I lost two comments when I was editing typos in my last entry. My apologies. Please feel free to re comment. Thanks!
Is most likely one of the most stressful things a musician can do. Sat. night was the annual birthday bash for one of the most respected musician in this area. There were 6 bands in the lineup and the place was PACKED. Any musician who was not booked that night was there.As it went, we were the last band to play, and we were the only 3 piece. All of the bands before us layed it DOWN, with at least 4 to6 members. Needless to say, since its been such a long time since I've played, I got a little intimidated. However, it was for nothing, because we kicked butt too. I will tell you, playing for other musicians is super stressful because you know darn good and well, they are most certainly going to hear every bad note you drop, so you had better hope you're on it that night. Seems we were, because we even got standing ovations! I also recieved one of the highest compliments I have ever recieved when the drummer from one of the other bands told me that I "was so in the pocket, it wasnt even funny." Comming from a drummer as good as he is is such an honour. And the birthday guy made it a point to pay me a compliment as well. I was so relieved and glad he had a great birthday! After that, the members of the other bands proceeded to buy all of us shots. All in all, it turned out to be a wonderful night and one that gave me a serious boost of confidence.And a night that gave our friend a very happy birthday. :) In truth, thats all that counted anyway.

Yay! Good for you! :)
Thank you.:) And you know just how it is too, considering you are a musician as well. How has practice been going btw? Are you making good headway?
Wow, that's really awesome hon :)
Thank you , Pandy. It was such an honour to share the stage with guys of that calibre and to see Ray enjoying his birthday like that. I am glad to have been a part of it all.
I have never noticed because I never looked at your pix .But now that I have? You seriously DO look like a man. No wonder it takes hours of prep time before you go onto cam... the constant low lighting. Rotflmao. It all makes sense now.

The army of darkness will never learn.Sigh.
For Celestial Wisdom is untouchable to you.You hallucinate visions of burning..but they will always be naught but a vision, created in your own mind.For the darkness that lay in these ocean depths, are unlike anything even the likes of you have ever seen.Tread carefully. :)

Rage of the sea is a force to be reckoned with. You go gurl:)
You know tho, I was reading his journal about all this, and its actually a pretty good saga..I m kinda diggin it. So I figured id jump in the fay too.
Fray*
He's not a bad writer, too bad he is such a douche.
lol HE got burned and hardly anyone of us noticed. We're just cool lol.
You know something DNG? I didnt know they had hit us either...thats why I started reading his journal... to find out what all the hub bub was about. Lol as it turns out, I like the whole idea and how vr inspired the story.PB, I dont know him other than him being another rater/blocker, of course, he got me along with everyone else . ($hrugs) And I see a LOT of peeps moanin n groanin about him. If he is a buttwipe, it really is too bad , because you're spot on. He does write rather well and using vr to inspire the saga? I hate to say,is kinda cooll.
Btw, you're right too DNG..you guys ARE cool.
for Houston soon. I am really looking forward to recording with Tim. The guy is such a professional...not to mention, an excellent musician. Funny, the drummer I had the honour of working with when we did the show at China Grove was named Tim too. Hmmmm, seems as though lately, the good drummers I get to play with, are named Tim. Those are only two examples out of 4 in the last 3 months.Whatz up with that.lol TIMMMEHHHH
Its off to China Grove for a day of music and fun. I was asked two days ago if I would be interested in coming in as a sideman
to play at a music fes.Heck ya! Soooooo, off we go.:D
COMMENTS
Ive never played with these guys before but it should be a lot of fun! I'm stoked
How awesome is that, bet you will have a blast!
Congrats on the expanding reputation and music career.
Thank you Cap!
Pandy, good call...I DID have a blast."D
Things have been going exceptionally well these days. My music has taken off enough to allow me to be supported by it and
I'm so thankfull, I just have to share it with ma friends here at the rave. I apologize for not keeping in touch as I should have but I hope you understand...I had to really focus , in order to learn 48 songs in less than two weeks. The hard work is really paying off now and I can continue to pursue my dream. I will post some pix when I get to a computer that has the capability. Thanks for all the encouragment and support! :D

