I'm going to wear my black linen pants and my fancyboy denim shirt with the fake pearl snaps instead of buttons to the show. And of course my man bracelet.

Not that it's a big deal or anything.

Not that I woke up two hours early to cram in some extra practice time and to make sure that all the equipment works.

Not that my left hand fingertips are raw and ready to bleed.
