I went to the gig at the Cakeshop last night, had to psyche myself up somewhat... I was half expecting dirty looks, people whispering behind my back and confrontations with band mates. Nothing like that happened. It was all fairly low key, I didn't smoke or drink anything apart from a fruit smoothie at the Ed's Juice Bar window. I did a couple of drawings in my notebook - I'm thinking of enlarging them by photocopier and colouring in.
I emailed an apology/explanation to _____ - hopefully she accepts it.
There's a lot of work to do today on sponsorship proposals & funding applications & Paekakariki gig promo for Oct 14th. The guy from the council seemed to think we'd have a decent chance, and also recommended putting on a show in Civic Square. I'd love to do that.
And I spent yesterday morning making some notes for a novel I could have a go at writing over summer. It's set in the early NZ colonial period, so would take a lot of research. Maybe a good way to keep the brain focussed, and give a goal to my library reading. I'm reading Janet Frame's Faces in the Water and a James K Baxter anthology at the moment so on a NZ literature buzz.
Horoscope for today sez: "A younger person will be surprised when you take a new tack and refuse to bow down to the guilt trip they’ve been inflicting on you. Take a bow for extreme bravery under fire. For you to win the war you have to win the battle first. You are about to get to first base with a loved one if you are firm and fair and talk true. "
