My First Gig
« on: March 10, 2006, 06:28:15 pm »
**** So, I have been doing the Open Mic at Highland Grounds - for 2 weeks..
and the guy who runs it, Mike... Just called me to do a gig....
He offered me a slot in 2 weeks but I declined knowing it was an awkward time to perform (11pm on a Wed). So, I decided on a future date in about a month.... YAY!!!! You all MUST COME!!!
****


04/26/2006 09:30 PM  - Highland Grounds (My First Gig!)  
 
Highland Ave (between Waring and Melrose), Hollywood, CA ,US -  
Cover is $5... PLEASE COME OUT and Support me!!!! This is my first Gig EVER!!!!! It would mean so much to me if you came and brought your friends... to see what I have been working so hard on the last few years. As of right now I will be supported by Miri who will be singing some backup for me and if anyone else wants to join us.... I WOULD be UBER excited to have some talented musicians come have fun with me! Ok.... so, I am just super excited!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!! xoxo

i'm sure they will offer that option
for now though you have one live recording on my myspace and some shitty home recordings too
myspace.com/stephaniepressman (linkage below in sig)

now GC....
do you fly out of sd?
my car is sick so i cant plan anything around her...
her engine light is on... and i havent taken her in yet
so i cant say whether i would be able to drive you
or what not... but you have to see me at least if you are on my coast...
that is just cruel
LOL
i havent seen you since paris and that's been nearly 2 years (in nov)
boo hoo  :cry:
