I’m missing LA’s Sunset Junction because I have to work at a show tonight.  I might have mentioned before that I work at the bar every Saturday night, but recently I’ve really missed having a social life on the weekends.

I could be going to a going away party for a friend.

I could be seeing some rad bands at Sunset Junction.

I could be sleeping.

Not tonight.  I have work.

How did I get into this, anyway?  This job doesn’t make me any money.  There’s no money in music.  And I can’t train anyone to replace me because nobody wants this job, especially if it doesn’t make any money.  And the more unsigned bands we welcome into the bar, the more I want to be on stage myself, but have no means of doing this because prep for this bar already takes up the time I would have used to perform.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I sacrifice my social life so that others may have one.  I sacrifice my desire to be on stage so that others may be in the spotlight.

I wonder if this says anything about my personality.

Oh well.  At least I know at least one of the bands tonight will be good.
