West Indian Girl

well the show/glorified rehearsal started out like it wasnt going to happen at all. rob had some sort of stomach flu and was puking when we tried to run through the songs around 8pm. needless to say we were very close to calling all of our friends and telling them the show was off. tough shit though — by the time we thought of that bright idea it was too late. rob went home and tried to puke some more while we all just chilled out as more and more guests arrived. it was a real surprising and nice thing to have so many people come down. i would say 30 or so lucky people got to see west indian girl’s first .. live experiencewe only played 5 songs Still Lost, Monterey, Trip, Dream, and Hollywood because rob was just too sick. hey, the kid’s got heart though. for it being our first time in front of people i think it went pretty well. we definitely have some things to work on but it sounded pretty good. the vibe was all right – there was drinking on the roof and a party in the loft – can’t be beat chris jones our manager even made it down – good to see that guy out late. my friend todd brought his dog down so tony had his girlfriend there. i remember passing around a bottle of tequila at the end of the night. thanx to chris carter for getting the word out – he did a great promo job. and thanx to everyone that was there – you may not know it but this was a key moment in the history of west indian girl.i should post some pictures but i only took a couple and everyone was gone by then. i think scoot took some — i will try to get them and post em up. it’s sat night now and i’m just staying in tonight – we have practice tomorrow night. ok as far as these pics go the first one is of robert james this is after the show when he was feeling better, the second one is of john who played harmonica on the song trip, the third one is of mark lewis in the midst of us doing tequila shots , and the last one is of the lovely gable carr. can you say photogenic? — F.
