Open Mic Nite!

So, I sang last night. And it was awesome! Haha, not self-praising.. I'm talkin bout the experience.. A bar full of people and me, with a guitar and a mic and my hair put up into a multicoloured mohawk. Awesomeness! I sang "Spiderpig" (from the Simpsons movie for the many people who didn't know :P), "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, the chorus of "Rehab" and "Sugar, we're goin' down" by Fall Out Boy.

I was soooooo nervous goin up. My knees were kinda goin weak, and my mouth was goin dry.. The sound system wasn't great so I couldn't hear myself sing - all I could hear was my guitar :P

So, I get up there and put the guitar on, and start playing a chord :P And people started cheering - but wait! I hadn't adjusted the mic yet - so I had to stop playing. And the cheering stopped.. Anywho.. I adjusted my mic - with Steve's help and got on my way singing..

I think I half mumbled the first song :P Kinda shocked at the sound of my own voice - it looked like the crowd went quiet.. "Is my singing that bad?!" Haha.. Hope not.. Anyway the adrenaline kicked in and I just got into performing :) Sang the rest of my songs, and people sang along :) Most my friends and classmates have never heard me sing/play the guitar before so.. Yeah.. I got my ego stroked - ALOT. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Whenever I think of it - I can still feel the adrenaline buzz! Can't wait for next year! I have to start thinking of what songs to sing now :P Haha, plenty of time to practice ;)
