Midwest Community Center - LaSalle, IL
Hey! Look who's back....it's the CruiseMachine CruiseNews blog!
Yeah, we've been pretty quiet for a long time...but we're about to kick into high gear!
Have you seen the CruiseMachine calendar lately?!?
Well, since we're playing all these new venues, I figured this would be a mighty fine place to let you all know how the shows went, the kind of crowd that was there, and all the other details you might want to know about these places and events.
The last show we did was way, way out in LaSalle, IL. Right close to Starved Rock actually.
Quite the road trip this was...and on a Friday night no less.
I gotta tell ya, the Midwest Community Center is one of the coolest little hide-away places! The dining room is way cool with groovy antique furniture and nick-knacks, a zebra hide on one wall, a very cool wood engraved ceiling, and a very nice 'bar' where you could get all kinds of non-alcoholic beverages.
They were serving up bar-b-que ribs the night we were there (a different entree is featured each Friday evening).
Right next door is a ten lane bowling alley. What a hoot! I wanted to get setup in time to bowl a game...oh well. Maybe next time. My son David (who also ran lights for us that night) was sure to get in more than his share of bowling! It's something us 'guys' do every so often on Sunday nights, you know, to bond.
Anyway, there was a birthday party in the bowling alley so the youngsters hung out over there. The crowd we played to was a bit older...well, I guess not so much compared to us...it was a good crowd. :-)
And we were very well received! They had an offering can up on the bar for anyone that wanted to give a little something to the band...and they were quite generous.
They also bought up the V8 CD's like I've never seen before!
Yep, it was a real blessing playing for the fine folks at the Midwest Community Center.
Stay tuned for more reviews coming soon.
