Miss y'all! Tonight's the night!
Supplicated Velvet Thunder replied to Supplicated Velvet Thunder's topic in Random Thoughts
Well a lil bird got in my head after the show so I reckon I ain't allowed to stay gone anymore and we'll be around, again. Nothing fancy and no weeks of tour but we can manage some regular attendance after all, I didn't get to see any of YOU folks at Davenport and y'all are half the fun! Kiss kiss my darlings!!!! -
Well I suck at using the forums now.... Didn't mean to quote, can't get rid of it.... Whatever. So, we made it to the show! Stood outside as crowd gathered and played banjo and my mandolin w no E strings- Jesse ended up just scaring the hippies since they didn't care anyway- did have one kid harmonica jam w us and his girl played a mean tambourine it was chilly for fingers anyway, so we went in. Found a spot near front and as they tuned, dude in front of us hollered "shakedown" and he wasn't disappointed! Right into GSET and that's about when I remembered how to dance- even cleared a lil space from the youngins to flail a bit. They slowed it down a bit for FOTD and I floated thru the CC rider, which by this point had me guessing '81. Oh, boy, and I was right cause I still know how to play the game!!! Candyman was gorgeous and exploding and I remembered why I used to do this every night!!!! Uncle river was a hoot and the Althea was swooning and tasty. LLR melted my face off and I almost tasted the rain pouring down... And I wasn't the only one! Might as well took us to set break with a banging of bells and I couldn't be happier to finally be home! Luckily, our money came thru from Jesse's work that morning so we grabbed a few beers and a top balcony spot for second set- Jesse was tired and I needed more space to actually dance!!! Some younger boys with fresh patches and adorable overalls chatted w us and one even touched the bottom of my foot (my feet were flung over the seat in front of me at the edge of the uppermost balcony rail) and told me "you're feet sure are dirty" to which I informed him, "yes, that's from dancing barefoot down there" and he laughed cause they had been beside us for first set and apparently also now realized it was time for some space upstairs lol. Samson started off second set with a roar and I was stoked to finally be away from the crowd with room to move- which I took full advantage of. Kids beside me also had plenty of room so by ship of fools we were sailing together away from those to which we lend no hand. Jeff got way into it, super on point and weighted!!! Good thing the anchor was dropped cause the sailor saint woulda had me outta body under slightly different personal circumstances lol. Freaking fabulous!!!! Close enough to pretend, my ass. That was the real thing. So at this point I know we're gonna end up shoving drums space into a he's gone truckin sandwich and I got down for the cause. They did that marvelous soulful mostly a capella breakdown DSO has perfected in the he's gone and I almost cried but was too joyful to be leaking. Took a breather til truckin but the lil dance pit in the front left did their job and those kids raged the shit outta drums and space for all of us. Truckin got me out on the floor all alone (Jesse fell asleep- poor fella had been up since 4am and scaring hippies takes it all outta him- we didn't play our pirate song cause it woulda been too much, but our setlist is kinda scary and he has to scream so much.... LMAO) and the black peter had me finally completely gone from the theatre and floating/dancing in another world of sound and lights. It lasted forever and I didn't wanna come back. But that's why we can't get no satisfaction!!! A flame through the dark and spitting fire, hey hey hey. That was the stuff!!!! With a silly ol US Blues to take us home. So perfect! Glad Lisa came out to do us a solid. She really belted it and had fun with it and the woman enough sealed the night in gusto. So grateful for such a joyous night. Coming home was easy. Thank you, all of you, that make this home and carry it on your backs and in your hearts cause knowing home is always there and getting to come back, if just for one night, was comforting in ways I didn't know the world could still soothe.... Well, maybe not the world, but DSO is the only band that does what they do and that still means the world to me. Fuckin love all you, kids, thank you for a real good time. Will try not to be all night long coming home next time kiss kiss

Been a blast so far! Got here in time for Oktoberfest in La Crosse and had an amazing time playing music on the corner there. The brats, beer and cheese are indeed very good to us both and it's high time to go home tonight. We were gonna go play the open mic in la crosse but heading to Iowa instead cause this time Iowa is better lol.... But hey, my parents are from Iowa so watch it, Tea lmao. I have few words to express my joy in preparing to go dance the night away!!! Jesse will be home from work soon so we can head out. Gonna be our dogs first night alone in house (cause we own one, lol) instead of the car and I think it'll be mighty swell. Sooooooon........ Kiss kiss, u know I'll have a review up by morning lol- gotta see where night takes us. -
Well, howdy folks. It's been..... Some three years I think??? We ended up finally making it out of South Carolina and got a place in the driftless in Wisconsin (amazing!!!) So heading to Davenport tonight. Been too long since I got to say "show tonight" and I had to hollatchya'll. just got my first pocket computer (non blackberry keyboard or flip phone) and technology saved my passwords for here n everything..... Good to be goin home, again. Kiss kiss!!!!

My buddy has been to the cop shop there more than once in a night and is still excited to go see dso there every chance he gets. It's about priorities. I sell patches and trinkets and try to keep my mind as clear as possible so I can remember each moment of each show so only recently have I even had questionably drunken show nights. And a lot of places I can't vend. But when everyone I know talks of this spot as a special highlight..... diamond in the rough? It sounds like EXACTLY the kind of place I love dso playing. It brings the light.... sunny side of the street might be dark but we poke around with exceptional grace and plenty of flailing. See y'all brave ones there bwahahahahaha -

Colonial Theatre Keene, NH
Supplicated Velvet Thunder replied to Taper Ron's topic in Tour Information Hub
Lovely show! We made it!!! After finally getting the van here we played in a dreamland of swamps on the land and when I had just given up hope on making it to show Jesse's dad wanted to drive us! The dream continued in a cozy lil theatre building with a Bertha I could already feel sizzling thru the tuning. Delicious. I like nights like this with Bertha in the beginning and a scarlet bonus fire closing out the first set.... very very nice! The jackaroe in 77 is one I really like so I had a lot of fun dancing. The whole place was into it all from start to finish. Row jimmy and cassidy and uncle and other usual suspects reminded me it was a dream from my lil hidden spot we were pushed to as the small dance area up front filled in and we sought dancing space there on the side.... balcony second set. TN Jed was super ginormous and crowd pleasing.... great space and great people and that special 77 sound from the band. All loose and wibbly wobbly with grace. Comes a time. Yeah. That happened in a big way. There was more. A lot more. But.... that Columbia show may have kept my face and I'm not sure I'm really here anymore and ever since my perspective is different.... I already saw the show I was looking for but I'm still here. I'm still here. It is surreal. Beyond description. I'm so joyful. St Stephen always brings the most wonderful vibe to the crowd but this was especially true in Keene. Ripple..... ahhhhhh..... the ripple. Been making gas money with that amongst others to get up here this time and I was deeply content to da da da la la la la while snuggled into the one that was cool enough to finally get a van with...... thanks, DSO, you really did bring me home this time. Again. Into the dream. Still no face. Kiss kiss! Enjoy the Jubilee, y'all, I'm not gonna be there, gotta meet jesses friends at strange creek. But I will see you in July. Grateful and joyful!!! -
