"now my door stands open, i'm inviting everyone in, we're gunna laugh, we're gunna drink...
UNTIL THE MORING COMES.
Friday I played my first show, well, it was an open mic but i was the only person there... me and the people i brought. There were two old people reading poetry, who totally cut me off and took the stage since I brought in a good 15 or so people. Guess they saw their chance to read to humans that weren't each other, but when everyone went outside while they read, they started asking me to play again. The whole thing wasn't about doing anything more then proving to myself I'm serious about wanting to do this and moving out of playing at a place that's comfortable (like my bedroom or friends houses). I almost had a show at the HoneyBeeHive on Saturday, but i was last minute, and had to work. If it comes along again, I'll do everything in my power to do it.
After the show we all come back to my house, drank, and spontaniously worked on a song together. Ten people playing music, writting lyrics, singing together. It was amazing to me that all these people who usually sit around all came together to express themselves. I hope it wasn't a fluke and more things like that will happen.
SO much more to talk about... but I don't really want to, i do, but i dont know what to say about it yet. I'm thinking i'm placing far too much signifigance on it. I hate to be this doubtful but I cant set myself up for disappointment anymore. It did come out of no where, i didn't expect it, and it wasn't weird later. In anycase, i'm reluctantly happy... i hope i can lose my reservations and trust it.
