The CD release party was a mixture of emotions for me. I've kind of gotten over the whole OMG-my-son's-in-a-band now feeling and can just enjoy watching him.
The venue was a nice place. It is huge old barn that has been fixed up for partying. The upstairs is really nice - fireplace, large bar and kitchen, 6 bedrooms - they call it the VIP room. Down stairs it is a barn. period. The band was set up downstairs and I froze all night long. There is a nice fire pit outside but unless you were sitting on top of the freaking fire it didn't help any. So, I drank whiskey to take the edge off. I'm not much of a drinker so two Crown and cokes and I was feeling a little nauseated.
The band did good. Seth was awesome. The guitar player seems to have a little trouble staying on track with what Tildon is doing which really sounds odd.. when he just goes off into something else. I guess he is trying to add lead parts but it sounds like he is just playing a different song,which is just strange.
I don't think they had nearly as many people show up as they expected, mostly a middle aged crowd of family and family friends. Lots of women Tildon's mom's age and they were partying hard. Those women can drink and they were just having a blast. dancing, whooping, and hollering... and drinking!
Seth had his own bedroom in the VIP lounge. He was the first band member to get to pick and he chose the smallest room (he is so thoughtful and sweet) because everyone else had their wives with them. It was a nice room though, cowboy themed.
We left about 11 o'clock when the band took their first break. I was tired of being cold and didn't want to drink any more so didn't see much point in staying.
The band will play again tonight for the ranch's annual Halloween party. I hope they have a much bigger crowd and sell lots of CD's tonight.
Mark and Levi left this morning about 11:00 to go to the Ballroom. huge party there tonight, but, I'm gonna stay home and watch football and do pretty much nothing at all.
Hope you guys have a safe and fun weekend.
