well, mikrofest xi was just at my house. i think we need to plan better next time. these things are surprisingly hard!

but people had a good time, for the most part. i think they were glad to be out on the farm. the night got started off roughly with a downpour on our festival, but it cleared up. however, most bands did not feel like playing on the outdoor stage/arena we created for the event, so everyone just played in the garage. and we were so very behind schedule all night. this got quite stressful.

my band is still a new lineup and we were kinda sloppy, partially because i was stressed, but i think we were really well-received, regardless. could get better in the future, i know. i should probably have my things on consignment in the local record stores because people seem to not bring money to these things, at night. i think they bring beer money, unfortunately.

sunday completely fell apart with all but one band that was scheduled to play canceling or not showing up, and everyone leaving around 8 am when things were scheduled to start at 11 am. there were a few people that biked out to the sunday show to no avail, but we played horseshoes and ate apples from trees instead and they seemed to enjoy that. we listened to
"the dusty tales" compilation that i am on, from europe, and it was really enjoyable. i have just recently discovered how much i love the comp.

i think i may be heading back to the dating game, only in a fun and light way. it feels better this way.
