The Harvest Fest

     I've been meaning to write since the other night but I haven't had the time. Our little side event during the Harvest Fest made up for what happened to me the other night. I did get to perform and I did alright too. It was definitely a night that will go in my little history book of coolest events ever. They canceled the outside performances because of the rain but the bar apparently wanted us to still come and do our show so we did. Many artists came together and supported my husband in his first organized event. Seventh Layer came from Harrisburg, Lyrical showed up AND brought the Cheesy Bread Man (?) who decided to go on for an entire half hour, lol. Vile the Black Mage showed up!!! I was really happy he showed up for hubby. I know this event meant a lot to him and he would have been really upset if his main man hadn't come. Camburn (me) came up out the anxiety box too. I even did a song that I was not sure whether I wanted to present to the world or not. "Magnificent". It's the story of who I am and where I come from. It's pretty raw. It's real and it's honest. I wasn't sure whether the world wanted to hear a story about the girl next door and her struggles with anger and domestic violence and parental neglect. I just was not sure. I thought about replacing that song up till the last minute. Well, what ended up happening was that people clapped for me during this song and they really appreciated it. I was surprised. I was like WTF?! It's all good though. I had a great time. I had to cut out early to get some sleep for work but I watched the videos later. What bothered me was that they stopped Davey Dips from performing because of his style of rap. He is a person who also keeps it real. He does horrorcore. That's his thing. That's his style. If people can't appreciate him for the clever and original artist that he is then they have a problem. I felt horrible for him and I don't know if I could have been as graceful as he was had it happened to me. Davey Dips is a really nice guy. He does a lot for his artist friends and tries to give everyone a chance. I was really upset with him about Saturday night but I guess maybe it was an honest mistake and he found himself in a situation that he just couldn't get out of and someone unfortunately had to get the short end of the stick. It just happened to be me. It wasn't anything personal and I dont' think he deserved what happened Tuesday night. That really sucked.       So anyway, Vile went on and gave his best peformance ever. He had me jumping up and down to his song "I'm Broken". I love that sad song. I don't always see eye to eye with my man about him but that night he was there for him and he did well so I dont' have anything negative to say. Gen and Noelz were very good, Illogik showed up despite his problems he had going on. He's a real trooper. Homegrown came from New York! Seventh Layer brought the house down!!! Another group that I like. I even have my favorite songs of theirs. They seem to be really cool like that have good senses of humor and they like to have fun. They are so funny.      I would love to play at this Blue Marlin Bar again. I heard that they may be having us back. That will be really great. Next time I go out there I want to try some other things and I will be less nervous now that I know what kind of crowd to expect and such. Well, I have to run to work. Good day to anyone who might actually see this.
