So today Kaleena and I finally finished tracking the 4 song demo we will be taking with us to SXSW. It is a glorious day, and we finished right on the wire with it. The show was amazing last night, I don't necessarily believe it to be our personal best, but oftentimes I feel that way if the monitors aren't working in our favor (or working at all, in this case :) ). But man, every time I've played in Syracuse lately I feel more and more humbled by the amount of people who come out and support us, friends and 'newbies,' high school friends and college friends, high school acquaintances and college acquaintances, etc. You were wonderful. As was Lights and her band, they said they remembered meeting us when they played in Fredonia, and I half believe them. They were very kind, and the waffles were as always fantastic.
Also, a personal first at that show: I wore pants, and I was barefoot during the performance. Both things I suppose I could get used to. Not that I'm usually pantless at shows... you get the idea.
Leaving for Nashville tomorrow to spend a week with Michael. It should be great, the weather should be warming up (and should be well over what it is here any day), and we might take a trek to Memphis, and neither of us have ever been out there. I also might meet up with my cousins, and maybe even do a little songwriting work if that works out. Keeping those fingers crossed once again that I'll run into Taylor Swift and she'll want to be my friend, or that Nicole Kidman asks me out for coffee at some point.
I just found this on youtube today. This is one of my all time favorite songs, I think, and sung by most definitely one of my all-time favorite musicians. sigh.