Very exciting. Congratulations!
Ooo im so happy for you!!!*does a happy dance for ya*
Xoxoxo
Love news like this. Good luck with it all.
WOOT Woot!
Thank you! Its wonderful to feel good about my decision. I have done horses and animals for so long, I was really concerned if I still had it. But ive gotten so much encouragment snd support, its been amazing. Then, to get hired almost imediately after I made the announcment by one of the best, and top working bands.....well, its just far more than I had even hoped for.
Congrats beautiful!!!
This is so awesome! I love to see friends follow their dreams...rock on!
Thank you! I'm loving it.
awesome!
Its been quite while since Ive been here, Life has been good and full.Sadly, even after all this time, the same peeps are up to the same old crap.Funny, because the very ones who redundantly tell others to get offline and get lives, are the ones who are on this site 24/7. Sad. They contribute nothing to this site.Or to life in general.
Its no wonder people in the real world who encounter vampirerave see it as a joke..too bad...this used to be a cool site .

yep it's tireing.
Huggs girlie!!! XXX...every year u know the drill lol...
It truly is, DNG. Good to see you though. And thank you MD...I know what you are saying in your post...its a shame too.Its always the same ones causing grief...yet they are still here.I used to enjoy sharing here...but not anymore.Almost every journal is consumed with some form of their bull.
*hugs* Missed ya!!! It was quiet for a minute, actually...Never lasts though. Glad all is well with you!
Missed yootoo, trin! Good to see you. Thanks..things are great and my music is really moving along now. Sure hope youre doing well too... You still in school?
I MISS MY MERMAID!
And I miss my k-pop princess! SNova, is it that time of year? ALREADY??! lol
welcome back!
Welcome back Oceanne its always good to see the good people are around. I agree this use to be a fun site. I was just telling a friend the other day when I first started out on this site I was 16 years old . I dont know if I was scared or just had respect for Sires , I know I would never approach one , I guess it was like they were royalty or something. Now Newbies come online and have no respect for no one. I remember when flaming was a big no no. I had no idea who Admin was , I got suspended once for thinking I put up a graphic on my profile of a guy Vampire turned out to be a female nipples and all. Admin allowed me back after removing the graphic.
I read the VR manual even if I was going to do the simplest thing to my profile. Its was like admin was lurking around in the shadows making sure this site was ran tip top. Now people flame , threaten and even wish death to many here even for an unborn child. One troublemaker called an admin's child a really bad thing . What was done about it nothing. Only a journal entry about it. Admin now argues with unruly people either in their journals or the troublemakers journal.
These people laugh because Admin just sits there and does nothing , nothing but argue .Now these people are getting worse even spawning off more people into their little groups .This has been going on for nearly a year .
I am so damn tired of seeing hearing reading nothing but drama, name calling , threats . This is not our site any longer its the troublemakers site. I am afraid if something doesn't get done to stop it Cancer could just say hell with this shit and close the site.
Even one of admins posted a journal entry pretty much putting Vlad over the troublemakers . That was so freaking stupid and so unprofessional because Vlad sees it as praise .Just the other day 2 people was creating an account one girl just bought a 6 month pm. Guess what Vlad and his partner greeted them with a down rate and blocks , They both said hell with this crap and left.
Admin need to get this under control these people have been warned now it's time to state kicking them out one at a time. Drama, name calling , threats , cam attacks are getting worse and worse . Come on Cancer come on Admin kick them all out , no coming back unless they make new profiles . see how they feel losing profiles with lifetime memberships , or sire profiles . I bet next time they will have respect for all of us including and for our site.
Everyone is fed up , it will never ever get better unless stricter rules are enforced
It is good to see the halls of Vr still hold treasures such as yourselves.:)
I haven't been here as much as I use to be, but I miss you a bunch!
you should blame the admins and cancer they never should have let it get this bad
Neh, I dont blame anyone other than the idiots who behave the way they do.We are all personally responsible for the things we do and What we say.
Actually Milo, id like to see these idiots attempt to do a better job of it.They cant.Hell, they cant even manage their own lives without
hurting people and acting the bully.I could go on with great examples, but there simply are too many.Yes, it sucks sometimes that the idiots get away with some of the things they do, but that isnt admin's fault.They have to do as Cancer tells them, because its his website.And even though it might take a while, the idiots always get their just due. I cant say admin are my friends, (except one, and she will always be whether shes admin or not) cause I really dont know most, but they have a 99.99 satisfaction rate from my end, because they have always helped me when I needed it . And I know the idiots..and even those who arent, couldnt do any better than whats already being done. People really need to stop blaming them and start holding the idiots accountable for their bullshit.Cancer has given us pretty much free reign to do that..So lets do!
