My stomach's in a knot. I am getting a headache. Fear is slowly seeping through my body quickening my heartbeat. Why did I agree to do this gig tomorrow? I always forget that I don't actually enjoy THE ACTUAL GIG. I get too nervous. Most of the time on this one I am standing with Lindsay singing back up. I've never stood and sang before..always have had the security of my keyboard and stool. How can I stop myself from dancing? You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Is that appropriate? Or else how can I force myself to look out and smile instead of look down and shake? How many more times can I listen to these songs until I feel like I know them? Why am I using a keyboard that I don't know how to use yet??!! HELP!
That's all.

I'm sorry this causes you so much stress. And yet you excel at everything you put your mind to. I love you and am so proud of your talents and dedication to use them to serve others. Have some fun along with the anxiety this weekend - MOM
You got this you wonderful lady!
OH man.....you were born to do this!!!! The music is in you... You are one with the music.
I am proud of you for taking this step into the unknown. I applaud you.....
YEAH FOR ERIN!!!!
I wish I could come and listen and dance.....
You will be great! You are a star. I want your autograph. Really. love you.
Listen, Miss I've-Been-The-Lead-Of-Countless-Plays-And-Sang-Solos-On-Stage-In-All-Of-Them ..... you will be great. You're mega-talented, you've been performing your whole life. Enjoy the moment, chica. You'll be amazing.
Sheesh. It's like riding a bike. I have complete confidence in the 1988 Sterling Scholar in Drama from Murray High (aka East Hollywood High). Just remember the glowing review you received from the Murray Green Sheet and channel your inner diva. Can't wait to read your blog describing how much fun you had at this gig.
Most great performers get that knot in their stomachs before a big (or first) gig. You're in great company, Erin. Learn to relish that feeling, making it your friend. Or, if you can't, realize it's temporary -it's the last, desperate toe hold fear has before you blow it away with the endorphin rush of actual performance. You know this. You are the consummate performer. Go out and have a BLAST!!!!
how can i stop myself from dancing? hahahaha I miss you e
I have never received 8 comments at once! It sounds like I wanted compliments and I swear I didn't! I just had to get it out! Hopefully it will go well. Mike, I love that you know all of those high school details. Yours made me laugh so hard. Well no going back now!
Oh no! I just saw this! Did you already do the gig? I'm sure you were amazing--it's your thing. I wish I could have seen you. Did you get video like I told you? Post it!
You're the best! You really are so good at everything, but you are always humble about it. Makes us love you even more.
