I woke up pretty late today since I was up really late last night. I spent most of the day working on music and doing Laundry. I got a job Interview at Granite Hills. Please say some prayers or do whatever it is you do for me 'cause I need a job really bad.
At five Chris came over and we practiced some of our songs.
At 6:45 we showed up at It's A Grind Coffee where we'd be playing a free show along with Mark Velásquez.
It took a long time to get things started and for people to show up. It was pretty redonkulous and you could tell it was whiggin' Mark out. Mark played first to a really good crowd. Let me just say this kid is an amazing songwriter and he really ups the ante for me personally. he makes me want to do better.
After Mark Chris and I set up and played what I felt was a pretty good set. it seemed really awkward, but I liked how everything "felt" if that makes any sense. We did a sped-up pop-punk version of "Brent, Your Sister's Hot" which got puzzled looks from the crowd and a big grin from Mark, who I think got what we were doing.
Yeah ok, I'm going to admit it here and now, it's really fun to mess with the crowd at shows. I don't know what it is, but it keeps things fresh to just really throw 'em for a loop.
After the show I hopped in a packed car with Joe, Ginger, Kori, and Vanessa
Our next destination was an Airplane Hanger at which some of our friends work. A sort of party was already taking place (as much of a party as you can have with a bunch of Mormon kids)
. When we got there I thought, "how can this place be cool at all, it's in the middle of nowhere?" Boy how I was wrong. This hanger was fully equipped. I'm talking pooltable, fooseball table,
Still, it felt pretty awkward sine all of these friends of mine were there and I didn't get invited to the thing. Kinda' bummed me out. I just went 'cause Vanessa was invited. The whole experience really got me thinking. I really love my friends that stick by me and don't treat me like crap.
