Post-TFF Rundown
11 years ago
Overall, it was a blast! I really enjoyed all the new people I met.
Shoutouts to: Prannon, Lundi, Meredies, Williamca, Rent, Nuvi, Fox Amoore, Dolphinboy, Rhubarb, Cosmik, AJA (Alexander James Adams / Faerie Minstrel), Floe, Royalty, Merystic, Naedere, Rapier, Neoscottie, Nathan Rei., the sound crews who made the show run and the camera guys, all the folks I met at the pancake house, and everyone else I met but forgot the names of because there were SO MANY PEOPLE! Oh and I guess Path. Smelly bastard.
For those of you who didn't know already (shame on you) I was invited by Fox Amoore to play guitar for the rock concert he was holding which was themed after this year's "Heroes and Villains" visage. Most of us in the band had never even met in person before and we only rehearsed the songs together once before we were able to go on strage, so needless to say there were a number of issues that arose. However we put on a great show and it was really fun! We had a lot of people say they really enjoyed it, and so we accomplished what we set out to do.
I bought a whole bunch of badass prints. A few from Danji Isthmus, one I won in an auction from Nezumi, and another I bought from Vantid (who I got to hang out with after the concert when me and the band at at the steak and shake. She was a very neat person!) I got a few commissions done as well, one from FLOEBEAN WHO IS FUCKING NUTS BTW and yeah I love it, I'll have to take a picture and post it or something because she did a baller job on it.
Overall everything went well even though it started off like shit because as I was leaving Thursday, my truck started to overheat (the water pump was burning itself up). I spent 4 hours driving around in torrential rain trying to get it into the shop and get a rental car. I spent most of that time trying not to set the rental car place on fire because they wouldn't take my debit card as a form of payment, nor did they take cash. I had to get my mom to drive down and rent me the fucking car because of it. 9___6 So instead of arriving at around 5 or 6 like I hoped, I arrived at almost midnight. Luckily though the rehearsal was slated for 6 ish thursday, when I got there everyone was still diddling around and practicing, so we played until about 1 am. The next morning I woke up 'sick', SO THAT WAS REALLY FUN. I didn't know what it was at the time so I thought I was already really sick because of how sore my throat and nasal passages were. Thankfully it turned out to only be a sinus infection.
SO YEAH IT WAS AMAZING.

I just want to make music. Always. It is my ultimate nepenthe. That, and hearing the laughter of my family. And being around dolphins. And sharing good times with friends, new and old, with no regrets. okay there are several haa hee ho.
Yes, the gift of making music for a living is a truly special one that I pray I never take for granted. :)
