A girl from the club was arrested last night. Unlike many others, this one was public, and before the horrified eyes of many patrons exiting the club. There were photographers everywhere. I fear the club won't last long, if people are afraid to be seen there again. Fortunately I wasn't scheduled to perform until later that night, but the poor girl (I will say no names here) was not so fortunate.

I don't care what the reasoning behind the ban was, or what good intentions began it. The way they are treating innocent citizens of this city is wrong.

I'm feeling down and also very reckless. Is anyone up for doing something daring tonight? If not, I suppose I'll simply find myself an adventure.

Phew! I never expected to get so busy! Suddenly my boss at the coffee shop promotes me, and I'm being hired for gigs like crazy! Things are starting to calm down, though, so maybe I'll get a chance to spend some of that well-earned cash. It will be a good chance to get to know some of my new friends better. Especially Temari...

Someone recognised me at the coffee shop the other day. It was this young girl, maybe twelve, and her eyes got huge when she walked in and saw me. When ordering her drink, she leaned in really close and whispered, "Did you play at [bar name left out for safety reasons] last night?" I told her yes, and she smiled like I'd just made her day perfect. She told me that she'd been taken there for her birthday and had loved seeing me. I had warm fuzzies all day - it's so nice to feel appreciated! I would play music anyway (no music ban can stop me!), but things like that remind me why I take the risk in performing it.

I saw an interesting poster the other day that seemed to be very anti-ban. I wonder what's going on with that. Next time I see it, and I'm not in such a hurry, I'll stop and take a closer look.

So anyone who's interested in going for something to eat or a movie or a show or something, let me know! It'll be my treat.

Not much going on these days. I had a few gigs these past weeks, but nothing special. I'm bored out of my mind, to tell the truth. Subaru is still at large, without his big sister to look after him. How's he ever going to have fun this way? He's probably taking life way too seriously and getting caught up in other people's business, as per usual. I don't know what to do with the boy...

A couple of the musicians I played with at my last gig were talking about forming some sort of union. Just in passing. But I was thinking, could that be done? Some sort of group so that we could contact each other - not necessarily by name, since that could be dangerous. It's tough finding a job these days, let alone people to work with! I guess I picked a bad time to come here - but it's a challenge. I think something can be done. Music isn't something you can just stamp out. It'll always be there, hiding in the cracks in your shoe. Hmm... maybe there's a song in there somewhere.

But aside from the gigs, I haven't really had much of a social life. I need to meet some new people, or talk with that band I met back in December. They seemed like fun guys. And that one guy had bright pink hair. It made me want to dye my own. Maybe I will. I think I would look good in purple...

I suppose I need to get out more often, anyway. I might pick up some dye tomorrow when I go shopping. Tonight... there's got to be a club going somewhere. I'm going to meet some people!
