Lantern Festival, Jamaica Pond

10/21/2012

Attending:  Victor, Brad, Glenn, Chris

Brad and Victor arrive early at the pond, around 5:30pm, to set the space, which involves lighting a small area with soda-bottle lanterns (decorated by local kids) hung from poles of bamboo, as well as arranging in a semi-circle with small amps.  Chris and Glenn arrive at about the same time, a little after 6pm.  A bit of warming up, and we unofficially begin with an improv that emerges out of a tuning and soundcheck.

No clue as to what a setlist may have looked like; we mostly just play what came to mind.  Some pieces got several runs (Overworld II, for instance), and some only one or two.  Generally, the audiences that stop to watch are very supportive.

After a couple of hours, we call it a night.  Some clean-up, and there is a general agreement of grabbing dinner afterwards.  All is finished around 8:20 or so.
