Playing Footsie

scary_manilowLast night, yours truly made his BIG DEBUT in the world of ADULT ENTERTAINMENT.
That's right-- I allowed my disgusting little feet to be filmed for an online SQUASH VIDEO.
Actually, I'm not 100% certain about the "online" part of it... But seeing as how that's where most of these movies end up, it seems like a pretty safe assumption.
It's easy to see why my feet were chosen for their starring role. I mean, they're probably the most hideous looking pair of extremities in town. Don't believe me? Just look for yourself:
I have to say, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. And my feet have deifnitely been bitten by the acting bug... Thanks to some tireless self-promotion, one of them has already landed a role in the upcoming community theater production of "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof."
I've actually been losing a lot of sleep lately about this fucking jaunt to Nebraska that The Spook Lights are going to take (yeah, I know I'm supposed to write about this in the band journal, but I don't feel like making separate entries today)... We wanted to do a quick Lincoln/Omaha weekend trip, and now everything is falling apart. Both the Chatterbox and Duffy's in Lincoln have offered to let us play, but neither of them will let me know if they're able to give us the dates we need in October. O'Leaver's in Omaha hasn't even bothered to read our emails yet. Meanwhile, I've got two Nebraska bands hanging in the lurch, waiting for me to tell them whether or not we're gonna play these shows with them... The clock is fucking TICKING, and I'm convinced our band is going to come out of this looking like rank amateurs.
Is it always like this? Does every band in the world have to run in circles trying to book out of town gigs? Am I just going about it the wrong way? Or are the club promoters in nebraska just totally fucking incompetent?
Sigh... Maybe I just wasn't cut out for this job. Maybe I need to bring in an outside personality to take care of booking. I'm obviously too simple minded to deal with it.
