Relax Lounge - 5/20/06 - Chambersburg, PA

A new place for the FLB. I know Ken and Chris were psyched about playing in Chambersburg since it was probably one of the few gigs we've had so far that required them to drive less than a half hour.

Relax is a small venue and there wasn't really a big dancing crowd (although there was a very much appreciated dancing minority), but there were a lot of good listeners. The Ken Deater fanclub was in the house, and apparently there was a Deater look-alike contest that we were all unaware of. I've never seen so many bald, shaved heads in my life.

The Relax staff was all very friendly and helpful (and many were easy on the eyes), and I met quite a few cool people that had a lot of kind things to say about the band. Overall, a pretty good gig.

After the show, the band rolled down the street to the local Denny's for some post-gig nourishment. A few Relax patrons and employees were a couple booths down, so we traded some late-night, alcohol-sponsored conversation. There was also a guy stumbling around our section of the restaurant who, from what I understand, was literally on crack. Welcome to the Cirque du Denny's.

By the time we left Denny's I think it was about 4:30A.M. The sun was coming up as I made my trek back home. I rolled into bed just shy of 6 A.M.
