No real PA. Keys and bassist have small amps, so maybe there won't
be line outs.


Good, then that error is avoided.


Well, that's debatable depending on the situation, but in this
case they did have lineouts, and I used them for bass and keys.

Vocalist also singing through small amp.


Mostly bad since it may not sound very good. Does it have an insert where
you can get the mic signal without having to either split the mic or
double-mic?


I was mistaken, he had a PA, but the outputs were only
RCA, and I didn't bring any RCA cables. Next time.



Sort of a high ceiling restaurant/bar. Tile floors? Or perhaps
linoleum.


Will there be audience or is this off-hours?


There was an audience. Tile and wood floor.

Uhhh....if you bring your headphones, don't forget
the 1/8th to 1/4" adaptor, and please bring the
CORRECT AC adaptor for the laptop you will be using....

Damn embarrassing to have to drive back home and miss the
first hour.
