The last 48 hours have been a revolution.
So as you have read (giggidy) I went to the Psyclon 9 show last night with Colleen and some of her friends and it was great! I didn't realize how badly I needed a show until I walked in on soundcheck. So in my usual concert expert style, I make my way up to the front of the stage right before the show starts so that I had a good view. They did a really great job...reminded me a bit of HITL, with a bit more electronics.
Well, being the good theatre major I am (was) I know the importance of feeding energy to the band. So I rock out (because I'm not one of those pretentious goth chicks who just stand in the back and stare) and the guitarist/keyboardist eventually steps forward to me and so we start jamming. And it keeps going...and I'm thinking "damn, this guy is cute." Hehehe...the lighting is balanced enough on both the stage and the audience that we can definitely make eye contact, so we have a blast and pretty much dance/rock together for the rest of the show. It was awesome. So by the show ends I'm pretty sure something is there, so I hang near the stage, and he immediately comes out and starts chatting with the audience. He eventually catches up with me and we sit down and talk for awhile and have a great time. He's really cool ass dude, and reminded me a lot of one of me and Heather's friends from freshman year (Heather, if you're reading this, imagine James with a green mohawk, lol.) It was cool because this guy was really laid back and just a touch nerdy - not at all your standard rockstar. So, yes indeed, we hit it off well, but especially in the feeling like I made a new friend, and not just a random hook-up.
But what really was decisive about last night was that I realized afresh how much I love this life style, and that I can do this. I've come so far already. So I made my decision. It may be harder than having a dedicated job, but I can do this.
And today clenched the deal. I had my interview and got taken on as a technician with a theatre in McLean. So I now will be making at least enough to live on now. It's not a huge income, but it's enough that I no longer have to worry.
And I can still keep with my music.
I win.
