World’s tiniest stage, or at least one of the tiniest I’ve ever had to play on. I can’t even reach my amp without squeezing around the bassist and holding my breath. That black box in the right rear corner? That’s their sound equipment. They ADDED that to the stage recently, because, apparently, there was too much room for things like humans in that corner. None of the guitarist’s gear is even on the stage at this point. I think we could have just built a drum riser by duct-taping our collected amplifiers and gear cases together, and then we could have all stood next to each other and played without moving anything besides our digits and/or lips.

I’m always grateful to have a place to play, but there’s almost no place to have a place here! Gah!
