today we played a fun show in Tulsa, OK at another Acquire The Fire event. we got about 4 hours of sleep before our 7:00am sound check. this ATF was different because it wasn't us playing in some big arena with more reverb that yelling into a mile long tunnel. it was different because we were playing in an arena that didn't sound like an arena. i'm not sure what the heck they did at Oral Roberts University when they built that place, but it's probably the best sounding arena i've played in.
judging from the architecture of the university and a quick google search, most of the buildings seem to have been built in the 60's or 70's. and historically, that was typically long before architects gave a second thought to acoustics when designing arenas. so whether it was an architect ahead of his time, or some sort of acoustic treatment retrofit, well done ORU.
but on the other hand, there's this:
here's a piece of advice to anyone from ORU who might read this:
whenever you're designing any sort of sign or literature touting your high-class academics, make sure you spell all your words right.
ok, that's all for now. i need to go upload this to failblog.org
