Last night at the Tequila Mockingbird show was great! I rocked out at the front of the stage for the whole show... It was a blast and a half. They invited me up to finish the first set off with Crazy Train... I was honored that they let me finish their set off! It was a good performance with the exception of some guy unplugging my microphone on me in the middle of verse 3... I got it back though... The crowd was fun!
I woke up around noon... listened to the set list a little and then surfed the net.. I should not allow myself on the internet to surf... i lost a few hours doing that.. I should have been clearing my house out so it is clean for after the gig.... I MAY have people over... ok.. who am I kidding, there will be an all out party... People are taking days off to hang with me... of course i am going to party!
After wasting too much time, i went to rehearsal at 4pm today and we had a five hour rehearsal without Dan and covered the entire setlist and 2 encore songs (just in case people want more that night) I tried to do most of it without looking... There were a few songs I watched the whole thing along and so I am going to have to really spend hard time on those songs. It is coming down to the wire and it is time to get REALLY serious...
I think I am getting better at giving and taking cues from the band now... It is starting to come together.... Of course the obvious worry is: Will we all pull it together in time? The answer is OF COURSE WE WILL!!
PoSiTiVe!!!! Staayyy POSSSSITIVVVVE..... Man... ha ha ha!
We all knew this would be a bit of a rollercoaster ride... Here... Let's book a gig in one month and then we HAVE TO PULL IT TOGETHER BY THEN!! LOL... Of course i would love another month to really polish it to perfection... but that isn't as rock n roll as Riding The Ragged Edge Of Disaster! It's like our songs talk about... Riding the Razors Edge Into The DANGER ZONE!!! That is TOTALLY how I feel right now... it is nerve racking and fun all at once!
Instead of surfing the net and going to sleep like a good little boy should now... I am going to find some songs for Kevin to add to set break and then I am going to rewrite ALL of my lyric cheat sheets.... Highlighting only words that will queue me off and song endings... THAT IS IT... I am going to probably hide cheat notes everywhere.... it is my first gig... so i am allowed. But I am needing them a lot less now... I just have to get to the point where i am not relying on them for a couple songs.
Well... I have a long ways to go... So I will get goin now...
