- Booked a gig
booked a gig booked a gig. Happy happy joy-joy. Friday
July 30th at the Powell "Brian Boru's" bar. That's
like a testing ground for the other place. I don't
care what it is. It's a paid gig and I can prove
myself. Chris was very cool. He runs 5 places and
knows the entertainment business. THANK GOD. Thought
it might be cool for me to play the patio on gallery
hop nights. That's perfect. Lots of exposure, and
people will flock to it. Also, it's on the same patio
that CD101 is on! HA. How awesome would that be. To be
able to be there and not have to worry about my usual
duties with CD101. Very cool. I'm very
excited…now here's the problem. Heh heh. I have
to play 9-1. That's 4 hours. That's at LEAST 12 sets.
I'll have 9 by the 18th….SOMEHOW I have to make 3
more. And have them DONE by the 30th. Good christ. I
have the ideas thank GOD. It's just a lot of work. A
LOT OF WORK. Very cool. Very happy. I needed
this.
-
- So many other
things in the works too. Andyman said I could play a
gig at his bar for the door. It'll be more like a
place that I can practice and I might make $4 for
dinner. Heh. That could be as soon as next week.
Working on a hotel lounge at Holiday on the Lane.
That's a bit more of a captive audience than a bar -
so I'm excited about that. Still dozens of little
clubs that are looking over the packages - a lot could
be happening in the coming days.
-
- Still just floored
at how positive even the denials are. Everyone
loves it, it's just not for every club. And
I realize that, although Columbus is a big
city...it's filled with LOTSA rednecks. The guy at
"Vinny's Pub" said: "That's too high brow
for us." Heh. You can't be mad at that.
-
- So it looks like
we'll have 3 shows in July, Andyman's, Shorty's and
Brian Boru's. Man I need to have a lot of sets ready
by the end of this month...
-
- ...but after last
time I'm liable to play nothin' but love
songs on a
loop. Heh.
