^^ yay! i would love to listen some stuff!

i was sort of forcing myself to stay away from this thread, hehe. it was easy for a while, since i´ve gone through a tough time lately...
but, i met gemma hayes last night i went to see her in a middle of nowhere and i bumped into her when she was looking for the loo, hehe... i had the chance to chat a bit with her, she is so tiny but adorable... she could barely believe that i was an argentinian fan! and she show, in a very intimate venue, was amazing! the bonus extra was a lift to the nearest village to get a bus to the city. the lovely lady at the box office arranged it for me that turned into another nice memory that i will keep forever

I glanced at the old 2011 what got you down threads and I am soooooooooooooo happy I am not in THAT place anymore!
And when I saw that there is no thread title 2012 what got you down, that made me smile.
And I have only had 3 cigarettes today instead of the usual 20 and I am already feeling better, and younger.

It was a hoot, but it didn't quite go as planned. There were some technical difficulties in the beginning (the hodgepodge amplification didn't quite work) which were very distracting during the opening song, so I abandoned it halfway through and started over completely unplugged, which meant new, volume-based distractions. But after the problems were solved, things got back on track and the last third kicked all kinds of ass.

I might play another one with another friend next week, I still have to fix the date, if it is even available. We'll see. Also, I should really start working on making up songs of my own.

It's good to play impossible gigs like that, I think. It teaches you to improvise under difficoult conditions, it makes you a better performer in the end. And let's face it: When starting out, most gig opportunities are crap. I remember playing a gig outdoors under a ntiny piece of tarp in a rainstorm - now that i think of it, the chance of electrocution was quite present, and people weren't too inclined to stop by and listen, but in the end it was quite funny and a good experience, having survived that ****.

Actually, the gig opportunity was rather great (especially the amounts of whisky I got out of the deal), it was only that me and my co-performer had to set up the amps and stuff (since the place is by no means a concert venue, just a bar) and we were rather disorganised.

This should be under the random thread, but I want to convince my boyfriend to busk. I'm the only one who hears his wonderful songs and voice, but I know he wants to busk, and do more with his music. There are just no Buskers here in Georgia, unless you go to Savannah. I introduced him to Glen's music, we saw him in September, and I think he is now a bigger fan than I am. If that is possible.
Oh and also, most people I know don't know what a busker is, or who Glen and Damien are either.
