I'm way too tired to be doing this right now... but if I don't write it now, I might forget something...
Picture this- me driving the Land Shark backwards down Clinton street trying to avoid oncoming Williamsburg Bridge traffic, then backing over and subsequently smashing a bottle of some sort, just to pull up on the sidewalk so the honking cars could make it past and stop being so angry with me. Sick.
First of all- congratulations again to Ms. Stephanie Hooker for getting married! She is an amazing woman and we wish her all the happiness in the world. :) And thank you to her for inviting us to be part of such an amazing event. This woman throws a mean fucking party! Tonight we were on with Cori Yarckin, Stephanie and the Ghost Town, and The 80's Ladies. I love Stephanie and the Ghost Town, and anyone who hasn't checked them out, totally should. Word. The 80's Ladies- DUDE! Sick 80's cover band! I was so tired and feeling so crappy, and I just couldn't help dancing. I couldn't help it! I went downstairs to get my water and spent the next 25 minutes in ecstasy. Saysha and I scared everyone off the dance floor, her with her leg kicks, and me with my head thrashing, and Frankie wouldn't stop yelling, "Free Bird!" :) He's so cute.
Sean of Nefarious Bovine Radio stopped by to say hi. Dude, this guy is awesome. If you haven't heard his radio show yet, you totally should. It's sick! In a good way. :) In a perfect "sit at home and listen to music because that's what we like to do" kind-of way. Awesome. Not only was he was nice enough to let me talk him into lugging half our gear 4 blocks from our rehearsal space to the club, (Ha ha! Sucker. :) Nah- I'm just kidding, thank you again, that was really sweet of you to offer,) but he also single handedly built a guitar stand with no instructions or coaching. This man is a genius!
But yes, the show. I got really sick this weekend (and am still pretty under the weather), and my voice sounds pretty shitty, so that was fun. In fact, we didn't even rehearse before this show because I just couldn't, so we just sort-of wung it. (Wung? Who the fuck uses the past tense of the word "wing"? That's just wrong...) I think I started having to blow my nose after the third song, so anyone who noticed the profuse sniffling throughout the entire last half of the show, sorry about that. :)
I think it went really well though, right? No tuner mishaps, no amps breaking, no guitars catching on fire (although that would have been pretty cool.) I thought it was fun anyway. Even though I felt like I was going to pass out and die when we were done. :) Did it show? Could you tell?
Ok, now I'm going to bed because I can't keep my make-up stained eyes open anymore. I love you all and thank you for coming and starting this journey with us. We don't know where we're going or how we're getting there, but we're certainly having a good time doing it and hope you are too. :)
Set List:
-Without You
-This Happens
-Don't Look Back
-Stuck in My Head (oops.)
-Six Degrees
