The Diary had their first gig at a coffee house in Lafayette last night. They did really well! This isn't Hayden's first band so he is a seasoned pro when it comes to performing. But this was Melanie's first. And she did very well! I know she was nervous, but it didn't show at all! I'm very proud of them.
Eric and I drove down to watch and I took pics for their myspace. Hayden's parents were there also taking video and being supportive. Yes, we were the oldest and only "old folks" there I think. LOL! A good time was had by all!
One thing Melanie has always wanted to do was to be a writer. So it is very cool to see her using these skills in a very practical and positive manner! I have to admit, there was a time when I did encourage her to have "something to fall back on." But I wonder if sometimes I do my kids a disservice by saying this. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying The Diary will get a recording deal next week. But I wonder what happens if we plan for failure. KWIM?
Ah, this rocks, E!
I totally get it...I say go for it as far as she can - yay Melanie!
