How fast was the stage spinning? I assume not fast enough to dislodge any musicians and fling them into the audience, but fast enough to make the guys dizzy?

Bermuda, if you're reading this, is it a hard venue to play at?


it does about two or three full rotations per song

Sometimes not even one rotation per song. Tuesday night, we were in secdtion F, and we missed seeing the front of Al for entire songs. :( But it was still totally worth it. Especially the scarf. :D

well it might be nice to have a band member land on your lap anytime during the performance..... :biggrin:


This is most certainly true... but it's not just the musicians. Think about it. Bermuda, for example, might kinda enjoy finding himself in a fan's lap for a change, but nobody would enjoy suddenly finding Bermuda's kit in their lap. I don't think I'd even be in favor of accordion bombardment. :nervous:

But it doesn't have the word "polka" in it. We don't want anyone to call it a drinking song :P.

I was there! That's where I got the signature that's on my ankle!

Whoa - weird memory flash! Dave - not sure if you remember this at all, but I'm pretty sure you e-mailed me before the Mall appearance asking for directions? I think I had a Plattsburgh.edu e-mail address (I was in college at the time?).



I remember the "Bermuda likes my sig" signature line.....LOL.

Well, ok, if you've always dreamed of having a lot of really big drums in your lap, go right ahead. Bermuda can come collect them when you're done dreaming. :P
