The End is Near, Part II
Wow! I forgot to write about Boogie's! It was okay-no, it was just like last time. Friday was great, Saturday was dull until we were ready to finish. Noël, Jack, Roslyn, and Denny were there, so it was cool to have friends around.
Killeen was fun too. It was fun to hang by the pool all night Friday-down time on the road is cool. Saturday-not many people at the Festival, and there was only one sound guy doing everything by himself rather slowly...Tony didn't even have a drum monitor. That part was weird, but we played well. Randy Dennis(Tracy Byrd's former piano player) sat in with us and was awesome. He's got the whole stoner personality going on...he's sooo cool.
Duck Horn Tavern was the highlight of the weekend. People loved us. It was the first time "Workin For the Weekend" actually got a response. Some woman showed Don a dirty text message but I didn't see what it was. It was a real boost to his confidence that women were finding him attractive. I think a lot do anyway, he just wants to feel old and sorry for himself.
I had a blast once I sucked down a Choco-Tini and a couple of mudslides. It was just nice that people were actually being appreciative of the band, instead of the dead, confused looks we get when we play in Arkansas.
I still haven't sent any new queries out but I will as soon as school's out. I'm still targeting victims to read it locally. Three of my students are going to be reading via e-mail, and Karen Taylor has the first half of the hard copy. I do need to warn her-just in case she gets keyed up about sex, drugs, and rock & roll, but she's pretty raunchy herself so she probably won't mind. And she reads romances so it shouldn't be too much of a shocker.
It's Metal Month on Vh-1. They were showing "Rock Star" last night. Once I was over my tiff with my significant other, I was inspired to write, which I love to do when no one else is home so I can concentrate. I'm really going to enjoy writing this sequel. It's going to be really good. Noël has her own MySpace now and mentioned my "untitled" novel on her homepage. Hadn't expected that! Thanks, sistah!
This semester can't end soon enough. I'm so bored anymore and wish I could do other things. If I could just play music and write that would be cool. But alas...here I am...again on my own...going down...oops, Whitesnake moment!
