Oh ... yeah

I went to the open mike at Crave last night. I got there late, so I went on VERY late. I played ...

Low Self Esteem - kinda interesting under my current circumstance
How Can I Miss You?
Nice Guys

I was not at my best, but it was ok. I was ignored by most of the remaining audience after my first song.

A message for anyone who wants to perform at an open mike. Have your act together. Have all of your gear ready so you can start performing in a minute or two. Don't take 15 minutes setting up for a 15 minute set. Leave your amps at home, leave all of your effects pedals at home (unless they are integral to a certain song). Just bring your instrument and show us what you can do. Don't waste the time of the audience or the other performers.

Well put.

You keep dropping cryptic hints, but I don't actually know what's going on.

Which reminds me -- I think the last time I saw you you said that you meant to add me to your other flist (where I'm guessing you explained).
