My best friend happens to live in Northampton. We went to school together and I love him so so so much. So playing this show was the biggest treat for me, not only because I got to meet so many cool and awesome people, but also because I got to hang out with Kristepher. We had lunch together and I got to see his new place (very nice!) and the rest of the day I spent practicing, trying to get ready, and hanging out at The Raven working on Johnny John's new scarf. (That is such a sad story, but he's such a good sport for being so positive about it.) Chris and John from Boston met us there around closing time and Chris had me cracking up because he said, "Yes, I'm the dork wearing the Stewart shirt to the Stewart show and I don't care." He's ALWAYS the one wearing the Stewart shirt to the Stewart show, and I love him for it!!!
After hanging out at The Raven I went to the Grille and met the gang. Mark who organized the event was SO nice! Him and the owner had dinner for everyone before hand so we can all get to know each other, and even though I missed out on the grub, the other bands were just so super- Curious Buddies (who I happen to LOVE,) Finn Riggins (so talented, so hip, so worth checking out,) and Rotary Club (more Brooklyn-ites! Small world!) I helped hall in the gear considering all I had was a gear bag and a guitar. Everone was nice enough to let little ol' me open, which was awesome, because I can't imagine having to follow Finn Riggins. Seriously.
So I got up there with my mic and my guitar and my lack of stage and sang my little heart out. About halfway through I pressed a button on my portable CD player and out came drums through the speakers. Rah! It was a little rough at first (thank you guys for laughing and being sweet and supportive and playing along! *smile*) but after the first song it sorted itself out. I finished up with Try So Hard, which was fun because we haven't played that in a while. Mark was nice enough to post Falling Stars on our comments if you'd like to see. I thought it was great! I had so much fun and thank you everybody for all your support and encouragement and thank you to my new friends for being so sweet and my old friends for being so wonderful. I truly had the best night I've had in a million years and it's all because of you.
Set List:
-Six Degrees
-Leave Me Here
-Who We Are (Kristepher's favorite)
-Don't Know Why
(with drums)
-Not That Bad
-Without You
-Don't Look Back
-Falling Stars
-Guiltless
-Try So Hard
