That's right, I've been outselling my comrades at the new shop almost everyday. To be honest, I am given a bit of an advantage in that I am normally near a lot of the accessories which is what we sell the most of, but even then, it's a nice feeling to do a good job. Sometimes I worry about becoming a sleaze ball salesman a la Robin Williams in that stupid movie with Tim Robbins from the 1980s where Robbins violently takes over a car dealership because his girlfriend is cheating on him. I know it is unlikely, but I also know that I won't be a salesman forever, and that probably makes it easier to bear (bare?).
Things are going pretty well otherwise. I'm quite satisfied with the tune I posted on Wednesday. I know that there are few things that could be improved, and I will work on them in the next tunes that I record, but overall progress is being made, if slowly. However the band is no further a long as we still lack a drummer. We've had a few nibbles on ads we've posted, but nothing concrete. It doesn't help that all three of us have been relatively busy. It's hard to be a music collective when it is not your primary concern. That being said, I'm not down about it, because I'm mentally focusing on my own stuff, which I find easier to deal with.
So that's about it for now. Tomorrow I'm going to check out a friend of mine play a show at the Old Queen's Head in Islington. He goes by the moniker "The Great Sojourn", and I will write a full review for you in the near future.
