Did we pass the audition?

Last Tuesday we trekked up to the beautiful Skamania Lodge to be a "featured band" for the Oregon Events Association. It was a 4-day convention for the association, and we were one of three bands featured. Granted, it was the last day of the convention, so most of the attendees had gone home, but we had a nice audience of about 50 people who were there from all over the U.S., and were well received. Our new keyboardist, Nathan Olsen, did a fine job with very little preparation. He seems to fit right in.

The food spread was nice, catered with a Mexican food theme. Although the coveted slot of "featured band" is usually a freebie, the food made up for it--gas money, anyway. They gave Eddy $100, which he applied toward "expenses." Eddy's really gone the extra mile pulling money out of his own pocket to set these kinds of opportunities up for the band, so we didn't question it...
