Debut
My SG made its public debut today. I used it for the first set. I think I’ll use the Les Paul for the second. 
All Set
The line check is done. The sound check is done too. We had some issues with the new PA so we switched back to the old one. Also, I forgot my ear plugs.
30 minutes (approximately) to show time.
Stuff
Why does it feel like I bring more and more stuff every time?
Restrung
New string on both guitars. Packing up for the gig now.
Game On
Dig That Crazy Spicket
The water level is high, but i need some sunshine for these pics. Oh well.
Now It’s Three Days
Yesterday I said I had practiced three days in a row but it was only two. Tonight it’s three days in a row. I didn’t play through either of the sets, I just played scales and bad blues scale riffs for 30-40 minutes or so. I did play through an amp and I did use my pedal board.
Actually I played through two amps at once because I am crazy like that.
If I get the chance tomorrow I’ll probably pick and chose a few songs from the set list that are a little more challenging and run through those. Tonight I poked around with some pedal settings. The analog delay is set for a slap back, the reverb has a new setting that seems to be working. I set up a decent boost level. Things like that.
Oh and I played the shit out of the ol’ blues scale.

Two Days in a Row?
I practiced again tonight. That’s two nights in a row. Oh. My. God. Woah, wait a second… I was at a band practice on Sunday too so I actually practiced THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW!!!!
Last night I played the first set on our rough draft setlist and the first two songs on the second set. My playlist for some reason skipped a song from set 1 though and I didn’t notice until later. Tonight I started with the song I missed and then did the whole second set and the first song from the third set.
It wasn’t quite as thorough as last night. Last night I played through the full rig I am planning on using at the gig, and I stood for the whole time and I didn’t take any breaks. Tonight I didn’t have the house to myself so I played through an app on my iPad while listening to the playlist on my phone. I also had to take a break when the love of my life came home and we had to shuffle the cars around and I sat down for a lot of it.
Still… I played for a solid hour for the second night in a row. I am shocked.
