We went and played at “Seekers” coffeeshop tonight. Our time slot was at 9:30. We got there at 9:15, running late, as is usual now. We didn’t know that it was “Seekers Idol”. It was a competition and the prize is to open for an established band and get $50. We were the last people to perform. We didn’t get to hear anyone else, we walked in and basically got on stage. It went pretty well. One of Steve’s strings went out of tune, not to bad, but it bugged him. We finished and sat down. We met some really kind, sweet people. It felt so good to talk to people and be out doing what we love. Anyway, they took a vote and we came in second! I was pretty shocked. We went to just get our feet wet I had no idea we would win anything. We are supposed to go back on May 26th and play again to see who gets the $50 and the chance to open. It is so weird to be doing this again. It’s good. Steve is really excited. We have already picked the songs for the 26th and I’m ready to go. We need to finish working up a good set, at least 60 to 90 minutes. It is happening. We are walking down a road that feels familiar but so exciting and new. Who knows where it will go from here but I’m anxious to find out. May 26th here we come! 

We are playing at “Seekers” coffeeshop tonight. We have the songs ready.. they are “Holy Now” by Peter Mayer, “121″ by us, and “Set me free” by us. I’m really excited and ready to go and get my feet wet. My friend Kristen is going to come and be with the kiddo’s. I know that it is just an open mic night and that really no one will be there, but it is still the first time we have played in such a long time. I think Steve is nervous, I’m nervous. It’s a start, it’s a new beginning. Starting is always the hardest. I feel like I am getting used to the newness of everything lately. Every single thing we do is “new”. Even the grocery store is new. We definitely left “comfortable” back in Tulsa but that’s okay. Dallas is fun. It’s big and exciting and full of possibilities. Today it feels that way anyway. It goes in spurts. 

It is very overcast here today and it smells like rain, even though the rain hasn’t come yet. I love that. We will see if this new road will lead somewhere. It will, this time I know it will.
