Holy cow! They've totally rearranged the layout of the Lava Lounge and
the new layout rooolz! I've always liked the sound and the ambience
of theis club, but now they've added an excellent stage and better
lighting to make it one of the coolest venues around.
One of the new features that's particularly well suited to Third Grade Teacher's performance is a ramp. Sabrina spent most of the show prowling, stalking, sashaying, crawling, meandering, and pacing up and down the ramp. The club was only about 1/3 full (weeknight show blues), but the ramp really allowed Sabrina to bring that energy right into the audience's face. They also have a nice drum riser in back, so the drummer doesn't get lost in the back of the room. Despite going on over an hour late, 3GT played a stellar set to those faithful fans (and a bunch of new fans) who stayed late enough to catch their act. At one point, someone threw some money on stage and I thought maybe they mistook this for the club that Sharon used to work at, but it turned out it was just the manager giving them their guarantee. I split time shooting video and pictures, so I've included some of Steve's pictures of the part of the show where I was shooting video. After the show, there were a bunch of people who had never seen 3GT before up lavishing the band with praise and asking where their next gig was, so once again, the Teacher's show has made a bunch more 3GT junkies.
