sleep is overrated

been in and out of towns for 2 weeks, thought i'd get a day off tomorrow but my plan was changed by 1 email i've got a few days ago at 3am.
was contracted to play at the Jeff Beck/Eric Clapton show. i think it's only the Beck part. without a doubt, i said yes to the email at 4am.
then the next couple of days i had to reschedule my students and a client meeting to next week.
this gig better pay well. or else i'd lose so much money, and sleep.

thought it wouldn't be a pleasant trip this time, but i felt renewed.
first off, i left my foundation kit at home. so spent $65 in shoppers to get replacements. turns out the Vichy stuff is pretty good. i think i'll keep on getting it. it's cheaper than the mismatched shade i got from mac.

then the rehearsals were tiring. i didn't look at the stuff beforehand, and found out we're playing Symphonie Classique... first thing in the morning after a 2 hr drive.
good that i've had my breakfast this time.
Alain Trudell was guest conducting. he's such a nice person and conductor to work with!
we were all confident about our entrances, the concert sounded awesome!
normally that doesn't happen, with... yeah. this place is too public to name names.
only positive stuff goes on my blog about work.
back to Alain.. he made me miss Andre! hope he'll be in Montreal in june when i visit. but i highly doubt it. must be either extremely busy with students or off to festivals.

k, now i gotta figure out how to get to the ACC without costing me an arm and a leg.
leaving in... 6 hrs?
that'll give me 5 hrs to sleep.
hurray!
