dance around

i'm tired, but if i don't do this now, i'll forget, or i'll get lazy and not upload all the pictures you want to see. (let me know if i forgot one, ashley, but these are the best ones i think!)

tonight marked the first time in two years i've played an official gig.  the kind where people have to be intentional about showing up for the purpose of seeing you.  and what a great night!  i don't have any pictures of myself, obviously, since i was a little busy...but i have great pictures of some of my friends who came out to support and love on me.  

that (and two glasses of smithwicks) really made me feel special.

while not as brave as some, we still had our picture taken with the mines as our backdrop.  there were at least two or three groups of girls who ran up to the stage for a photo op.

jenny, me and lisa getting ready to depart.

so if you don't know my sister very well, she likes to makes these drawings

(or drawrings, if you prefer) and she wanted to make a sign for me for tonight.  it's classic lisa.

i have three hairs on my head, am potentially projectile vomiting (but i think it's supposed to indicate singing) and the audience is really funny.  here's a closeup:

i love these guys.  and that's not the smithwicks talking.

i do a horrible dr. evil impression. perhaps i'm calling my mini-me...

ashley rules!

it looks like this picture was intentionally taken of three people.  it was not.  

dwight just naturally fits in wherever he goes :)

dance around!  (the troy hatfield way)

there are lots of lovely people that are not pictured above who came, cheered, and i got to hug.  the evening was full of surprises (i pulled out 4am by our lady peace, and simple kind of life by no doubt) and lots of people stopped by that i wasn't expecting.  that was amazing.

kate and jami, your words this week and your presence tonight were the coolest.  

i'm so glad i know you, and for many more reasons than this!

but not both?  whatever dude.

i'm sure there will be more pictures posted over on ike's blog.  hooray!
