Hi everyone!
Summer is well under way now, and I'm finally settling into my rhythm here in Easton. This is the first summer I've spent here since I went to college. I'm enjoying it immensely.
As soon as I got home, I started an internship at Coffee East, which has become a venue for surprisingly amazing acts. It's really strange and awesome to have so much talent coming through our little town, and I get to mix the sound for them. I've never been a sound guy before, but I learned pretty quick after a trial period involving a lot of eardrum-piercing feedback. A couple of cool bands you should check out: Carney, Judd & Maggie, Catie Curtis. I guess they stop by while they are playing in D.C., Baltimore, or Annapolis...they are all national acts and its a great internship because i get to rub elbows with people doing what I want to do.
Coolest thing about it: I get to play music here too...I opened for Catie Curtis, and I'm opening for Mark Bryan (of Hootie and the Blowfish) this Wednesday. If you're around, come check it out! Coffee East at 8 pm. It's a really exciting opportunity for me.
I'm looking for gigs to make a little money playing music...I just got one at a hotel near here and bluffed my way into a 2 hour set, even though I don't know 2 hours worth of songs. I will by Wednesday! I hope.
I'm also going to be a waiter/prep cook at Key Lime Cafe. I'm saving up some money for Semester at Sea next semester. Did I mention that? I'm going around the world on a boat in the Fall. Expect some particularly colorful Tien Beats starting August 26th.
I'm actually standing in the back of the coffee house right now behind the sound board...better get back to work. Hope all is well! I'd love to visit all of you east coast folk while I'm here, send me a line.
Love,
Tien
