The SF gig on Wednesday was a real treat! A whole gaggle of friends came out, and some even brought friends of their own! It all made me feel quite loved indeed. I was a bit nervous about my first local set, but as usual the negative emotions melted away once I got going and I had a positively splendid time. I think the set went about as well as I could have hoped, and since I yet again neglected to record anything, it will live on as such in my memory unimpeded by potential disagreement with reality.

As happy as I am that things went well, ultimately I think the best part of the night was getting to meet and hang out with a really friendly group of fellow electronic musicians. It was wonderful to find myself in the company of others who spend their time exploring the same territory I do, even if (and perhaps particularly because) our music and techniques differ so significantly from one another's. It's nice to feel part of a community, and I'm looking forward to getting more involved in this one.

Jump cut to present day: I'm writing this while auditioning the one-thousandth(ish) version of an old song in preparation for the perpetually-delayed album. I am committed to getting everything on my end finished by this weekend. It will be done. If nothing else, at least I've proven that the last five percent of a project can indeed take practicaly as long as the first ninety-five percent. Here's to the final push!
