Going to the Gig
Many people assume, since Sew What? and Rent What? provide custom stage drapes, digitally printed backdrops, and other soft goods to so many artists and bands, that we are constantly going to rock shows. That isn’t the case – if we were spending all of our time going to rock shows, we’d never be able to provide our customers with the high level of service that they expect and deserve.
Occasionally, though, we do make it to a show (I’ve been to Aerosmith/Lenny Kravitz and Van Halen), and it is always a blast. Even more exciting for me than seeing a major headliner, though, is seeing my friends and colleagues perform. I was privileged to do just that about a week ago, when Without Warning performed at Nick’s Taste of Texas in Covina.
It was a terrific intimate venue, a little “Texas Industrial Loft” in feel, with exposed ducting and brick walls. Several bands performed that night, but WW was the highlight for me. The band rocked hard for a full hour!
It was so much fun to see Megan, Bob, DC, David, and Doug perform. They are high energy, and that energy infuses the audience! I can’t wait to see them perform again.
