10.06, Philadelphia: First show...
Update, coming to you at Seez Mic's crib, just a short drive from D.C...
We left Charlotte for Philadelphia at around 7 in the AM, and almost immediately Scott got hit with a speeding ticket like BLOOSH. Awesome. Here's Blake chilling in the car while the citation was being issued. If you look carefully you can see Superman zipping by right outside our window.
Things went smoothly until we hit CRAZY traffic outside of Philly and our 8-hour trip turned into a 12-hour venture. We got to the North Star Bar right at 7, and chilled for a bit while waiting for our soundman. The show itself went off well, despite an under-promoted billing and a scant crowd. The venue itself was dope - a cozy, well-designed bar next door to a full-size concert partition with a raised stage and mezzanine. The pic below is the view from the stage... beautiful.
Soul Rebel, Icon the Mic King, Mr. I and One-Self rocked just the same, playing to a crowd of 15 like they were 150 strong. Some local Phillies talked to us after the show and gave us props, assuring us that the exceptionally-thin crowd was partly due to the rain. So hopefully it will get better. Justin looks optimistic:
Tonight's show goes down at the Rock and Roll Hotel here in D.C.... expect an update soon!
