Nov. 27th, 2011 12:53 amJust got back from Harrisburg. It was an interesting trip. The drive was weird because I'm so used to going on main roads like I-95 and such that going on all these two lane back roads was kind of weird. Though, there were parts, especially from Lancaster on that were freeways.
Common Rotation played in the Midtown Scholar bookstore - which is in downtown Harrisburg. It's an actual bookshop/cafe that also has a stage and regularly has indie performances and it's a neat little place. They played with two other acts - Anti Cool, a musical comedy duo, and Mr. Fuzzy and the Barbarian, another folk group (which was a fun band because they had an upright bass, a ukelele, and a washtub bass).
At the end, when they came back to do an encore, people were yelling songs to them and I yelled "Everything Under the Sun". (Yelled-ish - I was sitting in the front row.) They were considering all of them and asked how far I'd driven and I said two hours and they played my song. :-D Afterwards I got to talk to Adam and Eric a bit (Jordan was manning the merch table). And I think I had the longest conversation I've ever had with Eric. Adam and Eric both gave me hugs again - Eric even running around to give it to me. (I happened to be standing next to Adam when I got the two from him.)
So - lots of fun, and I'm excited to listen to their new cd. :-D And I need a Common Rotation icon.
