Soundchecks

This is probably one of the most tiring days I've ever experienced in 2010.

Woke up and prepared for college, had 6 hours straight today. 8.30 - 2.30. I really dislike Fridays.. urgh.. Waiting for Gazi's mom to fetch us home, got back to kk around 3.30. There was barely any time to rest as I rushed back home to prepare for practice at the local studio. We had booked a session from 3 - 5 pm but we only made it there around 4. Curse the jam. Practiced.. and practiced.. all the way to 5.30pm. Turns out auditions only provided 1 guitar amp, and we needed two, last minute entrance by King Yang xD.

Went back to his place to collect the extra amp and equipment. By the time I got to Sam's place it was already 5.45. So yeah, we left around.. 6.. Which is when auditions start, and awesome enough, epic traffic jam all the way to summit, from kk.. nonstop. URGH. Reached the place at 6.45. Kinda late.. =.=

So we rushed to register and wth.. our band wasn't on the list! :O Nevertheless, got that over with and joined the audience. There were a couple of bands that were quite good. The one who did Sweet Child O' mine, another band which played Use Somebody, another good 1 played TiRo (woot muse song!). Another notable band played a Jet song, although I missed that one completely cause I went for dinner. Oo oo and and and a rock rendition of Tik Tok! Didn't have the chance to eat or even snack on anything since 12.30 and it was already 9. You can only imagine the HUNGER +___+

So yeah, glanced at watch.. 10.30.. WTH!! And it still wasn't our turn. After a little discussion and sorting out we were allowed to play, at 10.45 and we were the LAST band. We got rushed during soundchecks. Still have a few kinks we need to sort out, the mic was too soft and I ended up playing too loudly. Treble too sharp =.=

AHHH.. Well it's all over now, only can hope for the best..

And I'm sick of being chauffeur.
