Today marks a momentous occasion: it has been four years since The Happy Out’s current incarnation played together for the first time! Our first performance for the new version of the band was at The Black Potion, a similarly new board gaming tavern that was also getting started around the same time. Big thanks to Enrique for letting us stage our debut there and drown out the sound of rolling D20s in the main room for a bit! (I think we’ve still got that banner tucked away somewhere!)
We had a great time playing together publicly for the first time, and were abuzz with excitement as we parted ways after the show.
As Klaus drove away, he saw this over the site of our debut. It was surely a sign that the luck of the Irish would follow The Happy Out in the years to come. (Or that God would never destroy the band with a flood.)
