DC

Yacht Rock played a private gig in Washington DC Thursday evening.  Easy gig!  Hans drove our gear up on Wednesday (and back on Friday) and we flew up and back for the event.  No riding in the van, and we still used our own gear, plus Kip running sound for us--that's the way to go!


We even had to time to check in to our hotel and walk to lunch before set up and soundcheck.



The event was at the Hard Rock.  Tiny stage, but we squeezed in.


This gig featured Robbie Dupree and Walter Egan as special guests.


Loud stage.


Post show, my alto got knocked over on the tile floor.  It's probably got some damage to the upper half--time to go see Bryan Lopes!  Good thing I have a spare horn at home.

Not the greatest of gigs, but the clients were super cool.   We hung out with them at the hotel bar afterwards.

In each of our rooms was a handwritten note from the client and a small bottle of champagne.  Nice touch!  I like these people.


Back to the airport the next day.  We rode with Robbie.  Walter stayed in DC for an extra day.



We flew out of Reagan National.  I've never been there.  Very cool architecture.
