James Big Night!

Well last night was James first time playing out with his band. We have been waiting for this for years! This is his favorite hobby.

First James, me, Jennifer, Brian (other guitar player) and Emily all went to dinner at Oliver Garden. It was a nice dinner and quiet without the little ones. Then we headed down to Jefferson City to Mikes Corner Pocket to get ready. We got there 3 hours before they had to play. The guys wanted to make sure they got there in time to set up and do a sound check. Plus they were really excited (and nervous).

The band played and the girlfriends and me(I am the only "old lady" of the group) all supported our men while they were jamming. It was really interesting because all the girlfriends names of our friends are my sisters names..Amy, Rebecca (Becky for short), Jennifer and Emily. That made it easy for me to remember names :)

My sister Noelle and her boyfriend, Andrew came out and one of James old roommates, Shane

and his girlfriend Becky also came out to support the guys. Thanks so much. I know it meant a lot to the band, especially James.

The band did really well. They had a good turn out for their first show and the manager really liked them. So well that they were asked back for a paying gig. The guys were so happy about that. Plus they want them to open up for a bigger named band! The manager even wants them to write a few songs of there own. So for now we are going to be widowers to the band. I said as long as they don't write songs about me I was good.

Here are a couple of picture from last night. I hope they turn out. Jennifer is going to send me more picture later and I will add them. I know those turned out good. My camera phone didn't do much justice. You can see James in one but the singer is blocking him in the other :)

I forgot to tell you that James is also singing backup. We are so proud of you, James! Can't wait to see more of the band playing in the future.
