i was having the most vivid dream. everything was so real, everything that i saw and heard and touched. i don't remember what it was about but i remember it being a nice place. then suddenly and violently, i was jerked away from my sleep. after having been out for about 4 hours on this kid's floor, his mom woke up all up and told us to leave. and ( Read more... )

nine dollars.

that is how much we got paid after playing a show where 100 people paid $10 each to attend.
you do the math.

this is pretty much how tour's been going the whole time. that is why i really havent been updating. because it would just be a lot of bitching.

will it ever fucking get better? seriously.

today we played at The Middle Eastern in boston. the weird thing about the show was that it started at 2PM. strange. but it was pretty descent. fair amount of people watching. sold some merch. and we got free food. good free food. i had some kind of middle-eastern wrap sandwich and it pretty much kicked ass. i also gave middle eastern coffee a try ( Read more... )

right now i'm at the gloria practice w/ joe, nick & josh giving some pointers and helping them w/ tones and arrangements, etcetera. i'm having them syncopate some bass parts instead of going "de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de" all the time. having the guitars breathe sometimes on the verses and such instead of being cranked to 11 at all times.

just found out this morning that i may be leaving for tour again in a couple of days. pretty short notice, but some band dropped off this one tour and the remaining dates were offered to us. not sure if we're doing it since we all ready have 1/2 of october confirmed for something else. we might take some dates up until oct. and then jump onto that ( Read more... )

today at dollar tree in northtown, i found an energy drink called Mad Croc. the can has a red crocodile on it. it's awesome. if you go to their website: www.madcrocusa.com there is really nothing about the product or anything, but a dumb game you can play where you control a crocodile and shoot cans of energy drink at asteroids to blow them up ( Read more... )

i have a habit of adding the "ers" suffix to everyone's name. example; "tommers" would be my name. other peoples' names: joders, tracers, katers, stevers, etc. i also refer to our cat as, "kitters" and the dogs as, "puppers" or, "doggers". terms of endearment are often a positive adjective w/ the same suffix. example; cuters, sweeters, etc. i'm not ( Read more... )
