Valentines with Live and Unsigned

Valentines was so much sweeter than what I had anticipated it would be in the run up to the day. The band met on the top level of the Glasgow city centre car park in the open air to rehearse before our audition at 'Live and Unsigned'. My red dress clung tight to me as I enfolded myself in my 70's carpet coat. Luci and Doro looked fantastic in their matching black shirts and red ties with drum sticks and guitars in hand. I had my mic in my black shoulder bag and was slightly concerned as to how it was going to be set up once we entered the room. Practicing our harmonies over looking the city felt like we were about to shoot a music video with one crew member (our mate Ash, who incidentally had to drive off hastily to find my missing gift from Luci*see blog above). The Audition was fantastic later in the day we looked like a band spoke like a band and pulled out all the stops to present the best of Salon Society. The judges looked impressed one panel judge asked us how far we were along in recording our first album? (nice one) as we left the room I over heard the comments "good, very good". So why wasn't Salon Society selected? Oddly we left feeling a strong sense of victory and as we glided towards Pizza Hut I felt more like a rock star than I had before I went in. Un-logical as it was having not been chosen all of us had a sense we were further along in our band journey than what we give ourselves credit for :)

Later that day I visited Waterstones as my sister jokes if I feel a problem arising or am in need of an answer I hit the local bookstore. I picked up this booked called the secret which speaks about the law of attraction (fascinating stuff) from there my fingers fell upon a little black book called the 'book of answers' which I hadn't used before, asking in my head if the band will make it the answer I opened up was 'don't be ridiculous'! which in my opinion can be interpreted either way 'don't be ridiculous of course you will" laugh (well you got to keep going eh). Then I asked it "will we get a record deal?" the answer it gave was "maybe"(dead pan sigh) so having had this depth of insight into the bands future I read a bit more in 'the Secret' and carried my answers out with me.
