More Yeeha!

What a strange gig. I knew it would be unpredictable, and it was. Apparently the event planners thought the drummers who performed before us were too "loud" and drove the guests away. I think this whole shindig was supposed to be a schmooze fest, and it's hard to schmooze when people are playing drums. They asked us to be short and sweet, and then short, with talking in between, and then some more sweetness, and then more short. We ended up only playing 3 songs with an audience participation section. We cut Kai to Ryu. Phew.

It was funny because before the performance a lady was talking to Janet, and I was standing next to her looking off in another direction, and when I turned toward them, the lady exclaimed that me and Janet looked so alike and she could totally see the resemblance and were we related? Funny! We don't look a thing alike, except for maybe the hair a little, but even then, no one has hair quite like me, except maybe my little brother. And then later, another guy looked at me, and then Janet, and was like, So are you from Japan? Did you study this in Japan? Do you see where I'm going with this? No further comment necessary.

We got paid well for our 25 minute set. No complaints.
