Baby’s first Boiler Room, and it was a doozy! In September I traveled to DC to serve not just 1 but 2 queens @slayyyter and @msrebeccablack doing double duty as Tour Manager and FOH (quadruple duty? 🤔) for a double-header @boilerroomtv taping. The DC crowd turned out and the party had great old-school warehouse rave vibes. I was blessed with a kicking @dbaudiotechnik_gmbh KSL8 and B22 rig, but a terrible mix position and no tablet remote control for the console 😬. I was 20 feet from the subs, and not in the direct field of either the mains nor the rear stage fills. For the first 15 mins of Rebecca’s set I could get out in front of the mains, but after that it was too crowded. After the room was packed, I could get myself into the direct field of one of the rear stage point-source hangs without exiting the tech world, and I used that to reference that I had Slayyyter’s vocal appropriately balanced with the track. Fav moments include Slayyy dancing with a fan across the barricade during Rebecca’s set, @owenjacksonforever with the sickest flip to intro Purr, and RB with the fake-out of the night. Check the clips here.

Full videos are out today on YouTube. This was a super challenging day, but also a lot of fun. Big ups to the team, especially RB, Slayyy, Owen, @kcon101 @julietteontheinternet, and @boilerroomtv for the party and for preserving this for posterity on the internet.
