Life over the last month has been an emotional roller coaster. Doing a kickstarter is damaging to one's confidence. It's great to see the people who are supportive but it's hard not to be hurt by the people who aren't. People I thought would help aren't, and can they all honestly not spare $10? I don't believe it. I know in a way it's selfish of me ( Read more... )

I'm heading to VA tomorrow morning. I'm finally starting to get a little nervous about it. I shouldn't be. It's just a fun weekend with a good friend, making music, something we both love. And playing a fun concert that might not be very well attended, I'm used to that=) I just feel bad that I can't help draw in a crowd because I don't know anyone ( Read more... )

I should be sleeping. It was a really long week with no days off of work and I am physically exhausted. Unfortunately, mentally wired always wins out the sleep deprivation war with my body ( Read more... )

Not working until 5 on Wednesday isn't incredibly beneficial if I don't wake up til 11:30. Ooops. I had big plans for today, but I was up late last night so I should cut myself a tiny bit of slack. But this is crucial time in the recording project. I have samples I need to record for a couple composers if they're going to make their April 1 ( Read more... )

About a week ago I called up the owner of one of the performance spaces I had emailed. I just wanted to check since it had been a month and hadn't heard a response from my email, not even a no thank you. And it worked! She didn't seem super interested on the phone and asked me to come up with a list of people i think would pair well with my act. ( Read more... )

First, I will complain about money. The recording was super expensive, I don't know if I mentioned this but I gave him a check for $540. And that was for 3 songs for the album. I shouldn't have had him record the bonus track! I just thought it wouldn't take so long. It took 3 hours. 1 would have been acceptable, but it was more tonal then ( Read more... )

So I guess a bit has happened since the last post ( Read more... )

Well, I could complain more about the fact that people don't respond to my calls or emails. But, I guess that's just in the music world! The librarians all email me back and tell me there are no job openings, which sucks, but at least they're being honest and responding to me like civilized and decent human beings! Really. Even in just the last 2 ( Read more... )

So a couple days ago I was thinking about what kind of jobs I could have after i move while I build up my studio. The list wasn't very long and the only thing on it I really wanted to do was work in a library again. So then I got the bright idea that I should apply to work in one again. I need to make more $, not to live, but to pay off my cc and ( Read more... )

After reading my friends post I feel obligated to post so that lj stops telling her she has no friends. But I warn you, it's not a pleasant one, maybe it will take an unexpected turn ( Read more... )
