipment. During the soundcheck we were approached by a wedding party celebrating at a bar across from us.

“We curated a special playlist for this reception. We’re afraid that your music will drown ours out. Can you move down the street?”

So we tore down everything and headed down the block to setup the second time. As we start to soundcheck a rain storm descended upon us and we had to tear down all the equipment in “fire drill” fashion.

Here we are after setting up for a third time…ready to rip!
