From Bust to Booked

Basically, if it could go wrong, it went wrong. The entire past few weeks have led me to believe this past saturday’s show was going to be a bust. and with one half working cd player, my home 5 disc changer, and Mark’s portable cd player, we setup to practice on Saturday. After some practice and starting to pack up the equipment and begin hauling it, Mercy called to verify our booking for the night, and the place screwed up and we weren’t on the list!! some guy had been booked as well that same night, and no one told us. good thing we called before we went over there. so our hopes shattered, we called around a few places to see if we could get in, either the place wasn’t open, the manager wasn’t in or whatever excuse. so we gave up, and Mercy went home and i just stayed where i was and took a nice nap. Then Mercy calls all excited and says she’s gotten us in at another club called the Silver Dollar. alright, so we’re on. i go get a vehicle, pack everything up, picked up Mercy, and off we went to the silver dollar. got there, only a few people there. it was early for a club though. only about 8:00 pm. i started setting up all the equipment. it was a nice place for us, we had a stage and everything. never played on a real stage before. now, this place was really big, especially compared to philly bistro. so i cranked my JBL’s up, and made sure we had plenty of noise to fill the room! and man they rocked on. i didn’t even crank them all the way. didn’t skip a beat. well.. except for some strange skips in I will survive that Mercy sang, maybe the cd’s getting scratched up. We just kinda faded the music out and left it at that. but other than that, my broken cd player played on for the night, and i didn’t have to break out my backup unit. now, the owner of this place has ties with other big clubs in the area. he’s heard her sing before at another place, and he likes her. and from what i understand, he wants us back at the silver dollar. we just have to find some appropriate music for the redneck crowd that hangs out there. Hopefully, things will progress and we can get into some other clubs. i can hire some help and we can get a van and there’s a bit more equipment i want to buy. if i’m going to do something, i’m gonna do it right and it’s pretty good right now, but not perfect. anyway… if you only read one thing in this whole rant/update i have, read this. MARCH 16TH, 7:00PM PHILLY BISTRO! yea, mercy called today and spoke with the manager, and it turned out to be a big misunderstanding and all is well. to make it up, he put us in this Saturday. and if all goes well, he even said the 30th as well. so we’ll see. income is nice

with all that went on the past week or two, i haven’t had much time to just relax and think. i don’t have any new poetry, no new music. i hate that. not that i’m not trying. i haven’t even been posting here as much as I’d like to. I’ve been frequenting www.blogwars.com and reading their stuff, but its basically a bunch of losers who sit around and talk about drugs and porn and just weird stuff. not that its’ not funny and interesting to read. but then neither is this. I’m listening to my game music remixes collection. i want to do a remix. i want to do some music. my keyboard wont talk to my fruity loops for some reason. i have a cd player sitting beside me that doesn’t work. i have 2 guitars in reaching distance and i’m not any better at guitar than i was a year ago. who wants to know that i went grocery shopping today? i got 2 packages of breyers ice cream. i’m about to have some too. i had left over pizza for supper. my house is gradually getting cleaner. i have laundry to fold. i hate folding laundry. random thought time to entertain you and me. i have cables hanging from my keyboard and i have no use for them. herzog zwei is one of my favorite genesis games. man, some guys making a herzog zwei TC for UT? another link about the game and yet another. i dont post enough links like i used to anymore. i’m already disinterested in this and ready to move on to something else. i haven’t balanced my checkbook for months. i’m cold. most of my cd’s are neglected. i like to work on the computer with the lights out. i hate noise when i sleep. someones dog kept me up for 2 hours last night because she was barking at some chickens or roosters or something making noises somewhere. i was 10 minutes late for work today. im not sure what will happen when my music conflicts with my work. i’m not sure how i will transport everything. i’m ready for my ice cream. i used to listen to quackshot on the genesis as background music for ultima’s martian dreams when i had a computer that didn’t have a sound card. i had a computer with no sound. i still have 2 computers with no sound. wait, maybe 3. the best fudge is at busch gardens, peanut butter and chocolate fudge mix. peanut butter and fudge ice cream is weird. but good. i have a season pass to busch gardens and no one to go with. i wouldn’t be opposed to going by myself. someone’s calling me. its Emily. thats what i said. your mamma has testees. i dont think frontpage has a correct spelling for testees. steve’s better at making ut maps than i. i’m better at grammer than steve. i dont think that was gramatically correct. i have mispelled grammer or grammatically 4 times now. this song sucks. done with ice cream. i have gotten an email every 2 minutes now for like 30 minutes. none of them are relevant. the best thing about living alone is control. the worst thing about living alone is living alone. those two statements collide. the ideology anyway. i still take Flintstones vitamins. i overdose on them every morning. but my body is used to it now. i have low iron. i have lost 15 pounds since the last time i weighed myself and i dont know how. i didnt mean to lose weight. i think i have a tapeworm. or some alien inside me (again). i wrote a story about a person with an alien inside them. i read it at my writers meeting years ago. it was the most profane thing i’ve ever written. i keep all my writings. i keep a lot of things. i used to keep ketchup packets by the trash bag. i used to keep paper towel tubes and make things out of them. now i keep silica gel packets. how many random things can i come up with? now do you know why i cant sleep at night? these things are going through my mind constantly. i can never finish a project. i haven’t made a complete thought yet on here. i sat down tonight when i got home to update my quicken info. that was at about 7:00 pm. quicken is still open on my computer, and it’s 10:08pm. i went to be bank last night at midnight to make a deposit. we got $25 bucks tip from our show at the silver dollar. the cd player i just ordered is $560. i’m broke. but i think it will get better. i feel like it’s an investment. when i ever find a good girl for me, she will probably be jealous of the money i spend. then again, if she’s a good girl for me, she wouldn’t. i have erased several random thoughts while writing this. this post is going to rival my 9/11 post. i had tons of links that night. i stayed up very very late collecting links on irc. i posted them all here. most are down now. i still keep all the old news i post on this site. just no way for you to access it yet. if your really good, you could find it. good luck. ok, i’m done with this. going to work on a ut map. i hope i entertained you for a bit. write me. i dont care what you say. write me. noone has written me about my page yet!!
