Epic weekend, honestly.
Last night was the first time I've been in front of a crowd for longer than about 15 minutes. I'll be honest, it was pretty nerve racking. I was more focused on sticking to schedule that actually getting into my songs - which was weird, but I caught myself about halfway through.
I definitely know what I need to work on. And it's not much! That's the exciting part. It's literally just a matter of polishing. Memorizing my poetry, for example... It was distracting to me just reading them off of paper, but since I had so much time at work lately, I didn't have as much time to get it all into my head as I would have liked.
The writings were really fun. I've never performed my writing before... That was one of the funnest things I've ever done! Slight problem, though - I have an annoying tendency to talk very fast, especially if I find a good rhythm. Had there been a beat behind me, I could have kept up with P.O.S. But since there wasn't a beat behind me, it was kind of just a blur of words.. The people really liked it though. Had a lot of requests for copies.
SO great... It was the first step of several thousand in the same direction. Once I get all this stuff polished how I like it, I'll be hitting the road. And therefore, inevitably, stopping in your town.
Ah! Also, more on the music front, I got some DJ software to play with today. We'll see how this goes. That's completely uncharted territory for me, but it's always been an aspiration of mine, so it'll be really fun to explore. Plus, I'm always up for a new challenge!
Gah. So much ahead of me, and I can't wait to tackle all of it!
Loves, hugs n clankin' mugs,
