Basking in the afterglow

First, Riveter owes a giant THANK YOU to Madalyn Sklar and GoGirlsmusic.com for including us in their Saturday night showcase.
Like I've been saying over and over again, we had a great time. The crowd was great to us. We were treated wonderfully by Madalyn and the other GoGirls folks. The sound guy did a great job with a limited amount of equipment. The other bands were fun and friendly (for the most part).

The fact that the venue was off the beaten track and down a ways from the main portion of SXSW was actually better for us than if we'd been downtown because the people who were there, stayed there — instead of being lured off to another venue.

During the day Saturday, we would walk from venue to venue watching a band for a song or two and then moving on — because you never knew who was going to be playing just around the corner. With our venue on Saturday night, we had more of a captive audience — and what a great audience it was.

While we were playing, I kept having to pinch myself. I couldn't believe that we were playing in Austin during SXSW. Whoda thunk a little, girl band from western Colorado would be playing in such a place?

Check out what Laurena did with her jumpsuit. Geez, even in blue collar attire she's a fashionista! I'm so jealous of her natural style sense.
