Guitars Unplugged

So life has been crazy busy this last week. My two friends and I got into Guitars Unplugged (one of the biggest concerts of the year). Over 250 acts tried out, and we were one of a few chosen. They had 14 acts play on Thursday and 14 on Friday. The judges then chose their 15 favorite bands to play on Saturday for the "Best of Guitars Unplugged." We were in the Friday group and I don't think I've ever been so sick to my stomach from nerves in my life! I felt like we played really well despite being nervous but I wasn't certain that we had made it to the "best of" show. The directors of GU told us that we would be getting an e-mail Friday night to let us know who made it to the Saturday show. The e-mail came but we weren't on the list. We were all pretty bummed, but life moves on. Then Saturday one of the directors called my house and said that my band made it to the "best of" show but our name somehow got left off the list. It turns out that we were actually one of the highest voted groups so we were able to play Saturday. The show went really well and I wasn't nearly as nervous. The entire Hart auditorium was sold out! I think it holds about 5,000 people. Thankfully the lights were so bright we couldn't see any of the audience so I think that helped me stay calm. Overall, I think we played pretty dang awesome, and I'm so glad that I was able to experience it.
