the morning after

So Gene and I played at the Golden Nugget last night for the Las Vegas artist showcase. They asked us to come back next month and play again which was kind of cool. All the demo stuff I took was picked up by agents and scouts (if there really were any.....) or people who just liked our stuff. We were the only original artists in the whole thing. There were two Neil Diamond impersonators, a Tom Jones, a Rodney Dangerfield, the entire Rat Pack, a few things I'm still trying to classify, and then us. Everyone had backing tracks or full band or were stand up, and then Gene and I walk on, plug in two acoustic guitars and play original stuff. Very surreal and very fun.
When I got home this morning I saw a comment that was posted on my blog from annonymous who mentioned a book from the SDA book center or something like that. If the anonymous person doesn't mind answering a question, I was wondering if the author was SDA? I used to be an SDA minister and left the denomination so I don't put any stock in SDA writers. I thought it was either a very strange coincidence that a person who knows about SDA's wrote to me, a survivor of that cult, or this person knows I used to be SDA and is trying to 'influence' me back in. (Being an ex-SDA makes a person a little paranoid....it comes with all the 'theology' they try to teach you).
Anyway, it is the morning after and I'm sitting down to study again. For anyone interested in seeing us perform again, it is June 21 at the Golden Nugget showroom in 'beautiful' downtown Las Vegas. Chow.

school sucks

o.k. i'm in school...appraisal school....every evening until 10 p.m. all day i'm at home studying and then all evening i'm in school. i'm learning all about 'delayed gratification' through this process however. i'm learning that i have to finish this school thing in order to actually start making some serious money. so, for any of you who know me and wonder where i have been or why you haven't seen me for a while.....you probably won't for a while longer, unless you come to the golden nugget tonight at midnight and watch Gene and I play at the Las Vegas musicians showcase.
