hot energy balloon

wow! had a great practice tonight. was starting to get worried there for a minute. we have a show coming up in like 2 weeks and things were coming along but not coming together... we had a couple discouraging practices where it seemed hard to make it through any of our material- even stuff we werent having problems with before...

but tonite we threw so much positive energy into it that we ran all the way through the set a few times and it sounded fantastic like never before! awesome.

oh man

oh man did we ever do some good practicing today. we are all mad here is starting to sound great. it went from getting bumped from the setlist to probably the opening spot. funny how things work like that. we are making so much progress! amber is getting super smart and attentive musically!

try to remember baby try try try try try try try try

riding the good vibe

been on a real good vibe lately. recently got the old hair cut, and amber made me a new necklace. i feel renewed, bolder, more open. it feels easier to be myself and likewise, im no longer afraid to do so. this seems to be going double for amber. actually i think the change in her inspired the change in me. im really proud of both of us, but especially her. it feels good to let go of all of that extra weight. its really exhaustive being self protective, self conscious, overly sensitive, socially anxious, defensive, secretive, and closed off (that all even sounds like an awful lot of work!!)

also our studies of modern music have been contributing much to our music. listening is good.

weve finally gotten a song recorded and uploaded to our myspace. we have recordings of some of our other material, but we are still reworking a lot of our stuff. we have a gig at vics on the 31st. we need a few pieces of new equipment before then, our current equipment not being very reliable / existent. weve been considering enlisting the contribution of a drummer as an addition to the band. we both agree that well find someone when were meant to, so were on the lookout for any signs for that to be happening.

anyway its all very exciting and feels like a new time
