that worked out well

I got to the show tonight and it turns out that Enlou dropped so they asked us if we could play. so even though our afternoon show got rained out we got to play. it was H&M's last show and LP's second to last. i'm extremely glad we got to rock out with them. H&M played the best I'd ever seen them. what a good night.

shows

we played a show last night and it was pretty stellar. kind of a young crowd but it was fun. it was down in Carmel with our friends All of the Above. they are so tight. then we were supposed to play in Hartford this afternoon but it got canceled and no one told us. i love it when that happens. whatever... i'll just get myself pumped for SpringHill.

perfect score

"If they make a movie about it I wonder who would play me... he would have to be hung like a horse."

paint and music

we practiced yesterday and it was a lot of fun. i think we have the new song done. score. it just needs to be cleaned up a bit. today i went over to tyler's and organized the basement. it looks a lot better now and we'll have more room to practice and stuff. i also painted my neighbor's chimney. am i awesome or what?

oh conan

Martha Stewart: "if you use this tool then it makes the paint look like fake wood."
Conan: "That's incredible, you can have fake wood at home!"
*laughter*
Conan: "It's called Viagra."

so tired...

i got back from Lolla... hung out with tyler, cabby, and lucas.... got a bunch of crap done on this computer for the band and stuff... and now i'm ready to pass out. it's been such a crazy weekend. i can hardly believe it. i will write a full recap of Lolla as soon as i'm feeling up to it. i just can't stay awake much longer.... goodnight.

late night TV

is what i watch... a lot. now i am about ready to go to bed, wake up, and drive to Chicago!

i want to put down my guitar...

...and sing a song with my heart.

i went to the rodeo show today and it was tight. way too hot and too expensive, but awesome none the less. ITFOW was crazy and fun, Darkroom was great, Alexander was a pleasant surprise, and Rodeo was incredible. absolutely incredible. it was a good night.

this is my last night of work. oh yeah. party.

blarg

practice was good today. we have some awesome new parts. tyler writes some of the most difficult stuff i've ever heard. he has to practice it for weeks before he can even play it well. cabby's new drum set has given him new energy and the song sound better than ever. we're getting pretty good.

i leave for chicago in less than 3 days. heck yes. and i only have 2 days of work left. i'm stoked about that. i need to get paid though. i'm running out of money.... and the school year hasn't even started yet!! this is bad... haha.
