Make a girl blush

Saturday night me and the assassins played a show @ The Lizard Lounge with HUMANWINE, and Bad Saints. I was in an intense mood going on stage, I don't know if I felt rushed or what, but I couldn't shake the intensity....Meredith and Matt were, of course, ready and excited to play and were smiling and having a great time. I loosened up eventually. Actually, I remember the exact moment I opened up....it was this part in 'Man Child' where Meredith holds this one note for an awfully long time and it's like heaven vibrating throughout my whole body.
We played three new songs 'Cellophane', 'Only a Year', and 'Oranges for Alcohol'. They went over pretty well, I thought, and after the show I felt pretty good. Not super great, but I thought the crowd was full, and attentive, and responsive. That's more than I can ask for.
However, I was given a lot more than I could ask for afterwards. Not only was the rest of the bill great, HUMANWINE were awesome as always, and Bad Saints rocked the socks off everyone, but I had people come up to me all night and say wonderful things. Maybe I should be immune to that by now, maybe I am silly and foolish, but it really means the world to me when people take the time out to say they liked the show and that they got what we were doing. The three shows I have played with my assassins have been such a pleasure, and I have a feeling that it's only going to get better. This is the band that I have been wanting for a long time, and I am so thankful they are hanging out with me. I need them like water right now.

So thanks to all that came to the show, keep coming to the shows, and take the time out to come over and say hi, or write me afterwards. It sounds lame, and silly, maybe even sophomoric, but it really makes doing this so rewarding. I would do it anyway, and have done it anyway, but that love and support is unparalleled.
