Blue Door
Oklahoma City, OK

Don't judge this by the first song. There were problems with the sound system that were quickly fixed.

Note: The Blue Door is a great venue and quite small. You can bring your own cooler and drink beer or whatever you like.
I was back about 15 rows on the right side. I went to this, my first show at the Blue Door, with my good friend Dana. I
didn't attempt to get permissioon to record. In stealth mode with the venue and crowd so small, I wasn't watching my deck
like I normally would. I'm positive there was one and maybe two more songs after my tape ran out. Great show and no regrets.
Slaid noticed my Fred Eaglesmith bumper sticker and played a Fred song. I ended up attending the Fred show there the
next month (3/17/2002) and was allowed to set up mic stand and full rig. The following year in 2003 I took my daughter and
met three taper friends at the Woody Guthrie Memorial Folk Festival Slaid mentions, in Okema, OK. The line up included
Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Pete Seger and Arlo Guthrie to name just a few. The pic on the cover is what it looked like at this show.
The pic on the back is what it looks like today. It's definately in the ghetto but I've never had any problems. Great venue.
