Holy fuckin shit!

You know, I don't swear often. Well... yes, I do. But there aren't any clean words to describe how awesome tonight went. The Stint played their one and only show (pretty much) and for some strange reason we PACKED the bar, everyone was really into it, even though few were drunk (Thursday night and all), the booker at the Klinic (Trevor) practically took me home and adopted me, he was so happy with the turnout and the concept of the band, and we even made a very small profit! The guys in Mary Ellis are kick ass beyond belief because they refused to take any money from what we made. I TRIED to give it to them, too. Bless their little hearts. I still have to get a hold of A Gnarly Swell, who impressed the shit out of me. They deserve at least a little cash because they made me think "Why wasn't I that good at age 20?". Dan played awesomely, and for being a dude with a bad-ass cold, he sang great! Bill rocked the drum set like I knew he would (the weird drum part in the middle of "You Don't Know Me", the Ray Charles cover, came out perfectly!). I think I did pretty god damn well, too, if I say so myself. Which I do. It was great to be on stage again and get that feeling back (it's been so long!). The crowd was so great. They were really into the songs, even though they hadn't heard them before. But even a few were singing along, since we put the 4 mp3's online a couple days ago. A lot of people were really upset we were breaking up, which was another huge ego booster (did we really NEED more?). Trevor at the Klinic was under the impression we would do this EVERY month, and kept telling me to come back in September and October and November, etc. I think he may have been drinking. haha... What a good guy. And thanks so much to Erika for filming this. She will hopefully teach me to edit, so I can help with that (the hardest and longest part of this whole thing!) and get a video online before everyone forgets what we just did. Everyone was uber-impressed, and they weren't just blowing smoke up our collective asses. It felt great to get that recognition after doing something so tedious and difficult. Not like it was a horrible thing to do (obviously, we loved it), but it really was difficult to do it as well as I think we did. I try to stay humble most of the time, but for right now, I'm riding this out because shit... we rocked. Thank you Dan, for making me do this, and thanks to Bill for agreeing to play with us. We probably would've been completely fucked had we not had him as a drummer for this. Thanks to all the people who came out on a Thursday night. The turnout was incredible, and even though the QUANTITY was great, it was the QUALITY of the fans that really meant something. In the words of Andrew W.K.---- I love music. :)
