06.07.06 Wintersleep

Interesting day to say the least. Didn't even know if I was going to film today, but brought a cam anyway. Ends up, I was able to film at the commodore... Got there at doors. Thought I was lucky to find a broker selling for 20, but in my fervor for a good deal forgot to check the guestlist - oops. Met Jud and chatted for a bit. Found out that they're planning to do some West coast festival type shows in Vancouver with.... Metric. Also, their first cd is sold out, but will probably be repressed. I was told the pressing was 5000 or so. Also told that I won't have to pay for Wintersleep shows anymore. SCORE! Then went with Jud to the production office area?. Was finally told the reason why only 1 cams are allowed in HOB places. Apparently when 2 cams come into play insurance /liability? has to be taken out. Interesting... Was actually told to sign a waiver this time and then given a Video pass. Hammered out some fine details and then went ahead. Big thanks to the (production?) lady who was doing all the work (sorry I forgot your name). Was organized and professional.

Set was pretty good. Had never seen Wintersleep do such a short set before. Didn't think they would play Archaeologists and really didn't think that they would play it mid set. Good showing. Interesting mix of songs. Small crowd of people seemed to be into it. Didn't stick around for the other two bands. Pilate and People on planes. Mike was absent for the show; touring with Holy Fuck I think. John Samuel (I think) who's from Contrived took his place. Which is fine, he's been doing one of the verses on (Weighty) Ghost for a while now.

Setlist
Oh Moon and the Shiny Tambourine
Jaws of Life
Archaeologists(sp?)

$10/$20. This night would've been so much better if I had checked guestlist. Again big thanks to Jud and Wintersleep.
