Yes, you find inspiration from the simplest things, like guitar picks! Are they custom picks or can you tell what brand and thickness they are?

Good luck with your bass player. Hope things get off the ground for you.

I'm a bit anxious about our rehearsal tomorrow night to get ready for our gig on Friday. I'm hoping for a feeling of "OK, we got this, no problem" rather than "OMG, who are we kidding, we aren't ready for this!" :-).
