Getting excited

I am obsessed with this band I'm in. It's been almost two weeks since we've rehearsed and I'm so looking forward to it. Robb has ordered shirts and tank tops for merch to sell and they just came in and look great.

Since I officially joined, we've rehearsed several times and each time seems to just get better. I've been recording our practices with my trusty Lumia 950XL and aside from some distortion when the bass is too loud, it captures what we do pretty well.

For my birthday, I picked up a Rolls personal monitor box. I'm able to plug in my bass, headphones, mic, and line in from another source. By doing so, I hear and dial in what I want, instead of the usual. I tried it once and it was pretty cool, but I felt like a doofus setting it up, so I've left it alone. Maybe I'll revisit it this week.

Our show is next Friday and I expect it will be well attended. The other two bands are from Portland, and apparently are a big deal down there (Tango Alpha Tango and the Weather Machine). I think stylistically they're different from us, but they should have enough Indie Cred to draw people.

I simply can't wait to play with these guys. It's been a ton of fun and they're all super cool, as well. CAN'T WAIT.
