Tonight we got our second last rehearsal under our belt. One more rehearsal tomorrow and then Wednesday night off to ponder life... Watch Goonies... Not think about stuff... Clean my house perhaps...
Who am I Kidding, I will be ALL OVER my lyric charts... Making new ones, seeing what kind of cheater notes i can come up with. I really dont want to use cheater notes, but it is going to be hard to do it without.... I would need a couple more weeks to do the show with complete memorization... Mind you, I just might study up enough and be in the Zone...
I think finding my way to hit that "In The Zone" area where i am just ZEN with the music will be an interesting challenge on Thursday. I want to have fun with the crowd and be able to pull off the songs without crashing and burning. I love the fact that i have experienced mentors in the band to give me words of encouragement to help me through some of my limitations. They don't show too much frustration with me, so I must be doing some things right.
Back to the Zen thing though... I have a lot of things that i am going to want to remember... Like the positions and stances that put me into a solid, state. I breathe a certain way, I stand a certain way, I dance a certain way... I know I am going to fall into it... What is REALLY important to me is that my mix is right... i need to be able to hear myself really well, not have to push my voice too hard to get it out and have a decent mix of the other musicians. Other things that i will need to think about are what i can do with the freedom of a wireless microphone because i am NOT used to that. At the same time, I wont have TOO much room to mess around and just as well for the feeling of this particular room.
To be honest, my voice has been getting a little wear and tear lately because i have probably had to push it too hard to get the sound to where i wanted it to be.... I am going to be really careful in the next couple days. The back of my throat tickles... If i wasn't being so ANAL with the Listerine everytime i feel something back there, I would likely be very sick by now. I ALWAYS get sick this time of year. Just need to make it a few more days and then I can afford to get sick. My tonsil area is clear of that infected feeling, except for this one spot that is connected to my nasal passage.... But i REALLY don't feel like taking Listerine through the nose... Mind you, it ain't a bad idea to try and get rid of infection there... I bet you it is a NASTY FEELING and i would hate myself for doing it.... HA HA HA... Let's take a dare right here right now at 1am.... ALL BY MYSELF... nobody to witness this one... ok.. i am going to do it... Listerine up the nose to get that back nasal passage touching the tip of that tickling tonsil giving me trouble....
THIS IS GOING TO SUCK... (I will let you know how this goes)
Well... AS you can Imagine... Snorting Listering Sucks... It burns a bit... Not for long... and then you have a nice fresh smell....
Did it work? It kinda feels like it did... Don't sniff hard after that or you WILL cough though.... I really think that made a difference... thats fucked up.... HA HA HA HA!
SO......
I bought $90 of cheese today.... am i crazy? YA... but...
I LIKE CHEESE!
Good thing I am in THIS band... Fuck...
I bought 4 DVD's today... GOONIES being one of them... It is kind of a theme film for the band... Stand By Me.. a classic... Spinal Tap... cause i have never seen it (yes, I can hear you groaning at me.... but i WILL watch it!) and the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka... because i have to have both versions of course. I think it is going to be fun to watch those movies this weekend. I am looking forward to it all.
OK... i am going to shut up and go to bed now...
Me Love You Long Time!
