After a return-to-form Saturday morning with Bug (in other words, after trying to be good for a few weeks, we got bagels) followed by an afternoon out with E (shopping for colored jeans and a sassy-bitch-shiny-red-faux-leather purse) BA and I had another gig this evening.
Unfortunately, it was only a few blocks from where our gig was last night, was not well promoted, and it was raining, so only two people showed up. Honestly, I barely minded. After all the recent drama that has been percolating in our local incestuous new age community, we really needed to have a gig that was just the two of us. Honestly, even if no one had showed, we were going to sit and play in the empty room.
The two people who did come, a young married couple, seemed to really connect with what we were doing, and we sang and played our asses off, and told stories, and it was exactly what we needed. Do I prefer playing for bigger crowds? Of course I do! Who doesn't?! But this had its own charms, and I was grateful for it.
BA & Mark invited me to a cafe across the street afterwards, sort of as a do over from last night's diner experience. So I had an alright hot chocolate (Max Brenner's has totally spoiled me!) while they had dinner, and we all got to talk freely about what's been going on. Mark is still the quietest guy I've ever met, but I do make him laugh, and that is always encouraging.
My shoulder doesn't actually hurt too bad right now, as there was no reason to play loudly this time. Still, I wouldn't turn Nancy or Kimma away if they were local and willing. I am sooooo spoiled.
Alright. Enough. A bit of reading then bed, and a (hopefully) quiet day tomorrow.
