So ALOAO played Eric Freidmans party tontie and it went fairly well, there were good parts and bad......
We played fucking solid! Ryan was working the crowd a lot with passion and motivation and I love to see that! He introduced us as a band and we played a really great show. We did some improvisational jams and solos as well as playing our originals with the best of our ability and they turned out great. I unvieled the DIME guitar that has been in the repair shop and reitired for while till I could afford to fix it. Jesse, Adam, Evan, and I meshed very well with improvisational stuff. And Finally.......OUR GEAR SOUNDED GOOD!!!!
Ofcourse there are alwasy some bad points and fuck ill say them......
The crowd wasnt worth hauling all our shit there for 3 people to care that we were actually playing. We would end a song and not even hear a courtesy clap from the majority of the crowd. It pissed me off! It was a major killer of confidence. We would play a song wicked good then we would get two claps and a random WOO HOO! from the people lounging in the pool. I knew nobody there except our band, Eric, Alan I think was there not sure but if he was I knew him too, thats about it. I mean given it was a place of exposure and to show off our music and that was cool btu fuck give us something in return a nice clap would be good. Maybe im being to greedy or whatever oh well.
But besides band news.....
I met this girl Jess a few weeks ago with my good buddy Dan. Shes cool shit and I really like her a lot. I know this whole Kristin thing has just happened recently but it has been in the making for quite sometime now so I have been looking around a bit. I went to Baskins with Dan and she was with him and ever since Ive been hooked on her. I didnt think anyone could catch my eye as quickly and as asily as she did. She is a very very cool girl to hang around with, joke with, be with everything. I think she might think im moving too fast but Fuck! This girl is the shits! I just wish I knew if she felt the same way or not. Im pissed because she came to the party with me tonite and when I done playing I was planning on hanging with her all night and chill and talk and get to know her in person rather than on the phone like we usually do. Then Dan wants to leave early so I was kinda dragged into leaving early as well. I never really got a chance to hang with her one on one or anything as much as Id like to. Fuck!!! I think I made her feel like an outcast by inviting her over to see me then me playing the whole time. I keep kicking myself for that! I gotta play it cool and be myslef around her I dont want to come off as something Im not. I dont wanna lose her but again I dont want to seem like im over impressing her I guess is the words to use.....oh well I got shit to think about...I hope this works out.
Peace,
AL
P.S. this wasnt diss to Eric Freidamn or anything hes cool shit, and I appreciate the opportunity to play. No jokes Thanks man if you ever see this.......
