very fun show last night!! it was really thanks to the audience.... no slight meant to the other week's audiences, but last night's was the best yet this month. :) It's been really fun playing every week like this... it's really given the band a chance to tighten up and try some stuff out. Dave McMillan did a really great job last night filling in for Marc... it's nice to know we have someone like that we can rely on if Marc gets the chance to do something big like he's doing this week (see previous journal entries).

playing out again has also been inspiring me to do some more writing and there are songs coming out weekly, sometimes daily. i've also been writing with Marc, which is new, and turning out to be really fun. when i'm in a writing period, i end up getting a bit "haunted" by the new songs... they follow me around my day and even when i wake up in the middle of the night, there they are... in fact last night at 4:30 in the morning i was flipping channels trying to distract myself from one so i could fall asleep - every time i lay down in the quiet room it was just going round and round and round in my head. a bunch of infomercials later i realized was welcoming in the "new day" of broadcasting with the national anthem on a few channels and i decided it was enough... somehow i fell alseep.

i'm listening to the boardmix of last night's show as i write this... and bobbing my head. :)
