After many weeks of practicing, the band finally has a gig! Well, sort of. They're playing at my sister's backyard birthday barbecue (a BBBQ!). It's not a paying gig and there aren't going to be agents there or anything, but I think the kids ought to make some noise before a friendly audience before heading out and playing for a disinterested crowd. I still want the kids to think it's a big deal (even if it's not really) so I want to find people to attend. I'm going through my address book, checking out my alumni directory from school, etc. Just regular people. The BBBQ is next month so I have plenty of time to pad out the guest list. I'll definitely be cooking my famous jello sundae for the party! Hopefully the kids have a lot of fun up there, not taking it too seriously. I don't think they should. They're a good band but not all dreams come true. If they get disappointed I'll just show them that there are alternatives to happily ever after. Because there are. Man, can't wait for the party!
