The mic / stool setup would have been difficult to accomplish.
It's a nice stage, too. With a great sound system and lights (thank you, University of Kentucky), but I just panicked.
And I left my guitar at home, because I got cold feet before I even went and was going to support my friends...then my buddy Roger was all, "Dude, you can play my guitar..." and it's a really ****ing NICE Martin acoustic. And I still couldn't do it.
I'm spending the next three weeks motivating myself to do the next one. Even when people were awful, they got applause. I'm just too much of a perfectionist, and forgot the lyrics to "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" which was my main reason for not doing it.
