Grace here- After 70 shows together, it feels so good to play to a new room of people at a new venue and have the whole crowd clap immediately and loudly after each song. We’ve even played some packed houses of people who all signed our e-mail list but for some reason were too embarrassed to clap- well not at the Bistro in Hayward. Rita, Mark, Kathy, Tim, Matt, JV, Fawad, Christian, Bob and Scott made it a fun night for us and I’ve never heard the band so tight before. We came up with a pre-show ritual after one of the longest band arguments in the car on the way there. It’s really the same argument we always have- and it concluded with some humbling thoughts on how hard we are all working to see where each person is coming from and what we can do to become more aware of our barriers we make to accepting the different forms of love we throw at each other. I thank Whitney and Joe for their patience with me. I thank Kevin at the bar. I thank “Virtual Insanity” and I had an amazing time. This is the feeling of hard work blossoming like a flower; this is the sweet part. Please say hello by commenting below!
