My son takes to the stage for the first time tonight. Sure he has done plays, and musicals and nice safe school stuff, but this is grown up playing in a band in a pub in Derby. Shriek! I am full of maternal concern. What if he gets a bunch of beer cans thrown on stage, what if the crowd are hostile or worse - not in the slightest bit interested?
Lots of what ifs and I am expecting to have to patch up a bruised ego when he returns and praying that it wont be a bruised body as well (cans). He soooo loves his band. He plays bass and is the lead singer. From what I have heard of the practices I would not pay a lot to go and hear them. They are 17, raw, experimental -or maybe just crap. (visions of more cans) Or maybe I am just getting old, don't understand today's underground scene. I consider myself a trendy mom, certainly a MILF - in fact that was my title while he was in year 11 (much to his cringing embarrassment)but perhaps I am a teensy weensy bit out of touch. Perhaps there is nothing to worry about ... lets hope eh?

Relax QV, and be happy you raised a boy that wants to experience the ups and downs of life and not just watch them on the TV. (or read about them on blogs.)
C:)
Hey Craig, you are right! I need to stand tall and stop worrying. Whats a few cans compared to the experience of playing live. Carpe Deium! (May not have spelt that right - but you will know what I mean.)
You're not going to sneak in the back of the pub and take a look for yourself?
Guess that's not the thing to do.
Ooooh. Cant wait to hear how he gets on.
And the groupies he'll no wonder attract...
Kxx.
Unfortunately I had a client tonight, K so I could not go. His Dad has gone along to keep the peace, or join in the brawl should one happen (remember the footie?) So all I can do is wait. Apparently the place is a bit of a dive, but as my son said, "I have to start somewhere". Bless him.
Arrrrrgh MILFs.
You poor lad will need therapy later for that one :)
Is that another little dig for you QV, from dear BOBO?
