About Me

Twelve strings of death
Posted on Sun Oct 05 2003  

So, it's official. I'm going to be taking over the responsibility for keeping The Supers website updated and current. Graham's going to think about what he wants to do with the newsletters because the program he's got to do them is for his mac.

It was kind of strange last night. I've always been *friendly* with the guys and chatted a bit but never anything like last night. Graham and I chatted a bit through the night off and on, mostly bits about getting me a password for the site. Gave him some photos and we talked about the last shows they did earlier in the year. Then I helped him take equipment out to the van. Nothing totally out of the ordinary. But when I came back in with him, I stood at the back of the bar and talked with both of them for ages. And it felt different than usual. It was significantly less band/fan than it's ever been. It was just like talking to any of my friends. It was all about music, ideas for the site, bookings and ideas for the Halloween show. I enjoyed that just as much as I enjoyed the show itself. It's a strange feeling though, to have the dynamic shift so suddenly. To feel so - included with the band plans. It was hard to adjust when the dynamic changed with Fearing too though. One day he's an idol of mine that I can't even speak coherently to, and the next one he's sending me goofy emails full of bad musican jokes. So odd.

This is a place in my life that I've dreamed of being in - of course, I made more money in my dream but hey. *g* Money isn't everything. You hear people talk about dreams coming true - it really does happen. This is mine - to be involved with the music industry at a grass roots level. To back a band that I really believe in and have the ability to help out and become friends with some very cool people in the process. And Graham just handed me the opportunity.

Now there's real excitement back in my life - that uncertainty that's exhilerating. I've got no idea where all of this new stuff is going but damn, it's making life interesting. That's the name of the game. It goes back to the promise I made to myself a few years back. Here's a New Years Resolution for you. Do at least one new thing every year - something you've never done before. It doesn't matter how small it is. Go somewhere you've never been before. Find a new experience. I've been doing this for the past 5 years now. It's the best thing in the world. My new experience for this year is now here. I've got idea where this path leads. That's part of the fun! :)
