Separating Work and Friendship

Last night seemed like any normal weekend evening but with one major difference - this time the band on stage was not any band, this time that band consisted of two close friends.  

As Eric and Romeo took the stage, I whispered to my friend, "This is strange.  Normally I'm in the audience thinking, 'yeah, that's right.  I'm judging you.  you don't even know it, wouldn't even expect it, but I'm judging you.  and yet here i am, thinking that i can't judge them because they're friends'.  

That being said, I'm writing, I'm critiquing, I'm hoping they'll like it!  

And again, that being said, I'm incredibly proud of how well they performed after only one full band rehearsal!  In fact, the limitations of the performance lie not in their talents, but in the acoustics of the venue.
