MY FIRST SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dads wrestling league BLOWW, which has appeared in a few posts already, was playing during the halftime show of a roller derby yesterday, and their usual drummer for the side music couldn't make it. I was approached by my dad and the bassist, Ethan with an opportunity that I couldn't pass up. They wanted me to do the drumming for the show. Now because our only mode of transportation was a compact car, we could not transport the entire drum set, just a wood block and a crash cymbal so I felt a bit handicapped, but who cares? MY FIRST SHOW!!! It was so exciting, but at the same time, to make up for the lack of a full drum set, I wore my leather jacket zipped up, with gloves and a pumpkin mask. It got so hot after the first five minutes, but it was worth it. That was definitely not my last show, and I hope to wear that pumpkin mask for every one of them. If you want to see a picture of my ridiculous set up, scroll to the bottom of the page, I have some pictures of the show there.

  1. Post more pictures! How about some music clips? Sounds like a fun opportunity and perhaps the beginning of your ride to fame.
