We're on a roll now. We did our second gig on Saturday at our company picnic. Had about 200 people there in the park on a beautiful afternoon. This was a tricky one because we had to run off generators. Did some research on the net which mainly helped me barely understand the 100 or so things that could go wrong, including things we really wanted to avoid, like electrocution.

We had really good sound and no feedback issues at all for the nearly two hours we played, until the very last song. For some reason it decided to go nuts then. Fortunately we were shutting down anyway so we just pulled the plugs, literally, a little early. No idea why it would be fine for so long and then feedback like that, but since that was the only thing that went wrong, we all counted our blessings.

We had a blast again and really felt more comfortable this time.
