Whiffle. (Boston, Massachusetts)
Score of the first annual SoundRabbit whiffle whammy tourney… Jason/Beers 11… Russ/Fred (crew) 9. That’s right, Jay and Beers killed us with a late-inning pop fly that I tried to catch behind my back for style points. Ghost runner scored and we were done. I hate losing, but at least we went down in style. Showering and heading to New York City in an hour or so…
Tuesday, April 22nd – 3:25am Boston, MA time
About to hit the rack… enjoyed the Middle East set tonight, though I (russ) had some major problems with my monitor setup, so I wasn’t able to use our usual “in ear” system. The result was not hearing myself half the night, and playing with different ‘hearing’ than the other guys… so it was strange. Just listened to the recording that we got of the night, and the lack of monitors is pretty clear on a few of the tunes. Good lord. There are a couple of notes on Relief that are sung literally in a completely different key. Ouch. Oh, well… some day we’ll be able to afford our own sound person, and we’ll love every minute of it. Overall, though… decent show. Here’s the setlist:

In a few hours, we’re getting up and meeting outside for a 2-on-2 whiffle ball game. This Inn we’re staying at is AMAZING. Here are some pics from the property… and we’ve got it to ourselves (literally):
