How'd it go then...? :popcorn: :toast: :rimshot:

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Hey all,
It was great! We all made a few mistakes here and there, but overall we had a blast.
I was being a bit rough on myself - these are all brand new originals, some of which were still being pieced together days before the show.
After the first couple songs, the nerves went away and just had a great time being on stage with my kids.

It was also somewhat rewarding to haul a truckload of gear and actually get to play - usually, I'm the roadie.

Thanks again for the encouragement and tips!
Steve

That's awesome, and I'm sure it meant a lot to your sons.
Glad to hear you had fun.
