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!
good stuff, my friend, good stuff
Awesome! Well done! “You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.” Sorry for the cheesy Star Wars reference, but I can’t seem to help meself. Can’t wait to hear the outcome of the return visit!
PS – Why can’t we ever read the comments that are left? Is there some weird setting in place? Fix it! (if you want to…don’t mean to be bossy)
