gotta show at clay street this weekend that should be really good. i crack on these guys alot because i want to see them reach the potential that i see for them but one area that i really admire them for is allowing folks to come in and do their thing (as far as music and preaching is concerned). so many facilities around here will let you come in but only if you look and smell and act like they do. well hell. if they are just like you, then you don't need them to come in. ah hah, said the blind man to his deaf and dumb girlfriend...
anyway, there will be 4 bands this saturday and i have arranged for my pro sound guy that does big shows to come in and set some things up. this has always been a dream of mine, really since i was little, to be a part of something like this. it will be even better because the first set will be worship (i think) and the second set will be Wade Sparkman who has developed over the years and is amazing on vocals. Sets 3 and 4 are SA bands that may or may not be any good.
just for some extra thump we are gonna bring in some much larger sub cabinets cause the JBL 18" cabs that clay street has need to be re-coned. these are supposed to be rated at 5,ooo watts each with at least 2 subs in each cabinet. apparently you need a couple of guys to move them. to power these cabs we will use special 3-phase amps that put out who knows how much power. of course to power the amps we will have to bring in a generator b/c the building just doesn't have enough power. doesn't this just sound goooood. after this is done we will bring in 2 trusses of lights (not sure what will be on them) that we should be able to hang from the rafters. to power the lights we will use a hog 500 controller that i hear is pretty neat. to put all of this in perspective...this same equipment was used for the linkin park / korn concert at verizon wireless amphitheater last weekend in SA. of course we will only use a fraction of the equipment.
well that's enough for now. i hope you have a great week and come to the show if u are in the kerr area this sat around 8p.
