My choir director told me about a possible paid gig with a church choir in Oakland.  I dropped by today to audition and somehow ended up committing to sing with them this Sunday.  At nine in the morning.

Nine in the morning. 

Those who know me will understand just how I feel about this.

It gets better.  I'd already made plans to go to Rocky this week, which I am not canceling because I only get to do Rocky a couple of times a year; since public transit doesn't run that late, I can only go when friends with cars are going, and my friends are a sadly infrequently Rocky-visiting bunch.  So, on Sunday morning I will be singing on no more than five hours of sleep, with a throat hoarse from two hours of shouting.

Let's all point at V and laugh, children.

Dont think of it as two hours of shouting, think of it as two hours of vocal warm ups ;)

Awww! Drink some nice honeyed drinks to soothe your throat, and best wishes for a great experience that outweighs the lack of sleep.

Amazing what we'll do for money, eh? I'm proctoring an exam tomorrow morning at 8am. Blah.

The sad thing is, I didn't get a chance to ask if it really is a paid gig or if my director had his facts wrong.

Maybe call them and ask -- seems like it'd be worth knowing (unless you really love singing in church on little sleep ;-)

I guess it wouldn't work just to stay up until 11 am or so on Sunday, rather than go to bed? :)

No, that wouldn't work unless I yanked my sleep schedule around several days in advance. Just skipping a night of sleep is just barely worse than skipping half of one.

Aah, you're still young enough to get away with this kind of crap. So you better hurry. :)

Maybe you're thinking of the 43? See http://www.actransit.org/riderinfo/schedules/40-NB-WE.html

Meep. Okay, so what I was doing was failing to notice that the early morning hours were listed at the top of the schedule. However, right now that's not terribly relevant since that bus doesn't go near where I live. I'll be moving soon to someplace it does go near, but at that point I'll be close enough I could almost walk anyway.
