Yesterday, my band played at a birthday party. New people exposed to us/our music. Positive responses! I can only hope that soon we will be playing in a public place.

So we played a second show for our friends in our practice space. This time there were more people there! I think as soon as we can get a permanent drummer and he/she learns the songs, we’ll be ready for a real show. Then the challenge becomes finding a place where we can play. But this is just another step closer!
So fact is. I can’t skank. (And if you watch videos on YouTube, nobody else can either.) But I am practicing! Practicing like a… Practicer. I am practicing so much that it hurts. (Which really doesn’t take long when you’re fat.) SOMEDAY I WILL DANCE LIKE A REAL RUDE BOY!
But seriously. Stop it with the “IT’S EASY”s. Because it’s not. And stop making videos of five people giggling hopping around like jack-asses and titling it “How to Skank”. They’re no help.
