hmm....
anyway, in my earlier post, i forgot to mention my other big thing on friday: playing at nathan hale. so thursday nite, josh calls me up and says the guitarist in his jewish rap group "GefiltOfficial" can't get out of school, and wants to know if i can fill in. i say yes, and we go to nathan hale from like 9-11:30, with rides from josh's mom. i met the rest of his band, and they were all super nice, they're all jewish, too. josh taught me the guitar part five minutes before we left for nathan hale. we showed up, and at first i thought someone was gonna kick my ass and take my guitar: giant gangsta kids, all wearing blue...ah, the sheltered private school life. anyway, i didn't have an amp so we had to borrow one, and set up the stuff during the pep rally while the wrestling team was performing. unfortunately, since they hadn't really set it up with the people running the sound beforehand, you couldn't really hear the two rappers or the trombone over the guitar, bass, and drums. there were probably, say, 500 kids there? the sound came out pretty crappy, but that doesn't matter because i'm not really in the band, and it was a good lesson in d.i.y. concerts...i suppose. good times.
