I just got hired to run sound on the East Coast Indie Stage of this year's Warped tour. The ECIS is doing 2 legs, June 21-28 and August 1-11. Spitalfield is headlining the ECIS along with Split Fifty. Should be pretty fucking sick ( Read more... )

This weekend Erica moved up to the University of Hartford. Her parents, and I helpped her move in. The dorm room is ok, the roomate not so much. Erica's room is on the 4th floor, which sucked for carrying all her stuff, but we managed. There should be a law that requires all buildings with more than 1 floor to have an elevator. I stayed up ( Read more... )

Bad day today. 1.

Man, things have been...well, interesting...sorta. I'm still working at Camp Venture. I'm getting more money now (not much) and I work a bunch of overtime which is awesome. If the overtime wasn't there then I probably would have looked for a different job, or at least gotten a cool 2nd job, something I liked for extra cash kinda 2nd job. I'm ( Read more... )

I don't really like the holidays. I'm not a fan of being nice to people that I wouldn't normally be nice to just because it's a festive time of year. I don't think there is much of the real spirit of these holidays left. Christmas is all about the presents. I know people who have been pissed off that they didn't get a certian gift despite ( Read more... )

I hung out with my friend Erika the other night. We got pizza in Nyack and ended up having a 2 hour conversation about politics and it got extreamly heated. I'll admit I've got some unconventional views on a lot of issues, but she didn't seem to listen to anything I was saying. I'd give example after example and she'd always come back to the ( Read more... )

Things have been pretty good lately. I'm working only one job now, but I need to find another one. I'm concidering going back to school, and I need to save up some cash. I've been sorta looking for a new venue but the pickings are slim in this area. I'm gonna keep looking though, I'd like to start doing shows again, it seems like Rockland could ( Read more... )

I'm leaving to go to NJ to pick up the guys in Bigwig and their gear, then we're heading to Mass. for the 10 year anniversary Warped Tour show. Bigwig's playing tomorrow and I'm working for them. Not only am I getting an all access backstage pass for Warped but I'm getting paid to drive and do tech work for about an hour. We're going to a sick ( Read more... )

Long week. My night job is over though so I'll be able to actually do shit during the week again. I think I'm gonna be quitting the music store soon. It all depends on this other guy at Venture. I should know if I can take his hours on Monday, then I'll give my 2 week notice. I worked today at Krucker's. I love cash jobs that are off the ( Read more... )

Pretty crappy week this week. Work at the music store sucks. I'm looking for any excuse to quit. I'm trying to work out more hours at Venture so I can quit the music store and just work at Venture. It all depends on this other kid's school schedule, if he can't work Mondays and Wednesdays anymore then I'm in. I'm gonna buy some mics before I ( Read more... )
