The "Let's Find Girlfriends" Tour was a success i feel. it was little weird for a bunch of reasons. but the main one i will focus on is, i did a lot of singing and songing and not enough performing. or rather more songs than performance than i usually do or would like to do or am comfortable with. but still the shows were fun.
03/01/09 @The Smell (Los Angeles, CA) w/Guitarded, Moment Trigger, Uggamugga and Creekbird PERFORMANCE INCLUDED: kissing men. monologue about feeling unwanted. SONGS INCLUDED: -ode to the old and hopeless -dress for success -tell yourself (gadjits cover) -plenty more (squirrel nut zipper cover) -i think you're beautiful -for andrew... -things everyone needs to hear -a serious song -dick -merry christmas justin cooper -its alright my set in LA was about 30 minutes long. 8 people came to see me which was nice and those folks were all smiles but the rest crowd was very weird and stand-offish. but i felt i won them over by the time i sang "for andrew..." and by the end most of the crowd was participating in my sing along and enjoying themselves. plus i sold a bunch of merchandise! SUCCESS! -------------------------------- 03/02/09 @The Lodge (Tucson, AZ) w/Andrew Jackson Jihad, Uggamugga, Great Job, Porches, Renato Parada and Serows PERFORMANCE INCLUDED: calling my dad to wish him a happy birthday. starting a dance party SONGS INCLUDED: -happy birthday stuart -dress for success -tell yourself (gadjits cover) -plenty more (squirrel nut zippers cover) -i think you're beautiful -dick -bromance (treasure mammal cover) -merry christmas justin cooper -it's alright my set in Tucson was about 20-25 minutes long (could have been shorter but there was a lot of talking and i am a snob when it comes to people not watching me). no one there has seen me perform before or knew what to expect or really cared that i was performing (aside from phoenix crew) but the crowd was so intense and fun either way and it seemed like everyone who watched me enjoyed themselves (outside of when i sang the song "merry christmas justin cooper" then there was a dead silence and a couple people just staring me down as if to say "that wasn't cool dude". but i hope i redeemed myself when i got everyone involved in a dance party/sing along at the end) -------------------------------------- 03/03/09 @The Trunkspace (Phoenix, AZ) w/Uggamugga, Michelle Blades and Magilicuddy PERFORMANCE INCLUDED: monologue about happiness, friendship and finding love SONGS INCLUDED: -ode to the old and hopeless -tell yourself (gadjits cover) -plenty more (squirrel nut zippers cover) -i think you're beautiful -for andrew... -things everyone needs to hear -dick -it's alright my set in Phoenix was just under 20 minutes long. i went from 9:40ish to 10pm on the dot. only 9 people outside of the 4 people performing showed up, so we had a nice intimate show with everyone on the stage with tristan and i. it was very laid back and unenthusiastic but that is ok, because i saw smiles on everyone's face. and everyone participated for the songs. and although during the sing along at the end no one wanted to go crazy it was still a blast. i love friendship tours! |
