Went a bit further for this week’s gig. Honestly it was more of a mini-tour than anything. Took a private plane (courtesy Biotechnica, thanks Grim ;) ) all the way to Houston, Texas; the Lone Star Republic.
I guess I never paid much attention to the Republic at all since I assumed it was a wasteland full of loonies doing whatever they wanted swinging their guns around like it was nothing. Then I realized that it’s the exact same where I live so I put it behind me.
The place is actually beautiful. I mean it averaged at or over 100 degrees but honestly what would you expect would happen to an already hot place + global warming. Eh, I’m used to it.
Anyways I performed at 2 pretty well known clubs in the area and holy shit were these people nice. Some of the most polite people I’ve ever met. You could imagine my surprise when I had expected to see insane gun freaks like how the Mediacorps portray this place. It was actually really refreshing.
On my final night (it was tonight, writing this on the redeye home) I actually performed at a pretty large and semi-important club. I think it’s actually the biggest place I’ve performed at yet: “The El Dorado.” It was a massive club with probably a couple thousand people on multiple floors of the building. I mean I couldn’t really tell if they were listening to me with everything going on but I sure as hell knew they could hear me because the sound system there was a beast. Possibly the greatest day of my life.
Moral of the story is that Texas rocks and I’m definitely going back soon.
See you all soon back in Night City.
