winter returns

4 inches of wet snow yesterday, and about 8 inches of light and dry overnight. winter has decided to rear its beautiful white head again here in steamboat after a lengthy hiatus. the valley is sparkling, a powder day beckoned this morning, and i... came to work.

what a sucker i am.

in other news, big pants practiced today, and i sucked. our 6th practice, and things had been going so swimmingly. except for our first song we all played kind of ragged, and i had a serious case of "no confidence." which is crazy because we're all real supportive of one another. it was just one of those days. i wish it had happened last week, because tomorrow night is our first gig, and to have a bad practice the day before your first gig is a major bummer.

but, it's a gig in front of students at a school function, and they won't know any better when we mess up. students make great guinea pigs.

i just need to get over it, and keep reciting to myself that mantra made famous by twisted sister:

i wanna rock.
