Twelve hours in Detroit
A first Movement booking, a broken flight case and an afternoon in a record shop that changed the second half of the tour.
The flight landed at eleven, the set was at nine, and the flight case arrived in Chicago. That is the whole story, except for the part in the middle.
The shop
Four hours in a basement on Woodward with a man who has opinions about every record printed in this city since 1987. Left with eleven records, six of which made it into the set that night and two of which are still in the bag a year later.
The set
Borrowed decks, a mixer with a dead channel three, and a crowd that did not care about any of it. Ninety minutes, and the first time a festival set felt like a club set.
Losing the gear removed the plan. The plan was the problem.
