So today was a pretty epic day.
We wore ourselves out rehearsing the material into late last night.
Original drummer person couldn't make it to the practice so I called in my drummer Adam - I figured Adam plus Jon = good because that would mean Jon wouldn't be the only one riding up in a SUV filled with girls.

(So, Jon didn't have to wear a tampon just to fit in. HAHAHA)

Aja's parentals (They are the coolest ever, BTW)
drove us up.
It was me, Aja, Lisa, Tracy, Jen, Adam, and Jon.

Jon=Bass
Adam=Drums
Lisa=guitar
Me=guitar & vocal
Aja= Vocal.

To pull this together we had 48 hours or less to practice.
I probably made at least 30 phone calls between calling to get information for what was and was not acceptable for a very vague kind of audition situation.
I hustled til I dropped, and by early monday had secured a spot for Aja to sing and for Lisa to play, even though they weren't 18.

So I CAN'T really tell you everything that happened but given the circumstances I don't think it could have happened any better, or more amazingly. The KIDS were really amazing. They were flawless. I dunno how I did, but it sure FELT amazing. I was having a freakin grannnnd time.

Some people crack under pressure but I was like
WAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!

The person who set it up, he didn't really introduce himself to anybody else,
but he made a point to come out and introduce himself.
He said, "where is the group from San Diego?" and shook all of our hands
and met Aja's parents.

It kind of dawned on me later that he didn't make a point to introduce himself to anybody else except us. There were like 20 or 30 people lined up outside, but he just shook our hands, and that was it....so....I dunno man, I think its a good sign.

Annnnyyyyhooooo.
That's all I can say!
We have some youtube stuff of us practicing that we might put online for you.
