The Gallivan Center and Everything That Came With It!

From the beginning the day just started out on the wrong foot. In the morning we got an email from our guy doing our CDs saying that there was an imperfection in our artwork for the sleeve of our CD. So we had to take the time to fix that. Then we weren’t even sure if Ben was going to be able to get off work in time to make it to the show… but he did! So we all met up at Aaron’s house and then headed to the jam spot about an hour and a half later than planned. We loaded up all of the gear into the trailer and we were on our way. We got to 123^rd in the Sandy area and we noticed the right wheel of the trailer wasn’t turning anymore. We didn’t know what to do, it was snowy, icy and we were late! We had no other choice but to get off and try to find a way to fix it. We headed to the Firestone that was right off of the freeway exit, but their wait was an hour! We were supposed to play in 45 minutes, so that just didn’t work! Ben brilliantly made it possible for Les Schwab to be waiting for us to just back in and fix the thing. So while the guys at Les Schwab were looking at the trailer, Tim went to roll his window up and it wouldn’t go… then he realized that his battery had died, as if the day could have gotten any worse. So an employee jumped his car. Turns out that is had something to do with the electric brakes, they basically just needed to be unhooked because they weren’t working properly. They were working more as a magnet making it so the wheel wouldn’t turn. It was a huge relief; the guys didn’t even charge us! We all hopped into the car… except Aaron, he was lost… we’re still not sure where he went actually. He found us finally across the street at the 7-11 getting gas. I guess all that matter is we found him and WE MADE IT TO THE SHOW, on time too, well kind of. We made it in time to set up in 10 minutes which was pretty much a miracle for us. We ended up playing on time too! The guys back stage loved the music and were groovin’ the whole time. It was so freezing, there were icicles on Matt’s trumpet and during every break the guitar players held their hands up to the heaters. But all in all it was a cool show, there was snow coming down, ice skating, hockey and they even had us up on a big screen. It was a cool experience! After that we headed over to The Huka Bar to get some food and smoke hookah. Nate the owner and his wife Aimee joined us for awhile, it was a good time. Always is at The Huka Bar though right!? Hope your all had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

We’ll post pics of the show soon!
