As the trip to Memphis approaches, Mitch and I are playing local shows to gain some more money for the trip. Last week we played at the Juneau County Economic Development Corporation's annual banquet. When we were told that we would be playing there, we had only been practicing for half hour shows, which is what we thought this one would be but, when the flyer came out a few days before the show, it showed that we would be playing for a full hour and a half.

We went into this show pretty much only prepared for one third of the performance. We played for the full hour and a half and managed to not only impress ourselves, but everyone who attended the banquet. Senator Dale Schultz even requested a photo with us.
We ended the show for the raffles to begin, and… (que the flood of compliments) All the compliments we got that night were definitely a confidence boost, and really got me excited for the next show and making it better. Among all the good food and conversation, I think everyone had a great time. Last week's show made me realize something, Stepping out of your comfort zone can be the greatest learning experience one can have.
