It all started around 645am with a trip to Bakesale Betty's on the way to the airport. Mmm scones beat the early morning blues everytime :)
After an impromptu rehearsal at the gate (much to the other passengers' enjoyment) and 90 minutes worth of baby screams on the flight (much to everyone's extreme un-enjoyment), we arrived in VEGAS!!
Quick recap: Paradigm Speakers asked us to play a private event they were hosting at CES (Consumer Electronics Show). It was a rough year for most businesses, only a few companies hosted live shows this year, but Paradigm values music so much that putting together an event like this was a very high priority for them. We were so fortunate to be in contact with them, having used their products to create the "Heartforward" record.
Back to the story: Paradigm had sent limos to pick us up from the Vegas airport (!!) so Em, Drea and I took one limo over to the Venetian to get our hair and make-up done in a Paradigm suite on the 30th floor.
After checking out the Paradigm Booth (They were blasting my new cd through their gorgeous speakers all weekend!) the boys met up with us for a little room service before mic check.
There were colored light sets on either side of the stage, washing us over in alternating colors while we played each song. Can't wait to see the video of it.
So yeah it was just awe-some. Everyone said incredibly great things about the show afterward. Canadians especially seem to dig the folk/pop stuff :) I admire a lot of Canadian musicians, so I'll take that as a big compliment.
Of course, after a hard day at the office, we took the rest of the weekend to relax... and by relax I mean hit the clubs, gamble and smoke cigars. Thank you, Las Vegas!
