I’m sooo sleepy. Last night, our show with Annette was … wait… let me find a damned thesaurus. If I use the word “spectacular”, “fantastic”, or “amazing” again I may have my writing license revoked… you guys MUST get sick of hearing the same adjectives over and over and over again.
Synonyms MARVELOUS 1, amazing, astonishing, astounding, miraculous, prodigious, staggering, stupendous, wonderful, wondrous
Related Word eye-popping, sensational, striking, thrilling; dramatic, histrionic, stagy, theatrical
Okay – what I meant was that last night’s show at the Rusty Nail was … uh…. theatrical? We were eye-popping? Sheesh – Miriam-Webster’s on-line thesauras sucks. It was really, really good. There are a couple of things I’d like to go on about, but this ONE time I’m going to be PC and refrain. We had a great audience, a friendly host, a waitress who called me ‘hon’ (just like home!) – and a great show. We’ve landed other bookings out of it, places to stay, and even a festival.
But, last night, we were still booked to stay at the campground. I would’ve gone ahead and forfeited the $20 or whatever, but the tent was already set up… we HAD to go back and sleep in it.
So, 3am finds me tossing and turning in a nightmarishly humid Cape Fear night with what felt like a boulder, or perhaps a small tree poking through the tent floor into my spine. Insects the size of small airplanes kept sonicly bombarding us with their favourite mating tunes, and occassional breezes were only ever enough to remind us that the tent should’ve REALLY been set on a sail-directed turn-table.
Sigh. Four hours later, a heavy rain woke us up… and then there were the sirens, and the horns… Death.
We’re playing tonight on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, and I’m alREADY exhausted.
