this is what i'd like to call an update...

it's been a while. so i shall write.


let's see about two weeks ago i had a gig at a place called the "keno cabana". i think i would probably consider it my first real bust of a gig. it was after the husker/usc game (ask me if i really care) and apparently since the huskers lost all of nebraska had to get their prescriptions for anti-depressants refilled. so, after the game, everyone went home leaving me, my dad, my guitar player and his wife and the staff to listen. lame.

none the less, i still got paid...(half the original amount) and got a gig booked for november. (hopefully there won't be a husker game that night)


also, i played again at chilis. this time they called me. it was for their st. jude's all profits day. now here i have a few things to reflect on.

the night started out rough. they were planning on putting us (i'll get to who "us" are in a minute) outside, but it was going to rain...so that was a no go. so we wandered around for about twenty minutes trying to figure something out...i was about ready to leave-thank goodness for my dad who can talk things out much better than i can-they ended up putting us in the bar....and people loved it. we made about $100 for the hospital, and just overall had a great time. now i'll get to the "us".

see, over the past four months i've been having a really hard time meeting friends here in omaha, but lately-i think things are changing. I've been spending some time with a fellow omaha musician, stephanie pilypaitis over the past few weeks, and i am really excited for whats to come in our friendship. she came out and played with me for the chilis event, and in turned asked me to play with her next thursday at this AMAZING martini bar called MYTH. we went tonight and spent about two hours just talking and listening to some music played by chris saub, probably one of the hardest working musicians in omaha. anyways...i'm just really excited, because now not only am i making some friends...but their also musicians...and good ones at that!


other than that, nothing much new in the music realm. the cd's been on hold for about three weeks, scheduling conflicts and business abounds. but...we'll get back in track soon, i hope!

i'll let you know how things go next thursday night!
