I Loved Today

So; today was a good day.

Well it kinda started last night.
When planning kicked up a gear... turned up a notch... for my next gig, at Freedom on June 7th - a gig with Lance Horne (an emmy award winner i'll have you know) - an evening of his BEAUTIFUL songs featuring dear and exceptionally talented friends of mine - it should be a really fun night too as Freedom is complete with hot DJS, the occasional drag queen (gender illusionist) and POLES.. Bring It! Any bar/club with disco balls on the ceiling and pink velvet sofas; is my kinda place!
SO - that got me in a good mood and THEN I went to bed... slight interruption in the good news.. HELLO HUGE SPIDER...... IN MY BED...! NOT cool! So we (meaning.. me) demolished that badboy - then felt icky lying in the same bed it had been in.
Anyway... morning comes... alarm goes off anddddddddddddddddddd...
I started off by heading to an audition at Pineapple..
My Mummy says 'I wonder if you'll see Louie' - I was like AS IF................... first smile of the day was from none other than Louie Spence, looking very attractive as he paced around on the phone outside Pineapple - much calmer than on the TV but clearly a very definate fixture at Pineapple, all very real! (my casual smile played it cool but inside I was SCREAMING 'Louie Spence - I LOVE YOU - YOU LEDGE'.... However... I saved him the awkward situation) - I head through the doors to ask for directions to Studio 5 and there is that ginger boy that features, I didn't think I'd be fazed and I wasn't really but I dunno - it was just odd to be in the home of what is now a 'reality tv show' and to find that the reality is real! They were ACTUALLY WORKING and getting on with it! I LOVE THAT!
So head to audition to be greeted by some LOVELY girls - how rare. Sweethearts at an audition. One moody girl (always) but she was in and out first so whatever...
Anyway  - had giggles with three beauties, and then a UK Justin Bieber arrived to audition and basically I wanted to take him home 'good luck ladies' he said as he left.... I LOVE HIM.
...... He could sing too!
SO then audition is running late so we have to do a quick slot.. I scrap my original song as it takes a while to get going and picked one i'd not sung for a year! I ended up going into my audition with one of the other girls! Which was actually fun....
I sing - it goes pretty well for once (I HATE auditions)... she sings (she's amazing.. SO SOULFUL) - we sit down and get
'you two are fucking on the money. AMAZING VOICES' - well; this audition has gone well.
Turns out we're not right for the 'side project' he was casting for but he's an a&r and is scouting talent and raw vocal ability excites him more than anything and the minute something that needs 'perfect vocals' comes up - he's calling us.
HE continues to 'what a voice' me and I feel like fainting............ i'm so used to being rejected from auditions that I want to hug him and kiss his face.... (something is coming over me today)............ how nice to be appreciated for just standing up and singing for once.... and not feel like a puppet on a string.
So; then I had lunch with my best friend Jake - bought my friend Kimberley a top to cheer her up and sorted out tickets for us tonight to go see my BEAUTIFUL ANGEL Paul Spicer smash it ONCE AGAIN in Avenue Q tonight..... 3rd time... but i'm as excited as ever :)
He's SO special.
.... and I can't wait to see a smile on Kimberley's face.
ALSO managed to catch up with my old work girls... all in all... today was perfect....
I.LOVE.LIFE.
