Ms Buddha

Here's me cavorting with my new band "Ms Buddha". I know, don't ask. I personally think the name is slightly retarded, but the rest of the gang likes it. /shrug. None of our bandmembers are Buddhists or anything... I don't get it, but maybe I'm just slow.

My wife came to check out the gig for the first time this past weekend. She hasn't run off to go get divorce papers yet so I figure we were halfway decent or she's being a sport. I'm sure punk music wasn't in her list of things she'd expected when she was growing up dreaming of her future husband hehe.

This was only our 2nd gig ever, it seems like we're not doing half bad. Each time there was maybe 30-40 people in the room (trust me that's not bad for a new band with practically no promotion), and the feedback we get after is pretty positive. I think we earned in the order of maybe $150 for our first shows. We're RICH BEAAATCH!!! I'm quitting my day job.

I'm so anti-rockstar these days. I'm into it....but I'm not INTO it, does that make any sense? I'm the only one wearing earplugs all the time, I like leaving almost immediately after playing, I don't socialize with other bands, & I hate carrying my equipment to and from the show. Am I just getting too old? The other 2 guys in the band are my age...why do they enjoy it so much? Am I just jaded after playing in bands for over 15 years?

Different priorities I guess.

I guess I'll just go with the flow and see where this takes us.
