New and old

So, I have been experiencing some new things, old things, and new old things lately. Obviously it is part of the whole moving to the real world thing after running out of academic steam.

First up, the new. I went to a club and actually had a reasonable time. I'm not going as far as to say that I am a dancin' fool, but once I got to actually participating instead of hanging in the dark like a saddo it was kind of fun (enough to not notice my friends leaving for Black Betty's). This is mainly due to me being on the prowl so to speak. I was by no means successful on that account, but I am working on my lady skillz so to speak (after a youth of being too shy, busy, or just plain doing it wrong).

The old is my lack of band success. I had on Saturday what I thought to be a pretty decent gig (albeit in North Freo). The basement is generally at least an ok crowd puller. I tried hard to put the word out (including local flyer distribution and reasonably popular bands). What I got was the same core group of 10 people and not much else. On the plus, we had 2 cameras filming it, which was good because we played well and the crowd isn't seen. Hopefully a good promo tool.

The new old is centrelink and having to actually do something for my money. I really hope I can get a vaguely relevant job (or anything) soon so I don't have to deal with them.
