Mad Caddies - Hell's Kitchen - Tacoma, WA

I don't know why it took so long to see the Mad Caddies in concert, but it was worth the wait. They were one of the bands that I listened to a LOT when I was in that really impressionable stage of music discovery in college. My friend Lisa and I got to go see them live at an extremely small venue called Hell's Kitchen in Tacoma, WA.

I contend that there is no better way to enjoy one of your favorite bands then live at a venue so small you can smell them. They did not disappoint, they rocked the crowd like they were in an arena of 10,000 people. Words cannot explain the electricity that was flowing through the room.

I split my time between dancing/ruining my voice singing and taking photos. I was surprised to get a couple of good photos despite the dark room and raucous crowd around me. At one point I even lost my SB-600 flash on the floor when I jumped into the fray. I was able to recover the flash later, so all was OK.

After the show I was completely exhausted, and I might have caught the flu, but it was worth it 100 times over. You can see some of the photos I nabbed on my flickr photostream.
