Can't Tear Myself Away

Monday I woke up and wanted to be completely lazy all day. I wound up getting lunch at Cassis with Boppy. We had a great convo. After that, I came home to more lazy time and then at 4 I met up with Nicole at the Beach. It was a nice, free, lazy day. After that, I went to Brian n' Morgan's for a fire in the backyard. It started thundering and raining so we came inside and played Cranium. After that, I stopped at Nagshead on my way home to say hi to Smally. He is finally moving out of NY. He is moving to Boston, to live with Brianne. Anyway, Monday nights at Nagshead are open mic nights. This means I will be playing there very soon. Hooray!

It's All For The Music

Monday I had band practice with Lauren. We made delish bloody maries and egg white omelets. We didn't really get too much done, but I got this spark where I realized that I really wanted to do an open mic night. After a pretty uneventful practice, we went to the cup and played a few games of scrabble.

My friend Stephen was telling me about these open mic nights in Coram on Tuesday nights. So, Tuesday came and I spent much of the day practicing and did it! I went up there by myself and played about 8 songs (2 different sets). I picked up Steph on the way and Julia, Nicole, Jackie, Sean and Tony came to support. I didn't play the most amazing sets of my life, but I guess thats what open mic's are about. People don't scrutinize you and applaud the fact that you are up there playing songs. A lot of the people there told me I did well. It was weird to be on the performance side of the open mic night. I always had a feeling that I should be, but it was nice for that aspiration to finally be actualized. I was always the one to tell people they did a good job, just for trying and now people were telling me the same.
