An epic birthday

My birthday was on the 4th and Jeez, I can’t believe it’s almost been a whole week. I took the liberty of extending my birthday over a long weekend, so today was kind of a catch up day.

Anyway, I had my best performance to date on Friday night at the Sublounge in SF. It was my first “door” gig – getting paid part of the door take. I’ve teamed up with a couple other performers to pool our skills/resources to get gigs. While the basement of a dingy dance club didn’t initially turn me on (i was reluctant to really hype the show ’cause of it), as the days approached, I found myself getting more and more excited about the prospect of playing a paid gig on my birthday. Feeling like I might have mentioned that already.

Anyway, I rocked the house. It was great. 40 minute set, I felt comfortable. I sold a CD at the show, one online, and got paid at the end of the night. Seeing dear friends (including a very-last-minute surprise from a special friend from LA), playing hard, relaxing hard, and generally having things be exactly perfect made it the best birthday to date.

Still smiling, and it’s Wednesday already!
