"We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in 'The Blues Brothers' with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can't believe we're going to play for people in New York City. I'm terrified, but it's a small enough room. But it's really just supposed to be for the fun of it"

This quote by Lauren Ambrose talks to the excitement and fear of performing in a new place. She is describing a warm-up gig at The Brick House in Housatonic, which is reminiscent of the bar in the film The Blues Brothers. She is both excited and terrified to be playing for people in New York City, however is comforted by the fact that it is a small room. She is taking the gig for the enjoyable of it, and is accepting the difficulty of performing in a brand-new place. This quote speaks to the guts and decision of an artist to take threats and press themselves to new heights. It is a reminder that even when we are terrified, we can still take the plunge and try something brand-new.
