Ok everyone, I invited y'all to come see our "Pink Floyd: The Wall" show
on Friday night. I just finished my first ever stage appearance. What a
rush! I sang only one line, and didnt really "sing" it at that.

Here are some great pics taken by our "fans" (we were completely sold
out - but, thats only 100 ppl).

Here's Me (Grey shirt, fore ground):

I did the stage layout, the banners, the video work (including that
giant hammer logo).

I cant sing, and after working with people who CAN sing, I got a new
appreciation. Its HARD. Its really hard to stay on "pitch", and stay on
"rythm". I had no idea.

It became really clear after a rehearsal last week. As I was packing up
my projector and laptop, one of the singers gave the high-five, made
small talk, and I said something like "you guys are really amazing,
singing is alot harder than I thought". He looked at me, laughed and
said, "no, the sh1t your doing is HARD - I'm amazed at the video, how
did you do that?"

Mike, congrats on the show! I have to say, being on stage is fun and
scary and a little unbelievable all at the same time -- I've done it
myself more than a few times, but never with anybody famous or even
particularly talented.

One of my fondest band memories is singing Traffic's "Low Spark" for the
first time in front of a crowd of maybe 150 people (looked like 150
billion from the stage!) -- and when you see the people getting into
what you're doing, it turns into this weird sort of electric symbiosis
--

I agree with Scotty, you're entitled to brag all you want!
