Plain Days

The last couple days have been pretty plain, not bad, just nothing too exciting. The shows were great on our part, the audiences just haven't really been into it. But we have been drawing much bigger crowds on Mondays through Wednesdays which is great. I think the word of our band is spreading and it's getting more and more people to come out and see us!
I realized something a few weeks ago, with the help of my mom, I'm used to performing for people that are just there to see the show so they always cheer and are really into it. But performing here in this club people are all there for their own reasons like visiting old friends, getting drunk, pickin' up chicks, whatever, so it is our job to draw them in and get them to watch us. Sometimes though, no matter how hard we try they just won't have it and I have to remember that as long as I'm doing my best that's all that matters!
Anyway yesterday I was supposed to have a little photo session with Trina, I guess she has to take pictures of all my outfits to put on the website just so they can keep track of what everyone has. But Trina never really plans anything, she just mentions it and then expects me to be available all day for whenever she's ready. So I did my usual thing, gym, breakfast/lunch, shower and then just watched some TV waiting for her call. Finally around 3:30 she called saying that she needed to use my computer to download photos onto her portable hard drive, but didn't mention the pictures. So I told her that's fine and waited for her to come down to my room. She came down like half an hour later, and while we were loading the pictures she mentioned something about the website not working right now or something so we weren't going to take the pictures today. I was fine with that because I didn't really want to anyway. She left my room around 4:30 and I went back to relaxing. Then when I was just about ready to head to dinner a couple hours later she calls me again. "Can we take your pictures for the website now?" Is this a joke? Why didn't we just do it when she was here before? Ahhh, that's so annoying to me. But of course being the nice accommodating guy that I am, I said sure. To top it off she didn't end up coming down to my room for like another half hour, I was about ready to call her and tell her that I was heading to dinner since she was taking so long. Finally she arrived, we took the pictures and that was that. I'm so glad to be done with that for now. But now she's going to have to come use my computer again to put the pictures on her hard drive so I'm just waiting for that next fun phone call!
Well I think that's about all the excitement for the last couple days. I have rehearsal now in about 20 minutes so we'll see how that goes. Wish me luck!
