So much to do...
Music: "An Irish Christmas" (Moya Brennan's Christmas album)
~ Ventura: Driving was okay on the way there except for the rain part. It was nice to see the city w/ a little daylight left, too. I got there a good hour early, which was necessary, as my reed needed some serious help. The concert went well, too, even though the "stage" was really hot. Tuning was a little less than stellar since I was actually a little high, but couldn't hear the keyboard's A. I think I made some contacts since I got asked if I had a business card...I really need to get those done over break. I've never seen a church packed so full so early for a performance. It was weird to be playing in such a musically inclined church w/ real musicians, good equipment, and be getting paid to play. The drive back was stressful in that it was pouring rain the entire way and people out here don't know how to drive very well in rain. It's not really their fault, but is still a pain when they're 20 under the speed limit when 5 or maybe 10 below is actually needed. Bah humbug! I almost went off the road when I passed this truck that was in the LEFT lane (WTF?!) and got a wall of water on my windshield for a few seconds...very scary.
~ I'm slowly, but surely getting all of my finals done. I just need to buckle down tomorrow and get them mostly done. I just don't want to do them, dammit! They shouldn't be that hard, just time consuming. Oh, and I have to sign up for a jury time...
~ Adam, I missed seeing you today! You always brighten my day, but I hope you had fun w/ Erica.
~ I'm driving down to Santa Monica to meet Moya Brennan tomorrow morning...more on this later...I'm tired.
