WTF - A Hell of a Show!

Update #17 · Apr 30, 2012 · comment

For the last ten days it has been a whirlwind of words and music and driving, and sleep depravation, and fun and madness, and friends old and new. It has been a pleasure to meet a number of our kickstarter backers on the road! 

This has truly been history in the making as three generations of artists have worked together, all of them meeting for the very first time. To see the bonds being created between all of the artists involved has been probably the most exciting thing for me. The performances are phenomenal but the conversations on the days at our little house in Astoria were the real prize for me - Dave Archer and John Sinclair listening to a recording of a beat poet both knew decades ago, Ugly Shyla and Shane realizing they may have been separated at birth, Dave Densmore showing off his boat to all of us, friendships made have been amazing to witness! 

Four cities, five days, six shows each promised to be different, and each one has been for certain. A few things did not pan out for us - the live stream for one, we have had the entire tour filmed though and videos will be released as soon as possible, and those will be posted for all to enjoy - more on that later.

Right now Dave Archer is about to perform his LAST EVER Tesla coil demonstration, and I cannot miss it!

More soon!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!

Love,

Amy Bugbee
