it's been awhile. .. since i left my security job I've been neglecting my journal. Better job now, music it really going well. i'll go into further details ver y soon. . if anyone is still listening. . .

Wow this past weekend was a roller coaster ride. We left Tim's around 5 headed for Asheville. We probably didn't pack the trailer exactly right and it almost flipped us at one point! Scary, scary moment. The trailer was a cheap, fiberglass piece of crap, but it was a good deal. Since we had to drive a bit slower we were a bit late to the show ( Read more... )

So the show went ok I think. I was running crazy late and it was really stressful. I'll backtrack. I was really excited about this show so I had a hard time sleeping. I think I finally passed out around 7:30 AM after getting off work at 5. I set an alarm for 1:30, but I woke up at 10:30(!) and just laid there until 11. For some reason I was ( Read more... )

Well I'm about 18 hours away from Jumper's second show and I'm excited as hell. I wish I didn't have to work afterwards though :( My new bass came in last morning. It's pretty and I can't wait to play it LOUD at the show. Of course right after I break it out of the box the thought jumps in my head that I should have ordered a damned strap for it ( Read more... )

Strange things occur in the vast and buzzing universe of cyberspace. What looked like a financial clusterfuck has turned much more in my favor. I still lost about 80 bucks due to Paypal's lameness, but it looks like I'm not going to be selling any kidneys anytime too soon. To top it off it I should be keeping the new bass that is en route to my ( Read more... )

been some time since my last post. . a lot had gone on, some of it actually good. Got some out of town shows with Jumper coming up next weekend. Starting with a show at the Lodge on Thurs (this show will be supa-sweet) and ending with a couple shows in TN. We hit Asheville on Friday I believe. Well my attempt o buy a new bass with my Stimulus ( Read more... )

wow this Clint guy really hates my old band. I was hoping all this would safely be buried in the past. Last time he was in town it looked like he and Josh kissed and made up. Whatever. I don't understand what we did to him that was so bad that he has to take cheap shots at us ( 4 years after the fact). I'm just going to leave it alone as hard as ( Read more... )

wow this weekend kicked my ass more than i thought it would. The Mustache Bash ruled freakin' hard! The off and on rain kinda sucked, but that's about it. It was just nice to see a lot of people all mingling and getting along. Gravity won the Battle of the Bands on Friday. Bitter Hill and Groovascape played great sets and the judges said it was ( Read more... )

1 show down. It feels good to get the first show monkey of our backs. It's a stamp of legitimacy in my book. I will admit I haven't been so nervous to play in quite some time. To make it worse I probably played the worst set that I have ever played (at least in a long time). I guess it can only go up from here. The turnout was quite good, I ( Read more... )

i forgot to mention that I have a theory of who is at least associated with the dreaded GRO troll LOLRUS. I discussed this with Tim, Nathan, and Mark and they think its pretty solid. We're just waiting to see if any further evidence presents itself.
