i had my first gig yesterday! 
got up at 7:30
got down there at 9, didnt play till about 10:45 or so. first up we played Bombora, 7 Nation Army, EVerywhere, a song taht one of singers wrote, The Zephyr Song, On MY Mind, and we sorta did Parallel Universe, which i screwed up coz i didnt know how to play it.
after that, at around 1:30 or something, we played in the competition with 2 other bands. we played The Zephyr Song and Kryptonite. another band played one of their originals and, ummm, i forget :S. the 3rd band played Brick in The Wall and Someday (by The Strokes). we tied equal first with the 3rd band ! so they split the prize money to $100 for the two winning bands. then each band did an encore song. the band we tied with played Sweet Child O Mine (perfectly, too, and it was fricken awesome...something for me to aspire to) ,the other band played nirvana's Come as You Are and we did a medley of My Sharona/Cant Stop/On My Mind.
i might just add, i wasnt even nervous while i was up there, it was really weird. i just played like i play right here in front of the computer, all relaxed and stuff
i think that about sums it up. oh, and i went and saw pirates of the caribbean too, so that was like the best day of my life
