I know I said yesterday that my friends were amazing. But again: My friends are freaking amazing. I was really touched by the turn-out for The Catatonic's first show last night. People showed us so much love, it almost hurts me.

Even the guy who owns the Big Horse said, "you girls have beautiful friends." And he gave everyone a free round.

That place is totally shitty, but in a kind of good way.

The show went well, I think. I was nervous so I couldn't really tell. Once we got to the breakdown part of The Invasion, I felt pretty good.

I've never been in a band where so much depended on me. With NES, our songs were pretty hard to mess up, and The and I pretty much played the same lines, so no one noticed when I did mess up. With Cuidado, Tim did the more intense guitar playing, and Brian's personality kind of stole the show (in a good way) so I just kind of bopped and played my power chords. But the way Lakshmi and I have written our songs it's really noticable if either one of us screws up, and the songs totally fall apart if either one of us misses a beat.

So with that in mind, I think we did well. And people seemed to like us. (If they didn't they faked it excellently. Did I mention I love my friends?) Anyway, yeah. It was a good time. I really love our band. Back to wooooork!
