I Should Probably Put A Set Together − 2 April, 2004
Not to mention start practicing.
I haven't played publicly since April of 2003 -- it's been a year. This isn't the first time I've taken time off from performing, but this may have been the longest time, and certainly the most spiritually and creatively cleansing. So I want to ease into this performing thing, something low-key, low-consequence...
That sounds like Borders.
I just booked four gigs at four different Borders stores in May. These are free gigs -- well, I get to keep whatever tips the customers deign to give me -- but I don't mind all that much right now. I'm hoping to make recordings of all of them, from which I can cull the best for another release, and plus, it's a comfortable place to get my groove back on. Assuming it still fits.
I still have to get performance agreements signed, but the tentative schedule is like so:
Friday, May 9th, 2004: Borders La Habra
Saturday, May 15th, 2004: Borders Montclair
Saturday, May 22nd, 2004: Borders Brea
Saturday, May 28th, 2004: Borders City of Industry.
All shows should be around 7:30 or so until 9:30 or so in the evening.
If you'd like to know more about each show as they get closer, send me an email at gigannounce@mwsmedia.com. That'll put you on the MWS Media mailing list -- periodic blasts all about the man who put the MWS in Music Weans Salivation... me.
Fairly productive day, wot. Put up the magazine, got some gigs... also fixed the network situation for optimum convenience for all concerned here at home... it's nine o'clock, I have to be at work in thirteen hours, and I have more I want to do before I sleep...
