as advertised

and lo, monday doth roll 'round again. to say i'm both underwhelmed and exhausted would not put too fine a point on it.

but the show.

i promised you stories about the show.

ah...well...it was fun. really fun.

it felt like i was onstage forever. i was given free reign on time, and boy howdy did i take it. i was up there for what i think was just over an hour (or possibly just under an hour...one can never be too sure. either way, it felt like forever. in a good way). i think i pulled out every song i have ever written that is fit for human consumption...with the exception of one, that's only been played once, and has been asked about many many times in the months since. i suppose it may have to find its way back into the permanent rotation. roos' feeling on it is that it's a nonsense song, which is a nice contrast to all the angst of my other songs.

i premiered the infamous a cappella song, which as of now has no real title. it seemed to go over a treat, as did the britney spears cover, which became a sing-along because i forgot the words to the chorus and as such jumped straight to the verse at the end. i felt like a total div, but people seemed to be into it. which is always good. we love interactive audiences.

anyhoo. fastforward. the consensus seems to be that saturday's gig was the best one yet...i'm not sure i'd agree, considering i was dropping chords left right and center...but it was the most comfortable, i'd say. apparently my patter is getting much better. but, whatever. all this is neither here nor there, and my guess is that you probably aren't that interested if you weren't there.

but that's okay.

because this is my bloody journal, and as such 'tis my prerogative to go on and on and on about it.

so, in summation: really fun, i remain utterly peached and glowy that the letdowns asked me to share a show with them, moreso that they've asked me to do it again.

like i said before, big stupid grin. all day. yeah.
