well here i sit. awaiting the moment the curtain opens and i’m breaking into the first couple of songs i have planned out for my live show at The Gravity Room (SW 3rd and Burnside).
it’s a major evening to me because i’m performing by myself but also am performing a show with 2 other local bands and a band on a major independent record label (Roadrunner Records) which to my belief, this show will have the venue packed to the brim.
set list is complete, and 9 sheets of paper with lyrics printed out for practice. 8pm i open up, and have 40 minutes according to the venue to provide my statement to a label if they are going to be there for real that they should invest time in discussing something with me for the art. if not, i have 40 minutes to prove to the audience they need to pay attention because i’m full of truth and stories that will be known eventually in time in a medium they’ll probably enjoy.
with this, 5 days after, i have yet another show. and then the rest of the time after that will be spent getting my life on track and gettin an apartment and living independent for a while, which i could definitely use right now!
when i get my life back on track, i’ll be returning to the chat room more often! count on it!

I used to work two floors up from RR when I lived in NY. Saw plenty of big acts coming through the lobby. They’re no small potatoes. Congrats!
