The Main Event
Toledo, Ohio

Bands: Once A Hero, +12 more on 2 stages

Part 1 of our mega CD release day. We had a show at The Main Event in Toledo as a part of the Toledo Punks Showcase event prior to our CD release party. This was one of my favorite clubs that we have played. There was a really good sized crowd at the event as well as a fairly good setup. There were two stages at this place, one in the pool table room and another on the other side of the club. We even had a substantial backstage area for our gear, which is always nice.
This was our first time playing out to support our new CD, so I was holding my breath to see how well recieved we would be on our new material. Our set consisted of pretty much all new material written this past fall and winter with a few oldies thrown in. We also managed to sell a few CD's after our set, which is flattering since this is the first time we've played in toledo.
Yeah...I'm not really sure why we have so many pictures of middle fingers, it must be an indie thing or something...whatever. Alex expresses his true feelings about me.
After the set we packed up our gear and loaded up to head back to Ann Arbor for our official CD RELEASE BASH! To be continued...
