When did this happen?

Sometime ago I gave up my dream of ever, ever, ever being a rock star. It wasn't really ever even a dream, actually. For years and years all I've really expected to get out of playing music was the joy of simply playing it. This has been true for virtually every band I've ever been in.

Examples:

This Failing State. This was a pretty cool band, but was so strange and obscure that I can't imagine anybody every really listening to it, let alone enjoying it much. We played in lame bars all over the all-too-well-known metropolis of Bellingham, WA. Wheee.

The Charity Stripe. Again, a pretty different sort of band. Very "Ken Stringfellow meets Karate meets Minus The Bear." There was moderate success here, but nothing to write home about.

So now I play with a group called Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden. I'm not sure how good it is, but good things are happening. I submit the following information:

Today at school, which happened to be a puppy-free day, a co-worker said to me "Hey, I was in Starbucks yesterday and heard your band playing." 

Umm.... what? I'll admit that I knew things were happening on that front. But I never actually thought anything would happen. So now we're getting played all over. ALL OVER. And it leaves me with a significant problem:

I just spent six years and something like 60,000 dollars to do what I do now. What happens if something BIG, something really, really BIG takes place with this? What then? Am I legitimately expected to up and leave? To tour? 

I'll admit, though, that this is not a bad problem to have. But what to do, children, what to do?
