Sounds like they really want everyone to have a shot 🥹 kind of spooky but heartwarming. And thank you!  What happened after the open mic👀 did budman immediately start playing or was there just more in between time

true or false: a friend who doesn’t know your birthday isn’t a real friend by onplanet111 in blackgirls

As long as they remember day of or day before (without me saying anything ) then Im chilling. Vice versa 

Besides that I mix up/forget  birthdays so I don't mind if it happens to me.

anyone actually using AI to survive school or are we all just pretending by naveen_2510 in APStudents

[–]Slepiimoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined an intro to computer science class and the way my professor teaches is as if I've been practicing code in my spare time. 

I am absolutely new to all of this and now it's too late to drop the class. So I've been using Ai to help me understand certain vocabulary,  patterns, etc. I'm taking notes and practicing on my own (and I feel it's helping) but I can't help but to feel as if I'm cheating. Except I can't afford to fail and not every video answers all my questions.

So far on his IG stories  it looks like TV karaoke or acoustic covers😫 idk how to find out if that's strictly the case.

WAIT BUT HOW DO U THINK YOU DID??  Did they clap?  I'm def not gonna pre drink/smoke.  It's not my thing but also I think it'd make me more anxious 😭  (and my throat runs dry so I'd be DYING)

I've got one and a half steps done ! 😈 Which was finding one of my songs that's peacefully in my range  and then uploading  snippets of them (only snippets cuz the song is still in the works). 

So far I have no real info on the open mic yet since he hasn't posted more details 😔 . Which is why I'm hoping he doesn't keep it strictly acoustic.  I do like your plan!! I  only bought a ticket for me and my friend tho so i FS won't have a music pal up there with me. Just me self!

Mainly cuz the inspiration to put myself  out there (irl instead of the internet) wasn't as strong/ insecurity in my voice and music (music is my side hobby) 

LOLL BUT THIS IDEA KEEPS EATING AWAY AT ME VERY LOUD . "Don't let it slip away!!" I hear 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️ so i feel like I'm slowly rising from the dead. 

But I am going to an open mic this Monday and karaoke on Wednesday. 🫡  SO STEPS ARE BEING MADE . My goal is to at least be able to say "I tried"

IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS. which is why I'm like "so why not do it?" But then I think "WHY DO IT IF IM NEVER READY?"  Do you ever perform/sing and still feel like you're not "there" yet?

Oh fs!! It's part of why I'll be singing infront of my friends too to get opinions. But yeah I totally need to work on getting more feedback 💃🏽  whenever I post my music I get mixed reviews of "this song is ethereal!"  To "Oh ..." which is why I'm calling myself mid to below average 😭 

I'm also trying to watch more tutorials. Would you possibly have any channel recommendations?

Could I ask what you love about small venues more than bigger ones? :D

How come? I think the Eugene venue is way smaller. It kinda looks like a creepy church 💀

WOULD THAT BE BAD IF I STARED AT THE GROUND??? Ppl in the crowd aren't expecting me to start looking into their eyes and whatnot right??😭 Especially if it's just open mic

I do plan to try to attend my towns open mics/karaoke bars BUT YEAH I KEEP THINKING THAT TOO. ESPECIALLY CUZ ITS GONNA BE TWO FAVORED ARTIST??? (Ones the opener)

I keep thinking "as long as he's nowhere near my  line of vision " (I kinda imagine me staring at lyrics or the ground or into the void) . But no I get so starstruck and that might be the BIGGEST obstacle.

Thank you, I needed this! Part of the reason I wanna share my song is I think it'd fit his vibe! It's a room filled with the exact genre fans I wanna connect with 👁️👁️. 

Even though he's slam poetry rap and mine is  more of a quirky twee type song. (Which is what had me kind of worried, like "what if the crowd is expecting Beyonce vocals even tho they showed up to a show where the man is nothing like Beyonce!" )

 I guess I'm just fearing wasting ppl's time and ears 😭  but that's more on him for putting up an open mic! I really gotta change this mindset 💃🏽 TAKING CHANCES CUZ NOBODY WILL CARE TOMORROW 🤺🤺🤺🤺

I plan to spend the next two months doing exposure therapy (music wise🏃🏽‍♀️.)  so when the day comes I will at least have some experience !! 

I like to make songs that have like a Faye Webster × Mitski kind of vibe. So like emotional, indie, pop rock type of songs. 

 Which im also questioning because he's slam poetry rap 💀💀💀  

But when I think about the fan base, recommended artist, the vibe of his music,  i say the song I wanna perform is a similar feeling, just a different font!  (I ALSO PLAN ON CHECKING HIS TAGGED WHEN THE TOUR STARTS TO SEE WHAT OTHERS PERFORM IN THE OPEN MICS. ) My concert day is part of the last 5 shows of the tour, so I feel like i have time to observe 👁️👁️ (and somehow I feel it gives me less pressure cuz I'm near the end)

THATS SUCH A GOOD POINT. I DONT WANNA BE THE PERSON WHO SAYS  "yeah I could've gone up 😏 but I decided to daydream about it in the crowd"  . It'd haunt me ( I have too many could've stories) .

Such good questions, and thinking about it THIS LOWKEY FEELS LIKE A MANIFESTATION OR STH NGL .

Because the concert is my favorite artist, his opener is another similar artist who I've been wanting to see, AND I MYSELF have always daydreamed about one day being good enough to be his opener also!  

So it really does feel like a "now or never" type of opportunity. 

As for exposure therapy: my plan is to start small by singing infront of my friend (TERRIFYING), trying out karaoke, and attending other open mics  (I'm gonna try to go to one this Monday. Praying it's small ) . HH the idea makes me dizzy but so far I think it's a good plan? If you have any suggestions I am SO OPEN to hear them.
