Nerve Wracking to Say the Least

Last night was my second outing to Mongo's Bar in Grover Beach.

Last week when I got there twenty minutes early there was no one signed up to play on the list. I put myself fourth on the list because I didn't want to be the first one to go up. Last night when I got there fifteen minutes early, there were eight people signed up to play before me.


I was a bit distressed.

This week a lot of people heard about and decided to come to the open mic night...which was really really great and encouraging, but it also made me feel really responsible, especially when I realized they'd have to wait almost two hours if they wanted to see me play...

Surprisingly, everyone stayed. It was really amazing, everyone seemed to have a good time, no one was upset at how long it took (well, no one except me). I was so very grateful at how everyone just enjoyed themselves and was there to support me.

this is the group. sans brian, he wasn't there yet. and sans ruth, she was holding the camera.


i did something to aggravate brian, and he did something to make me laugh


this is ruth, see, i took this one!


i took this one too, pretty good i think :)


lindsay's getting drunkers! but not really :)


hank is a very silly person.



hank's getting lindsay drunkers! but not really :)


i moped a little bit, and ruth took a stealthy picture of me




i moped a little more next to brian.



look, we're both moping.



just me and hank gettin' our mope on.



ruth took pictures of people heading towards the bathroom :) hehe.



then hank went mad with power and tried to kill lindsay



we're amused at something



hank and ryan are close. very close.



the green man hit on lindsay while....



...his friend tried to strangle me with my scarf! (this is a re-enactment shot, but it's a true story)



look how cute, they're all pretending to be happy to be there! :)



oh look! and now they're pretending not to fall asleep! :)



pretending to mingle



jeff either hates me, or wants me....i'm not sure i want to know which.



jeff also drinks very fast, look how blurry his hand is!



i'm drinking beer, and that guy next to me is being creepy....



ruth took some pictures of herself too, yay!



well, that's all the pics i've got for now...there's ones of me actually onstage and there's actually a few more of the group too that are darn good, i just didn't have time to upload them all today, so later tonight or tomorrow you should be seein those, keep your eyes peeled!

thanks for reading :)
