It feels good.

After tonight's showcase, I got a chance to a) hook up a dvd player (mundane and simple, but at least I felt like I was doing something), b) jam with some great folks on stage with my bass running through the Ampeg 8X10, and c) play some mixes through the amazing $36,000 PA system. Ahh. I feel much more at ease and at home now. It feels good.
