Being a manager is tough
I just finished my first manager duties. Bare with me I'm a little drunk. If i have to get this drunk each time out i don't know if i can do this. I worked my ass off tonight. I must have got at least four numbers tonight to book shows. Hopefully, this will all pay off for North Park Project. Some would say why do you do this? I guess my answer would be out of friendship. I don't see these guys as a business venture. To me their my friends and i want nothing but sucess for them.They have the talent weather they believe it or not. We played at the Continental tonight and they played an awesome show. If they play every show with as much heart as they played tonight that makes it worth my while. I wish i had some musical talent to contribute to this band.

More added comments on ODB
I have no sympathy for ODB aka, Russell Jones aka, Dirt McGirt aka, Osiris aka, Big Baby Jesus.
Now here are the reasons why he should get no respect:
1993 convicted of assault
1997 arrested for failing to pay child support for his three children
1998 pleaded guilty to assaulting exwife
1998 arrested for stealing sneakers
1999 arrested for crack possession (Crack kills. No one probably informed him that)
Who steals sneakers? In 1998, the Wu-Tang Clan were making millions.
The best part is Wu-Tang Clan had their own clothing line. If he stole Wu-Tang shoes was he stealing from his own company or was he testing them.

No More RIP ODB Please
Yes he's dead we get it. Stop. Like he was even someone to look up to. I don't think so. He made millions with the Wu-tang and still used food stamps. Thats a fuckin disgrace. The only credit i can even give him is that he was the first lil john.

Gotta Love Them Bills
WOW what a game. Gotta love them bills. O wait that's right they lost. Well, here's hoping for a 10-6 season. Did anyone see J.P. Losman? He didn't look much better but he only had three plays. At least we know he can run and avoid a sack.
I'm already sick of this cold weather. My fucking bedroom is like a freezer. That's it for tonight off to bed in the queen size.

Ups and Downs
North Park Project and I attended the show at the Dome Theatre last night. I guess i was pretty critical on a lot of the bands that played that night. As a manager i think that is in part of my job description tho. A lot of the bands were some what average. Like i stated in previous journal with a slight adjustment "What happened to all the good buffalo bands?" After a disappointing turn out we still managed to make the best of it. The best thing that came out attending the show was that i think it was a big confidence booster for North Park Project.

What happened to all the buffalo bands?
I've come to realize that over the past couple years the band scene has not been the same. As different genres of music come and go our buffalo bands have gone as well. There is not one night i can't go out and hear something good. If I'm at a club i have to suffer thru hours upon hours of shitty house music. I'm sorry but there is only so much Lil john a guy can take. MMM What, Yeah, Ok. If thats talent then shoot me because id rather be dead. But, it doesn't end there the music of today all sounds the same no matter what type you listen to. I'm not sure why its so different from the bast. Maybe its the radio shoving the shit consistently down our throats or maybe its because everything has already been done. Things need to change and if anyone has any ideas let me know. Anyways, lets go back to the local scene for a minute. Is it me or do you feel that anytI'me you see a band performing at a bar they seem to be a cover band. Everywhere i go its always some cover band playing. I don't have anything against cover bands. It just comes to a point where you would like to hear someone play their own thing. I guess what I'm trying to say is if i wanted to hear popular music i would put my five dollars in the jukebox to hear the better version.

my first entry
Well, i finally got my journal going. This is the first of many weird things ill probably post. Ill keep it pretty easy to understand to start. I'm very excited about being the manager for the band North Park Project. In my opinion, the best band out of buffalo since the Goo Goo Dolls. Well, that is if they can keep on getting along. Hopefully i won't fail them. They have good things coming to them. Now if only i can get them to play out.
