Bad -- and good! We had the usual crop of studying Asians, and a few people just reading, but nobody particularly wanted to hear us play. SCP is usually that way, but this time even more so. We played to mostly dead silence. Maybe halfway through, some new people came in and clapped, quietly, but we never raised much attention. But...
Since we're trying to build a Live CD, the lack of (a) noise, and (b) need to "connect with the audience" allowed me to concentrate exclusively on getting the song played and sung correctly. I was even able to just stare at the chord sheets, rather than trying to look up, as I usually do, and lose my place and screw up, as I usually do. My voice was in fine form, and I played pretty well. Warren seemed to be doing good work as well.
So, we were able to collect a *lot* of "good takes" of songs. Enough to build the Live CD from this performance alone, though there are a few songs that I'd like to have on the disc that we either didn't do, or that I screwed up. We play again this Friday (in Costa Mesa), and I'm hoping to fill those gaps, and get this Live CD project done.
