Anybody ever play in a shipping container?

[Reedt2000]

No? Me either, until this morning

It's a slick idea, gives you a ton of space, packs up and can be taken wherever. This morning it was in front of a big sports complex who was throwing a bacon festival

 

[gln1955]

No, never did that, but never mind, tell us more about this bacon festival.

No, never did that, but never mind, tell us more about this bacon festival.

Pretty much just what it sounds like... a ton of food trucks with crap-tons of bacon on everything. Burgers which not only are topped with bacon but are made up of 50% ground bacon, cheese fries with 1/2 lb of bacon on em, footlong hot dogs wrapped in thick cut bacon and deep fried, and a ton of other artery-clogging deliciousness....

Bacon burger made from 50 percent ground bacon, GOOD LORD!

I would have played that gig just for some food truck tickets.

 

[micguy]

I’ve had burgers that were 50% bacon. Stunningly delicious. If you add cheese and some more bacon, yeah…

I have played in more than one storage container. They used to be popular "stages" at outdoor county fairs and various carnivals.

Luckily, most of ours had acoustic treatments. The ones that didn't were a sonic nightmare.

I sat in with a band at the cruise port in Limon, Costa Rica that was playing in a 20' shipping container

 

[J Wilson]

No. But where do I get tickets to next year's Bacon Festival? Hard reverb and greasy licks.

Our band is ampless and drums are electronic so thankfully the acoustics were not an issue.

"So, let me have a large order of the Bacon Wrapped Bacon Chunks on a Bed of Bacon Bits and the Candied Chocolate/Maple Glaze Bacon Strips for Dessert."

My kind of Gig!

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

How are the acoustics? I there reflection with the drums?

No amps and electronic drums so no problem for us

 

[Killing Floor]

No pics of the bacon?

 

[J Wilson]

A lot of times, I'd rather have a BLT on good bread with great tomato than a steak. Crazy, innit?

 

[Bunk McNulty]

No. But I have played in a Quonset Hut. Once. Never, ever again.

 

[Pings Bass]

I played a quonset VFW in rural Iowa in the 80s. That was not a fun gig in any way, and I'm pretty sure they didn't feed us anything, much less bacon.

I think my LDL cholesterol went up 30 points just reading this thread.

Nope, not at all. And if ya add a little turkey to make it a "club", that works as good as steak to me, too. Good mayo helps.

Now I'm hungry.
