I spent the whole morning on-line trying to promote my upcoming Fayetteville shows. Being a DIY musician is definitely a lot of work, very monotonous work. I don't think people realize just how much time goes into planning a tour, booking the gigs, making posters, and promoting the shows. I spend more time doing those things than I do actually performing. It would be nice to get a tour manager and booking agent someday, but for now, it's all me.
David and I are staying with my bandmate, Warren, his lovely wife, Jenny, and their two beautiful daughters, Freya and Johanna. While I was working on the computer, David was helping Jenny watch her 16 month old baby, Johanna, while Jenny made candles. David had a pretty good time with Johanna. They're totally friends now. It's pretty cute.
I also got to hang out with Emily a bit today. We listened to the recording that Dan made of our Reunion Show at the Greenhouse Grille back in November. Though it's not a perfect recording, it was nice to hear a recording of the full band. Can't wait to start recording the next album with them.
That night I played at Mojo's Pints and Pies. I had played there previously while I lived in Fayetteville. I played solo, and Emily, Tiffany Christopher, and a few other friends came out to see me. Tiffany got up and played a few songs while I took a break. She played one of her new songs for us, as well as a classical guitar piece. It just reminded me how much I'm looking forward to the Women Songwriter Circle with her and Carter Sampson this Saturday. Emily also got up and sang "Worst Enemy" with me. She sounded amazing, as usual. The gig at Mojo's was nice, and the bartender/manager on duty was very friendly and accommodating.
