Shake The Disease...And Your Ass
"Been a long time since I rock n' rolled."
That was pretty much my worry last night before actually taking the stage at Club Pulse. In three months, I hadn't had one decent practice, either with the band, or on my own. Such a defeciency in the honing of your craft is bound to have a negative effect on your confidence (they say that every time the Who took a break between playing, Keith Moon would completely forget how to play the drums, and would have to re-teach himself...I dunno if it's true, but it makes for a great bit of Rock Mythos).
But nonetheless, rock n' roll, we did. And it was...satisfying.
Our playing wasn't nearly as tight as it could've been (I for one was on 4 hours of sleep, and exhausted). But there was a definite energy, and the quality of the songs really shone through. And the people dug it. Which is really the most important thing.
Well..that, and all the fine rock sluts...! :P :)
...
God, I have some really nice friends. Friends who drive 30 miles on a weeknight and pay $5 to stand around until their friend's band comes on, and then
watch the show for 30 minutes. Time after time. If anyone who fits the preceeding description reads, I just want you to know that I LOVE YOU, and I truly appreciate all of the support. THANK YOU!!!

Tonight, I think I might actually stay home, play me some "Simpsons Hit & Run" on the Gamecube, and just RELAX...man, that sounds nice...
