Everything about this video is so Berkeley. Everything I really like and everything that drives me crazy about this town sometimes, right there. And some nice shots of Berkeley, too!
Last night, my friend Greg and I played at an open mic night at an Irish pub in south Berkeley called The Starry Plough. Well, Greg played the 12-string acoustic guitar, and we both sang. It was really, really fun, and I think we'll do it again soon. I hadn't sung in front of people in literally years. It's such a rush, and I wasn't nearly as nervous as I thought I would be. Probably because at every open mic night at the Plough, there are some people who are terrible beyond belief. It really would be a challenge to be the worst act at the Plough, so that's a confidence booster, right there.
