On Saturday afternoon, I went with Steven to an openmic night
thing. Somebody on myspace, who had a page claiming that he had a
band with the name Radio Valley sent me an invitation to sing at an
openmic thing at a little smokeshop not far from where I live.
I told Steven about it and so we went. We had to wait 2 hours
before the dude showed up with only a guitar and base player and a
microphone. I was mad, but kept the thought to myself, "That's it?,
no drums, not even a stereo?
The dudes don't even play right!"
I decided to hear them play for a while, even though I didn't feel
like it, and see if more people would show up or if it was going to
get somehow better, nothing. Steven told them some jokes to make them
laugh for a while, and then they gave me the mike and I sang "Bag of
Dreams" and "Waking Up the Neighbors".
Well, scratch that, I tried to sing "Bag of Dreams", but some other
dude was doing his thing with the guitar right in front of me while I
was trying to sing, right in front of the mike! I wanted to scream,
and to yell at him to shut the hell up, I'm trying to sing, but
instead, I acted like a moron and forgot the words right in the middle
of the song.
I was downright insulted, and worst of all, Steven noticed. "And you
thought you had stage right?", but instead of mad or laughing, for
a moment he sounded understanding. Just for a moment though.
Then it seemed as if I wasn't there because Steven got them to talk
about cars and driving. He tried to get them out of it afterwards,
but those guys when they get into something it's hard to get them off
of it. And then I sang "waking up the neighbors", when they started
trying to pllay it with the help of my recorder. They said they were
impressed with my singing, but, as I expected, they didn't have any
big position to offer me on their unformed rock band. If I had a
band, I would at least make sure that we take our work seriously and
get where we need to go play on time, even if it were in the streets.
But that's not all, yesterday was our anniversary, but we didn't
have time to do anything because I got home late from the rehearsal
for the show.
The show will be today at 7:30, but I don't think noone I know will be there.
Anyway, got to go start my busy day, tomorrow will be my last day of
school, yei! Then I have to go to Houston for Christmas to see my
familly and go to more Doctor's appointments.
