Tags: Time Out New York Kids, waterside plaza
We’d been looking forward to this gig for weeks, a chance to get back into Manhattan and rock a proper NYC crowd. And what a venue, a gorgeous patio overlooking the East River. Meanwhile, Time Out NY Kids and a bunch of other sites had listed tonight’s event as their Top Pick (apparently not much happens in town on Mondays).
So it was a real shame when the skies opened up and rained us out!
Waterside’s Community Affairs Director, Yenneca, was super-nice, helping us get parked and making sure we had all the tables and stuff we needed. She even provided a cooler full of ice and bottled water. Then as the skies darkened, she made sure that plastic tarps were available, and just in the nick of time! We were just about ready to sound-check but we found ourselves weatherproofing instead. Some of our stuff did get a little soaked but nothing was ruined. We’ll replace some guitar strings and drum heads and be ready to rock the gazebo at Church Square Park in Hoboken on Wednesday!
While we waited for a break in the precipitation, we captured some video of ourselves jumping in puddles, for use in a video for the song “Jump in a Puddle.” The image quality wasn’t great but maybe it’ll be good enough for YouTube…
Checking the weather
Huge props to everyone at Waterside Plaza, they made the experience fun for us despite the rain, and we’re eager to get back there and show ‘em our stuff.
