just keep talking, everyone doesn't hate you yet
Rock show, school cafeteria style. No monitors. "University" of Vermillion=ghost town.
Still, a cool crowd showed up to listen. Unfortunately, I had to talk.
This is becoming a problem. Recently we have been working loops into our set to move between songs. That way I don't have to talk. We did not have anything for Saturday night. Witty stage banter is not my strong point. The show was a benefit concert for the West Memphis 3. I believe I told the crowd to support us instead by buying our merch so we could afford gas for the drive home. I said the wm3 weren't going anywhere anytime soon. This brought an extreme "ooohh" from the audience. I also said something about the crowd worshipping us, among other things.
Real classy, huh?
Well, all I can say is that I cannot be held responsible for things I say during a show. My mind is just not in its correct state. I will reason it like this:
A sleepeater show is a baring of the soul, and my particular soul seems to be dark and rather unpleasant. This may lead to some interesting music (for some), but the rantings should stay deep down where they belong: buried far beneath polite political correctness and appropriate behavior deemed necessary for people to "like" you. So I vow to never speak again, ever.
or until our next show.
