This day in age we depend more and more on “robots” to make our lives better and easier. They have their purpose. For example, we have quite a few robots on tour with us (laptops, cell phones, GPS, pedal boards, cd burner and duplicator). All of these do great things... When they feel like it. If you were at the Houston show last Thursday or the Dallas show last Saturday, you were probably unfortunate enough to know exactly what i'm talking about.
The show in Houston was great and full of energy. Everything was going as planned the live recording was working just fine throughout the whole show. As soon as the performance was over, I tried to "finalize" the cd and for whatever reason the robot decided it didn't want to do that.
Similar happening in Dallas, but this time it was the duplicator instead of the burner. Yet, this was worse because I kept trying to get it to work over and over, but nothing. I knew it should've worked, but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't? I felt like the robot was laughing at me while everyone stood by patiently waiting. Paul announced to those waiting that it wasn't going to work and people could either get their money back, choose another disc or have us make copies and mail them later. About two minutes after this announcement was made, the damn thing started working. Sorry to all of you in Houston and Dallas who waited. I promise that i'll get my revenge and the robots will not win!
Friday was such a long day for us that I decided to give the ole' liver a break. One World Theater in Austin gave us Spaten Optimator so I ended up having a couple of those. The next night in Dallas we had a well deserved Belgian sampling that helped end that night on a better note.
List for Friday and Saturday:
- Spaten Optimator
- Terrapin Rye Pale Ale
- Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye
- Orval Trappist Ale
- Brouwerij De Block bvba "Satan Red"
- Brouwerij Lindemans Gueuze Cuvee Rene
