molan Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Have you contacted them to say how much you enjoyed it etc.? i always do that post interviews to make sure I keep some dialogue going. Tends to be by email in a work environment though as it's easier to sound really enthusiastic without coming across as desperate, lol.

Huge Hands Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The optimist in me says he is waiting so he ca double check with the band one more time. The pessimist in me says he wants to get into a relaxed place (i.e. home) so he can let you down easier. (I have had this happen to me, hence the suggestion). I hope for your sake it's the former. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Christ almighty!??!! Does noone in that band remember what it's like to have to go through this? Even by proxy since I'm another one who really really really wants to hear the word that you got the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
