Making notes

Been working nonstop the past 24 hours to get things ready for the show next week, haven't been this exhausted in long while. Managed to finish recording and mix 5 songs for the EP and hand-make the cassettes. The new batch of T-shirts also got delivered today (after I voted, but before I went to the laundromat), 2 designs available, Patsy Cline and Matthew Modine, in all sizes.
I was suffering from the worst tension headaches I've ever had the past few days but I think they'll abate now.
All I've got to focus on now is rehearsing with the band and making sure the whole night goes well.
I think I feel the proudest I've ever been. To write the songs (with the lyrical and percussive help of my good friend George who I couldn't have done any of this without), to record and mix them myself, to handprint and produce the cassettes, to organise a show all by myself, to spend £400 on all of it and not mind one bit because all I want is for people to enjoy it all and to have a good night.
If anything positive comes from it that will be nice but it feels good to not even mind, the whole process has been a reminder that with a bit of effort I can express myself and enjoy it for no other reason than to do it. I would love to be able to do this more often.
So come along if you can, I think it will be a magical evening.
