The nights are definitely getting colder! We played an outdoor show last weekend and got a pretty brutal reminder about just how cold it can get with winter fast approaching! The low temperature that night was 45°, but it felt colder than that. Regardless of the cold, it was a really fun night!
We had the opportunity to give away some of our new merch; Patch of Gravity beanies! As you can probably imagine, they were a huge success (thanks to Mike for the idea)! Warm ears are usually happy ears, and we certainly warmed up more than a few sets of ears...
​We typically give out a lot of merch at our shows; ball caps, drink coozies, t-shirts, coffee mugs, hot/cold tumblers, totes, stickers, magnets, and now beanies! But you have to come to one of our shows if you want to get your hands on any of this stuff.
Stay toasty. Support local live music.

Mankind has struggled for decades for victory over technology. From "where's the 'any' key?" to "what's the IP address of my router?" to changing your 30-character password every 120 days, I've come to realize that technology is rarely, if ever, 'user-friendly.'
I've been fighting for months over music technology. The wireless systems we use for our guitars are constantly either the cause of, or the victims of, signal interference. Our digital mixer's built-in wifi consistently loses signal. The separate router we use for redundancy doesn't always provide that redundancy. I have to admit that a lot of times, I've wanted to throw it all out the window and start from scratch. But after a while, my inner nerd decides to give it another try.
We've made a few changes to our equipment, and hopefully that'll push us across the goal line in our current tech battle. Right now, I'm cautiously optimistic. The real test will be next week when we play at Teakwoods.
But technology is an enemy that never sleeps. There will certainly be more fighting, and more chasing after solutions. Sometimes I feel like that coyote trying to catch the roadrunner, never knowing whether a safe is gonna fall on me...
For now though, I'll just enjoy this win.
