Axe and haghj500 -

Thanks so much for the feedback!!! Yeah, that's the most comfortable I've looked. Funny thing is on the inside I was really not feeling it and was disappointed that I forgot some key equipment. But, the show must go on!!

Banners, business cards, drum head...definitely on the radar! Good idea with the pegboard!! I don't know if it's customary to have signs or a banner and an open mic. Certainly we should have business cards on hand in case somebody shows interest like happened last week.

Kind of cool to think that next summer we could start getting paid :-). Not much certainly, but something!! Need to get the set list built up so we can REALLY put ourselves out there.

I sent an email to the rest of the band saying we got the music thing down pretty well now...so we should focus some energy on our stage presence. The best way I've seen it put, and I may have said it here already, is "aim to be a slightly more flamboyant version of yourself". This way you keep it real, yet interesting.
