After leaving the Santa Cruz American Music Festival I drove back to the place I was
staying, dropped off my car, changed clothes and batteries. My this point it was after
8PM. I figured music at 9 and Steel Pulse at midnight like last year. I didn't feel
like I needed to hurry so walked the half mile to the Catalyst and grabbed a slice of
pizza at the Catalyst outside (every time I get a slice I realize it is the worst pizza
around) and walked through security. It is about 8:3o when I got in and a band was
playing. I thought, shit I need to hurry and get gear on and quickly got rolling. The
first band Tatanka from Colorado was pretty good but only got the last three songs.
After a break I figured there would be another opener.

Around 9:30 Steel Pulse comes out which seemed surprising. The set list was very
interesting with many songs I had not heard live. After a little more than an hour
they finished the set. I was very surprised and wondering if they were doing two sets.
The encore was 4 songs including a new song that was appropriate for the times and show
was over by 11. It was earlier than expected but no desire to drink at the Catalyst
since the recoreding wasn't mine until I left the venue. I got outside and put
headphones on and heard distortion. I knew the levels were hot and was disappointed.
Finally I sat down and realized the headphone jack on my recording was starting to go
bad. Once I played with the connector I was happy with the results. The night ended
up being a late one despite the earlly ending of the show.
