Weekend Roundup
2/04/2008
Friday: After an ER visit and a day off of work, I put in a full shift. The pain meds slowed time down to a standstill and I struggled to remain awake as the painkiller and the valium did their work. Spent all night at home working on finishing touches for my Saturday night performance. Caught up on Torchwood and Lost. Torchwood was touching and sad this week, and the Lost premiere was so-so.
Saturday: Layed around trying to let my body heal. Worked on music some more. Took lots of cat naps. Played a nice, profitable show at Exit 6C where I was blessed with a crowd of 60+ (not including the four performers). Saw a few faces I haven't seen in awhile, and a few new faces as well, and played a full 2 hour set without stopping even though I was in a great deal of pain and feeling lethargic from the meds. Drank a gallon of water in about four hours and sweat it all out on stage. The club was very happy with the turnout and invited me back sometime in the next 4-6 weeks, which is great news because it's a nice venue. They have a nicer PA than most live venues in Tulsa, or perhaps a better sound man.
Sunday: Woke up early. Went to see a matinee with Jennifer. We actually payed to see the new Rambo movie, and aside from a couple of cheesy lines it was actually pretty decent. Bloody and gory as fuck. Far more violent than anything I've seen since Grindhouse. My main motivation for watching it was the lead actress, Julie Benz, who played Darla in Buffy and in Angel. Stallone does not look 62, and he still can't act, but it was still great matinee fun. Next weekend I intend to see Juno - if it's still in the theaters.
All in all, a satisfying weekend. it was good to play again, as being on stage expressing myself through music is the greatest feeling in the world. It brings me life, energy and purpose. I hope everyone enjoyed the music as much as I enjoyed performing it!
