the show last night turned out amazingly well. i was hella nervous for quite awhile because i was convinced that i had done a disasterous job setting up the show [not to mention the whole "show getting double booked" fiasco]. but i was so excited to see an entire room full of kids and rather pleased that the blue hour walked away with about a hundred dollars in donations alone, in addition to the considerable amount of merch that they were able to sell. they had seemed somewhat skeptical about how the show would be received, but i think they were rather enthused by the end of the night. nice people. i hope they stay in touch, because i'd love to get them here again.
more than anything, i was taken by now much promise there really is in a handful of kids who are so passionate and dedicated to making something beautiful [art, music, what have you]. you really can't fathom that sort of emotion until you're hugging your friends with all of your strength and singing at the top of your lungs. watching die emperor die sell twenty-seven demos that had been hand-assembled by friends was incredible. completely losing my shit during their set and crying on the shoulder of someone that i love was even more incredible.
ps. sorry the cake tasted like shit. but the cookies were decent, maybe?
