I broke free on a saturday morning

First, a correction: Kerstan will not be playing drums. I'm not sure why I said that. He will be playing bass.

The Mountain Goats' show on Saturday night was pretty good. I wasn't too into the opening act...or the part of the Mountain Goats' set where she accompanied them, but I guess I can't dictate what happens at shows....unfortunately.

I've been practicing guitar quite a bit...in hopes that I don't make a fool of myself on Friday. Still not sure which guitar I'm going to play...Kerstan is pulling for his 3/4 scale classical guitar. I'm not terribly fond of it, due to the nylon strings...also, the reduced scale length is a bit hard for my monster fingers =\ I'm kind of torn between my pink Stratocaster and my steel string acoustic guitar. I think the Strat looks nicer and would be way easier (less bulky) to get to the show, but it would definitely require an amplifier (passing it into a mixer directly sounds kind of bad). The acoustic guitar would need some sort of improvised pickup, though. If I were to use it, I'd probably just use an electric guitar pickup as well as a piezo element based pickup...but I need to make a volume/tone circuit for each of those (plus a pre-amp for the piezo, maybe)...and don't know that I have that kind of time. I'll have to look around.
