i wasn't going to write a blog regarding the blu-ray audition. i still really don't want to.
i will say this much, it was nice to have seen a lot of familiar faces and meet some new ones.
shaved my moustache for the thing. first time i've seen that patch above my upper lip since '93.
not getting the call hurt.
a lot.
being at the show after not getting the call was also a BAD idea. totally not where i wanted to be or should have been.
i'm not really looking forward to this weekend's shows now either. whatever passion i had for performing in Rocky Horror is all but gone.
at least one good thing has come along. monday night i went to see the band Far.
i've seen their singer Jonah a gazillion times in a gazillion guises, but never thought i'd ever have the chance to see Far considering they broke up in '98/'99.
last fall, they had a mini reunion and recorded a new song (a cover of Pony by Ginuwine). they're officially back together and doing a small venue tour before their NEW album comes out!!!!
onstage, Jonah's one of the happiest, smiley-est people you'd ever see, but i've never seen him beam like i did at this show. they played nearly every song i've ever wanted them to play (i'm not complaining they didn't play Punchdrunk since they had it on their setlist and replaced it with All Go Down!).
so worth the 10/11 year wait to see them.
and if you're going to comment on this blog, if you want to talk about the audition, please don't. talk about Far instead :)
trying and failing,
jonah,
