So tonight was my first performance since I released my album. I was nervous, I might've over warmed up, I missed some notes. The audio out my laptop might've been unbalanced, mudding up the sound a bit. But it was cool, I had fun. I enjoyed my performance. Maybe 10-15 people, tops. I appreciated the feedback, I enjoyed the experience. It was a open mic at QXTs. I'm shooting for my dream.
I definitely sweat, as I have hyperhydrosis(sweaty palms).
I welped up a little in my eyes, out of nervousness. Knew I had to shake it off quick. This wasn't my first performance at all. Just my first as a solo artist.
For the first time, probably since I have mostly black electric guitars, I noticed blood from me strumming. The back of my thumb must've scraped the strings at some point and blood was spilled.
Tonight was a good night for me. I'm glad I followed through, despite any difficulty or misstep. It was a "fuck the bullshit" mentality. Fuck the perfect moment. I had to go for mine. It was indeed good practice Ca$h lol. Cash and I were talking about performances about 2-3 weeks ago and he was telling me how we should've went to a open mic that night and I told him, "No, because I want to practice more first, formally." I've keeping up with vocal maintenance and muscle memory of the songs on guitar. Now I'm going to let loose a bit for performances. I don't want to disturb my neighbors but I'm going to jam, some more. Might find a different spot next week to perform, out of habit and discipline.
I guess this is work time. I'm going to do my best out there.
