Yesterday evening's rehearsal session with
Mariae Nascenti turned out to be quite useful and satisfying: I was not in the mood for playing -I still had flu-... add a sudden phone call from
lucylle regarding the complete disintegration of any plan for our new year's eve's party, and you will easily understand how much I was nervous and upset. But in the end this happened to be a good drive, letting me deliver more and more white noise from my gears... I barely spoke to the other guys, and I supposed I didn't appear as the nicest person on earth, but at least rehearsals were a success.
