TommyRude Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 So I'm at this wacky festival in Texas, a mix of things, saw one duo yesterday, really enjoyed it, called The Floozies. Very funky, super aggressive keyboard driving bass lines. Seems like most of the music is EDM, and it's goes all night, thankfully I have noise canceling headphones 😁. Tomorrow night Vulfpeck will be playing. Out of the 400 artists lineup, they are the only one I recognize. The festival attendees... boy oh boy oh boy. I guess in line with the theme of the festival, I've never seen so many moons. As for the eclipse itself, the forecast is not looking good, DANG!

MathOfInsects Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Is that the one outside Austin? We were going to go. Now I'm glad we didn't! Though my son is a certified Vulfpeck fan, so he'd have liked that part of it. Good luck and I hope it clears up for you. Quote Now out!

TommyRude Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Yes, outside Austin. The festival was canceled this morning due to the possibility of thunderstorms and lightning. So we got out of there, and began to chase patches of blue sky. Found a spot, the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express in Marble Falls TX 😁 Getting some good views!

Not happy to hear that it was a clusterF for you, but very glad I didn't drag the kids there, miss these two days of school, just to lie awake all night and then have the eclipse day cancelled.

Outkaster Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 We got clouds here, but it got really dark. It was freaky. All of upstate new york was in the path. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

We were in the path of totality on the 2017 eclipse, it really was an amazing experience. I sat this one out, but I did notice that, in the intro to their live radio coverage of the event. NPR used Genesis' Watcher of the Skies as backing music, definitely won points from me for that! 2 Quote Turn up the speaker Hop, flop, squawk It's a keeper -Captain Beefheart, Ice Cream for Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adan Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Totality and almost perfectly sunny skies in Central Vermont. There was about a 5% chance of us having weather like this, and we got it. This eclipse has changed my life: now, I just need to figure out how. 3 1 Quote Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old No7 Sunday night hotel gig was fine, but didn't feel all that different than a normal solo gig. Today though, we had a neighborhood block party of about 50 people, so I brought my battery-powered rig of Roland Go:Piano into Roland KC-220 and reprised the eclipse songs in the hour leading up to the event. Not a great sounding rig, but was able to spontaneously set it up within a few minutes of getting the notion to do so.

Tusker Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 We enjoyed a rather beautiful darkness in Southern New England. Somehow, I cannot think of eclipses without remembering Tintin. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threadslayer Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Well, that's a first for me. I'd never seen Tintin in anything but French. Quote Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoB3 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 We'd like to thank eclipses for supporting live music. (even though all that's required for these is a 2600 and an MS20 via Meris Polymoon and Di with xformer used tastefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, because watching the Moon cross paths with the Sun should make us reflect on how significant we humans are in the grand scheme of things. 😆 Quote Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
