The thing is, right this second, I wish I wasn't here at home on the computer.
A friend of mine - or ours, rather - is doing a gig tonight. It's on right now. Oh, it's not just any old gig... I can handle not being at all my friends' gigs! (I'd be out every night of the week if I couldn't. :P) But the thing is, it's his first gig with this particular band that asked him to join them a couple of weeks ago. We were there to share the excitement of that news. And I so wanted to be there tonight as well. We were considering going in, Megs, another friend and I, right up until an hour before the gig started... (that's how long it would've taken us to get there). I knew it wasn't sensible to go, given the week I've had, and the day I've had. But the problem is that 98% of me wanted to ignore the sense-factor, and instead be a supportive sister to a brother in Christ. So I am struggling with that at the moment.
That's all. See, my first line was true.
Right there with you chum - it would have been AMAZING to be there for the first gig as a friend gets a start on what is, I pray, a truly rewarding and successful career as a professional musician...
ReplyDeleteI know he does other stuff, but wow, first gig with the band is cool... I haven't heard any of his tracks yet either, at least you're one up on me there!
Having said that, he totally understands, he's just that kinda guy. Don't stress. Lets all try and get to the next one to support him!! We'll plan around it!
