Maybe throw in some acoustic blues...yeah. I like the idea. Of course, even playing in front of my friends makes me nauseated so I can't imagine what I would be like in front of people who don't know me.

Hmm. Can you say 'ugly scene'? Me sitting in front of a crowd more interested in their soy latte's, sweating, heart pounding, giant pit stains spreading out on my shirt...voice cracking...and the proceeding to forget what little I know.

Maybe I need to rethink this? :o

You know , i found it easier to play in front of 50-100 people i didnt know , than it was to play in front of 3 or 4 close friends

remember that the average listener wont notice little mistakes dont sweat the small stuff
