Today was a breath of fresh air. I went to the city with Ilya, Lance, and Ilya's friend, Jenn. We went to the sidewalk cafe. Apparently it's the longest running open stage in the city. Regina Spektor started out there. I can't believe I got to touch a piano she played on many times... I can't describe how awesome this day was. It was so good that I can only describe it as... uplifting. It really brought me up.It was an antifolk joint so I had no reservations and didn't care about how I sounded. So I took more risks but confidently. I've never felt so happy on stage before. I didn't feel nervous at all. Shit. Definitely one of the funnest places I've been to. I've got to go there again sometime. I like experimenting. But every place I've been to says I should have more structure and be more like everyone else. But here the crazier and weirder you are, the more they like you. This was the first big place where the host asked me to come back. After I finished my set, so many people in the audience were just smiling and nodding as i walked by. That body language of "you did good kid" haha. A really good way to end this year. Looking forward to 2010. Oh just checked my grades for this semester too. Straight A's!! Not even an A-!! First time in a long long time. um. Oh and... I finally came up with my stagename tonight. I even went by it at sidewalk. "Chivalry The Zombie" because chivalry is dead. But I'm still chivalrous.
