Bad news and good news. I no longer have a job at the bar. Brad tells me that Linda had them very overstaffed and that a few people were getting cut. As the new guy, I'd be one of the first to go anyway, regardless of personal differences. I resume the job hunt probably Wednesday.
Good news, the gig is on. I have a guaranteed crowd of 40 people who I know have money. I'll be working for tips, seeing as I wasn't formally booked and the person who informally booked me was also fired. I'll be going on at 10 PM and going until I'm kicked off the stage, then after that might end up playing a brief hotel room gig for these people depending how much money I've made.
So, 10:00 tonight at the cellar. Bring lots of friends to help me prove that I can draw a substantial crowd. It's the caveman in me coming out. You want intimidating and threatening? suck it. I'll be playing some fast, hard, testosterone laden blues and funk, as well as a repetoire of covers to try and make money, plus all my original works as well. Who knows, maybe if the boss sees what it looks like when I actually AM engaging in male posturing, he'll realize that I'm just like that and I can get my job back. It will be a fun show
but of course, if I'm going to pull that off, nothing to the barstaff about me being cut over testosterone differences. If you've got to say something about me say I RAWK or something. I dunno.
