Live, it&#039;s a weapon (that creates rather than destroys) and when there&#039;s nothing to do in between shows it comforts because it constantly surprises with each new idea it gives up and keeps life vital and refreshing. I just hate fucking tuning the damn thing. so when I found out I was going to lose Jules our guitar tech next month and that I&#039;d be responsible for looking after myself for a while - I was bummed. I had to go out and find a pedal tuner and today in Tallahassee was all about that. luckily, The Beta Bar had a runner take me down to the street with 4 guitar stores in a row (how the fuck they all make a living is beyond me. they are literally all next door to each other. must be a hell of a lot of guitar players in town) where I got what I needed. we then proceeded to the Greyhound Bus station to pick up Jed, Trust Company&#039;s lighting guy, who got left behind last night in Jacksonville. He looked pretty shitty.<br /> Showtime, Memento started the night off with an amazing set full of high drama to a crowd of about 4 people and the rest of the bands. I am starting to really dig those lads. they never fail to give it everything no matter who&#039;s there. by the time we played there were a few more heads in the crowd but that didn&#039;t stop us from bringing back Steve Dibble and the Kiwis, our AC/DC tribute act where we play &#039;Riff Raff&#039; and get the Trust Company merch guy (you guessed it - Steve Dibble) out from behind his desk to become Bon Scott (and, man, can he wail!) the rest of the show is a blur of sweat, a broken microphone, swinging from the lighting rig and landing badly on Tom&#039;s drum kit. a good one in other words. Revolution Smile (who played after us) have songs that stick in my head and big, fat guitar sounds that play mean, 2 note riffs and remind me of a cross between early Soundgarden and the Unsane. I am starting to really like them also. the guitar was the winner on the day.<br /> <br /> -Jon.X<br /> [[Category:Journal]]</div>
