The Venue and Ventnor Coffee

After The Spider played at The Venue is Campbell Hall last weekend. I've never played there before and really liked the place. It is affiliated with the Live2Create Project which uses proceeds to provide musical opportunities to children in need. http://live2createproject.org/ We were lucky enough to pack the place with our fans, so we played to a very large and friendly crowd. We did about ten songs and sold a bunch of shirts, so it was a really great night. Thanks to everyone that came out. We felt the love! Tomorrow night, we're playing a Battle of the Bands in Ventnor, NJ, which happens to be my mom's hometown. We probably won't know too many people, but hopefully we can make some new fans! We're scheduled to go on at 4:10, so stop Ventnor Coffee and check us out.

Bittersweet Night and New Beginnings

Last night was my last performance with the WVMS Guitar Club. It was so much fun to jam on stage with my friends. The show was sold out and everyone I knew was there. I'm going to miss it so much. It's the one activity where practices are as much fun as the show. It's been my favorite part of Middle School. I can't believe it's over. I'll still get to see Conor play in it for two more years and there are some really talented 5th and 6th graders I look forward to watching the next few years. This morning, I was up early for All-County auditions, then drama practice. Then, After The Spider had a rehearsal. Even though I was wiped, we made a lot of progress on our setlist. We'll be at Jigg's Thursday night and we'll use it as a rehearsal for The Venue gig on 2/22 in Campbell Hall. I hope all of my friends and family will be there for that gig, since it's our first one in Orange County. I am also preparing for my solo set when I open for Cliff Eberhardt at Music at The Mission in West Milford on 2/15. It's my first semi-professional performance, so it's a big deal to me. I hope I don't disappoint anyone.
