World Racketeering Squad, live at Conan's Pizza!

World Racketeering Squad had its second gig tonight, an open mic at Conan's Pizza, of all places. It was a very genial place with a crowd of enthusiastic regulars.

The stage setup was odd, as it was all on an enclosed riser meant to hold a couple of seats, with elaborate wooden banisters and columns that blocked the view from all but a few angles. Plus the columns were draped with leafy plants.

On the plus side, that cramped little riser was stocked! It had a drum kit, a keyboard, a bongo, a guitar and plenty of mics. This is an open mic that even provides instruments!

We played with "Negra", my black Epi Les Paul, and my little Kustom amp, which always seems to find admirers at shows. It's a cute little amp, I guess!

The show was pretty rough, as we were playing some songs we haven't really done before--"Feel so lost" and "5017". When we get those tightened up, they're gonna rock a lot more!

But overall it was super fun and I can't wait to do it again.

Oh, and we're playing the open mic at Trophy's tomorrow night.
