Yike's! It's already 1:45pm on Tuesday as I type these words. Got a late start, but it's OK cuz I got a decent night's rest for a change. I'm just going to write some brief commentary (yeah, I've been saying that a lot lately) but since it's late in the day I seriously have to finish up here and get out the door. The weather's sunny now but there's a forecast for a thunderstorm in the late afternoon and I need to get my sound system from Citron to Las Tapas before it starts raining.

The cool news is that Jen made her soloist debut at Cafe Citron last night (Monday). It was also her first time to perform with a singer and despite a few on-the-fly choreographic adjustments, she really made an impact on the crowd. The stage is already small (8' x 4') but it feels even more cramped when us guitarists are seated right next to it (less space for arm movements) plus Jason has his cajon in the corner, people are crowding around the stage and walking past by. And to top it off, I don't think Jen was anticipating being blinded by the stage light.

These are things that most people don't expect when they perform their first time. TIP: if you plan to be making your debut sometime soon, checkout a performance in the venue where you will be dancing and take note of these "unexpected" factors that could detract from your concentration.
