So tonight I went to the String Cheese Incident for free thanks to The Planet. Obviously I was headed to the show by myself, but I had two tickets. I attempted to get some beer money for the show, but all of the people standing around outside looking for tickets didn’t have any money. I decided to just give the ticket to this one guy, who then proceeded to give me a hug. Aren’t hippies great? :) So I headed inside to see a nice taping section setup right behind the soundboard. The security had given all tapers the 2 rows immediately behind the board. The past two shows I have been to at the Uptown have had something like this, the other show was of course moe. I think that all bands should have a designated taper area, even if it is just a couple of those portable cages. It makes everything so much easier. The show was great, those guys really can jam, and their production isn’t too bad either. Legendary blues guitarist Taj Mahal (link has sound, beware!) was in town for his own show, and I guess he came over to the Uptown after his show. SCI and Taj Mahal came out for a second encore to play a tune. How cool is that? I’m glad I went…

Tomorrow afternoon I’m headed to Cleveland for this years Feelin’ Better Than Everfine Festival. I’m sure this is gonna be a great time. Updates when I return…
