missroseroseI now have something I can add to the list of "things random dudes have handed me in bars": A $10 bill. I guess he liked my singing/dancing...? Better than plagarized song lyrics, I suppose.
To be fair, I was feeling pretty on top of my game today. There wasn't much of a crowd at the Viking, which might have helped me be less nervous singing, or maybe I was feeling confident due to having (along with Brian) pulled off a successful first radio show. Either way, I was feeling pretty rocking, both on karaoke and the dance floor. I'm just sorry there wasn't more of an audience to see it. Although when we went to the Imperial (which has a better dance floor, but no karaoke), there were a couple of guys sitting by the edge of the dance floor I managed to keep pretty entranced. There's a definite ego boost there, having someone's undivided attention like that.
Monica was there, and a new friend of hers called Ben, who seemed pretty cool; he reminded me of some of the guys I used to hang out with in high school. We had a good time dancing together - I took turns dancing with him, and Monica, and then both at once. I think I intimidated him a bit at first, but he soon got into it and we all had fun.
The show this afternoon went great - thanks to everyone who listened and/or requested! Brian handled most of the technical stuff, although I assisted and did a couple mic breaks. Thanks to the giant KTOO library, we found some good blues-y and jazzy music, including a track called "Dumpster Blues" by a group named Watermelon Slim and the Workers. I may have to track that album down; any dude who does a blues song about a garbage truck driver is probably worth listening to.
I did have a couple other things to write about, but I should really get some sleep. So tomorrow (later today?) I'll tell you all about my new makeup, the yard-sign war going on near our house. For now, adios.
