Gig in Austria
Hi my name is James. When i toured Europe in the summer of 2007 with Blue Lakes International Exchange Program we had a outdoor show scheduled at an elevation around 8 to 11 thousand feet. Down in the valley it was about 55 degrees very mild for the season. The bus drove up the mountain and we arrived at this small city with a huge pavilion. when we walked out of the bus we could see our breaths and thats not the worst of it. It started raining. When you played your horn fogged up horribly.Then we battled our way through the 1.5 hour show. I swear it was around frizzing that evening. It was the worst gig ever
