Wednesday, March 5, 2008 – 10:35 amhi folks!
it’s still ratcheting up to the big week!
this year, i’m not leading up to this week by drinking every night and eating Arby’s and sleeping on unlevel hardwood floors and not bathing and messing myself in grocery stores!
nope.
not this year!
this year, i’m actually taking care of my temple!
and i got SHOWS AND SHOWS AND SHOWS AND SHOWS!
but one show holds a different level of seriousness for me.
i am just 12 days away from the most important show i’ve ever played:
i’m kinda scared.
what if we mess up?
i mean, what if one those guys wearing a burnt orange baseball cap with the UT logo on it actually puts down his hot wing(s) and walks out because kevin messes up a keyboard solo or eryn forgets one of the verses?
and what if one of the females who works and/or frequently drinks there and who is also destined to be featured on a 5-minute segment of Girls Gone Wild kissing another girl whom she will have just met on 6th Street prior to entering the GGW tour bus actually doesn’t like us?
these are just some of the scenarios running through my head in anticipation of what could possibly make or break this band as we know it.
especially the one of the girl who just met the other girl and decided to let Girls Gone Wild film them for 5 minutes on the tour bus.
but then, that fantasy just sort of spirals back into me eating some hot wings and chips and queso with an entire roll of paper towels sitting in front of me to wipe the chicken grease, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, tortilla chip crumbs, and coagulated queso drops off my face and forehead.
and, as i amazingly synchronize the very last paper towel with the very last drop of ranch dressing on the very last bite of overprocessed chicken wing while i’m still chewing the last room-temperature drop of queso on the final broken tortilla chip; i will wipe my face and greasy fingers clean of all pollutants, get up, waddle my bloated body through a crowd of ambivalent baseball-cap aficionados and play the greatest show of my life.
WOW!
it’s official!
i am renaming this blog to ‘too many adjectives and stereotypical gen x cynicism’ .com
luv,
