First official live performance ,I'm scared

Hope it went well! Can't wait for the gig report.

EDIT: I just realized after posting that, that I'm actually eating Iranian food right now. An Iranian couple works at my wife's library and did a culture-presentation night. I wasn't able to attend but she saved some of the food and brought it home, so I'm having it for lunch.

This is for @dbase in case the OP doesn't provide... Unfortunately I don't know what any of this stuff is.

Very cool, but my Iranian friends in Milwaukee call it Persian food.

I used to worry way back when I first was playing live but as long as you've got things down during practice, it should carry over to the stage. And even if you mess up, most people really won't notice and if they do, they'll forget quickly (it's happened to me plenty of times so I know).

I saw Metallica one time and they literally had to stop almost a minute into a song and then start it over because someone screwed something up and by the time the song was over, I'm positive no one really remembered or cared.
Not really the same context but I feel ya.
