OMG We’re tired
After sampling the new Thai place on S. Grand we went to Erato tonight. Aimee planned our trip to New York, and I played to an empty room. We met quite the character named Joe. He was about 40-50ish, well dressed, luggage beside his barstool, and an iPhone loaded with pictures of his family and a load of time to kill. He seemed like the kind of guy who really knew how to read people, someone who had something special up his sleeve. Secretly, I was hoping he thought I was as special as he might have led me to believe he thought I was and would reveal his identity as a talent scout who had come out to see me, and me only. Turns out he was just a nice drunk guy in a bar with a plane to catch. Aren’t we all…
I worked like way too hard on my corny demo today. Oh well, it’s the best damn demo I could muster. In the midst of everything, I was getting a tremendous amount of other things done, (not that working on my art–even if the end result is a failure–needs any justification whatever) like getting a tentative band lineup hammered out for the 2 “really big shows” coming up in June and July–that’s a huge load off. On to more demos, working on the new songs I wrote this weekend, and the endless cycle of shameless promotional self-whoring…
tomorrow, that is… sleep now…
sleep…
sleeeeeep…
*sigh*
…and now we say “goodnight”.
