Young & Restless

Getting ready for our biggest show so far!

👗 Caicedo Show Prep

Can you believe the Wonder Ballroom fits 800 people?! And we’re opening for Y La Bamba, one of the OGs in the Portland scene. 

With our biggest show to date, the guys and I feel the anticipation seeping through. The knot in my stomach reminds of my first talent show in high school. Proof here 😅 

Hands shaking, heart beating so loud you might as well let it take center stage. 

Of course to up the ante, I’m playing guitar for Alteras Mis Atomos. I volunteered to take a more active approach and learn one of the songs. Then the guys thought it would be cool if I played it on stage. holy fuck. 

It’s gonna be a blast and if you’re in the Portland area, come through and dance with us! Tix Here 

🧠  5 Minute Brain Dump 

When there are “big” shows like this one, my mental health tends to waver. My thinking gets overwhelmed with how much there is to do and so little time. Sometimes I obsess over getting the lyrics right or triple checking to make sure I’m playing on tempo. 

Lately, I’ve found solace in doodling for a few minutes to brain dump on paper. A physical way to transfer any anxiety running through my mind. It helps wonders and I started to notice what’s taking up mental space. My brain dump is telling me to go find an outfit! Being so caught up in the notes that I forgot about the look. 

So, today is spent on getting show ready. I’m rest assured that I’ve done enough rehearsal for the day. 

Could a brain dump help you clear some metal space?

📌 Where’s Evi?
