in case you were wondering...

and now that i've kept you all in suspense for several days...the show went really quite well, actually.

no, that's not quite right.

the whole evening was of the sort where i was constantly concerned that i was going to go supernova along the breadth of my smile. i felt like i was generating my own light.

the set went smoothly (minus one song, but that was okay), including the infamous cover--britney spears' "baby...one more time."

yes, i was pleased. very pleased indeed.

just thinking about it still makes me smile, actually. i only regret that i wasn't able to get it recorded--i would have loved to hear it. but then, perhaps it's good that i didn't. doing so might have taken some of the patina off the iris. and, frankly, for my first big show, i'm quite content to just be happy about it.

and now, into the abyss, to show that honcho-man that we don't fuck around here in the GMO. by the time i leave today, johannesburg's guide is going to sparkle like an extremely well-crafted rhinestone. that's right.
