The show

The last time The Achievement played together was June 2009. Then on Tuesday we practiced our songs a couple times in a basement. So, it only made sense that the next thing we did would be a show in a giant theater on a huge stage in front of more than 400 people.

In the lobby, there are framed black and white photos of artists who have played the Boulder Theatre. BB King. Public Enemy. Mike Watt. It was all a little intimidating.

But whatever. We had a blast. Once we started, it was just like any Achievement show. A short set with a couple false starts, a forgotten note or two, a couple jokes and good times.

The rest of the night was skate videos celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Meta Skateboards, then more bands: The Cold North, Black Sleep of Kali and Speedwolf.

Here’s some photos:
