Last night my band had a show at a place called The Blue Pepper in Salem. It’s a little coffee/wine/beer shop in downtown Salem that we’ve played a couple of times before. Quite a few of my friends showed up (and one of my friends was the opening band for us), and I had quite a nice time talking to them.
Two people in particular, Molly and Robert, were nice enough to come and support me. This is what makes them great friends. I’ve only known them a couple of years, but it amazes me how supportive and awesome they are. Really, it’s not a huge deal that a friend shows up at a concert of ours. We play a lot of the same songs and I’m sure they can get pretty tired of it.
But the fact that they show up, time and time again, as many times as they can, just to support me… well, I’ve got to say that I have very few people in my life with that kind of dedication. So, Molly and Robert, if you’re reading this, thanks so much for being there for me. And not just at the concert, but just being there for me when times have gotten tough. It means the world.
I also have to thank Eric, Andrea, and Matt for showing up. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to talk to Eric and Andrea, and I feel really bad for that. I will have to make up for it next time I see them. :-/
Tonight: We play at Mt. Tabor in Portland. Anyone reading this should come out!
