It's always interesting to wake up on a Monday and always feel the same way.
Mondays suck.
I had a great weekend, though. It was stupidly busy, but in that looking-back-on-it-puts-a-smile-on-your-face kinda way.
Had gigs with the band Thursday night (took the stage at 12:45am...done at 2:30am...in bed at 4:30am...ugh). That made Friday a little rough.
Another gig on Friday. It was one of those where the crowd was light, but fun, and the group, amidst all their exhaustion, let loose a little bit. It was good times.
Saturday was particularly stressful only because everyone was starting to hit a wall. The first gig on Saturday was at 2pm...a quick 45 minutes as part of an all-day festival. Group played well, and we sparked some really solid networking.
Saturday night was great. We had our final gig of the week at a place we love. We always wonder if this time will be the time when it sucks, and it never does (*knock on wood*). The crowd was a little later than usual, but after they filtered it, it was game on. As the resident sound nerd, I couldn't have been happier. It was some of the best sound we've produced in a long time.
4 gigs in 72 hours. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
For those interested, pictures from the weekend are located here and here. Though, I encourage you to dig through the rest of the site, too. You can click here to do that. :) Oh, and no, I'm not in any of the pictures from the weekend...that's what I get for being the one who takes them all...
Back to the point...There's little better than working your ass off amidst tons of pressure, only to actually pull it off.
Which brings me to a future topic...my younger sister's getting married this Saturday...whoa...
But more on that later...at least it's not happening on a Monday...
