September 9th @ The Pussycat Lounge

This might not make any sense because it's 5 o'clock in the morning and way past my bedtime. So be it.

I've been wanting to do this show for a long time because I wanted to see what it felt like. I wanted to see how it was different and see how far we've come. The last time we played Pussycat was the first time we played ever, and it's so funny to think how much has changed since then and to see how those changes have manifested in the band and who we are and how far we've come.

I remembered getting lost last time- VERY lost. Pussycat is super easy to get to by subway, but a bitch by car. I remember driving around downtown with Joe in the rain listening to classic rock and driving forever and ever down countless one way streets all headed in the wrong direction. This time I only made one wrong turn. Progress.

I was the first one there. I unloaded, listened to Cementhead (who are awesome by the way, very poppy, but very cool,) and set up our most grandiose merch table yet. After them and before us was a solo artist by the name of "Tah phrum da bush" (Pronounced: "Tai from the bush." I think.) He was a free style artist with a DJ and lovely woman named Demo assisting him. This dude was amazing. Quite the show. I don't know what it is about strip clubs, but they bring out the potty mouths in people. :)

Speaking of which, Saysha and I wore as little as possible in honor of the occassion. Y'all missed quite the outfits if you weren't there. :) And afterwards John and Frankie went downstairs to check out the strip club, but came back in less than 20 minutes. I don't think they were impressed.

I really wasn't kidding when I said, "I forgot all our songs," right before we went on. :) I think most of the set went amazing and I think my mistakes were my favorite part. Right? I guarantee none of you will forget me forgetting all the words to For The Longest Time. Yet again. Seriously- next time, I'm fucking taping the fucking words to the fucking floor. Seriously. *grin*

I think this was probably the most fun I've ever had playing a show in my entire life. Just because. Having all of you there, seeing everybody having such a good time- it was amazing. This show and June 15th at the Continental, (the night we got our tatoos), those have been my two favorite shows yet. Thank you so much everyone for coming out and making all this possible. We really do love you!

I will post some pictures up here in a little bit. After I consult with the rest of the band as to what is appropriate and what's not. We had WAY too much fun with my digital camera after the show. WAY too much fun. :)

We're playing again Tuesday night at the Continental for one of their farewell shows. It's an early one, 8:30 PM, and we're only playing 5 songs, but it's still going to be fun. Come by and help us say good bye.
