The CA Music Fest...

So, the music fest was this past 4th of July weekend, and we had a great time... considering :P

We had some technical difficulties before my first set at this pretty cool neo-soul bar called "Charline's" on the heart of the strip downtown. Apparently they don't have a cd player that links to their pa system, so they had to scurry for some sort of resolution before my time slot was up. It took'em 45m to find a laptop to allow my cd to play through the pa system and sound board. WTF man... you knew i was going to play here WEEEEEEKS ago, and didn't figure that stuff out until 45m AFTER my set was suppose to start... grrrrr. By the time they figured it out, more than half the crowd had left since they weren't playing any music in between the set change... so that made for a fun start of my routine, lol. It all ended up goin' ok though after i started. 10m into the set, people started to fill back in and actually dug what i was throwing at'em... i was surprised considering all the bands before me were funk & soul cover bands. *shrug*

The next night @ Nicholby's wasn't as rough on the technical side, but there was maybe 1/4 of the amount of people that were at Charline's the night before... so yeah, not that big'a crowd. I still had fun rockin' it with the folks that decided to hangout though... met some cool people, ate some good food and overall had a pretty easy weekend.

Oh, and i got sunburned like a mofo... smh.

PA systems with a larger number of speakers are widely used in institutional and commercial buildings, to read announcements or declare states of emergency. The simplest PA systems consist of a microphone, a modestly-powered mixer amplifier and one or more loudspeakers.There are four Types of PA System: Small Systems, Telephone paging system,PA over IP,Long line PA.
