You must stay tuned!
Everyone in NPP has access to this journal. Therefore, one of us may write something, and a half hour later someone else must take it down. Or I might post a really funny pic and then take it down before any of the band has a chance to see it (heehee). Or we may add comments to an existing journal, none of which bumps up our standing on the strip.
My advice to you is to check NParkProject on a regular basis. Like 12 times a day.
Question for our future and present listeners:
What do you want to hear and see on our journal?
email us your answers
or email us if you want us to walk down elmwood and play as we walk down elmwood

Just saying "whats up"
Whats up folks?
Just wanted to say whats going on to all of the people on the elmwood strip!
Hopefully NPP will be getting together this weekend to go over some songs and decide what's going to go on the future demo.
My friend Matty might be able to hook us up with a good deal in the studio he built in his basement...I'll have to talk to jay, bill & dan about it...

Some behind the scenes stuff
Jay and Bill are being bitches, and since I'm in the middle since I live in the same housing structure as them I'll tell you the drama which has unfolded...then folded back up. Jay was pissed that bill put a picture of him online. So Jay erased it. Then Bill got pissed that Jay had enough time to log on and erase his picture but not enough time to write a journal entry. So Bill went and changed the password to this journal and put the picture back up.
While most bands are arguing because they are alcoholics or drug addicts my band argues because they are girls and don't want their pictures on the internet. Guess what I don't like my picture either. I'm leaving it up. The other one I had to take down because it could've meant my job.
Anyways I think those two douchebags solved their problems tonight before I came to work. The picture was taken down, and we need to ask permission on any picture that's put up. We are moving ahead. We're think practice either sat or sun. We're gonna finish up some songs for a demo so we can play out. A demo is key to getting gigs. We need one.

Today
So in just under 16 and a half hours the band will make it's debut with a drummer, to a select audience of friends and family at my new apartment. Bill, Jay and I had a quickie jam today to try and figure out some endings and figure out which songs we're going to play, looks like the set list will be
Sunshine
Now
Micheal Shea's
Kate
hills of tomorrow
UVO (ultra-vection-oven jam)
Bitter End
I'd like to do them in that order too, but I guess we'll talk about that later today.
eh I have nothing else to write

Playing my party
Thought I'd update this while I still have the caffeine coursing through my veins. Nick came over and jammed again tuesday and I thought it was a really good session. I mentioned about having a get-together (party) on saturday to him, and he was all about playing it. He figured we could probably do a 5 song set or something. I know we have at least 4 songs down. We never worked on the endings on a couple of them, but i think we could probably squeak out another 2 or three songs after that four. So as long as nick feels comfortable doing it, I'm down with it.
When I showed Jay the flyer I was going to pass out at work, he was a little taken a back. He was like... oh we're really gonna play . I thought it was a given, we had been talking about playing it, even if we didn't have a drummer. I'm going to be the nervous one because these are all my friends and co-workers, especially the co-workers, these people have no idea who I am. It's like that mtv's "diary of dan", "...you think you know but you have no idea".
I hope bill realizes we are playing.... 8* ;)

Happy Birthday Dan!!!
Nick
Dan
Billy says:
Saturday was way cool. Some of our close friends stopped by to listen to the band play. Also in attendance were some neighbors down the street and the Buffalo Police Department. Oh well, we shut the garage door and played loud anyway. Dan had a great birthday including not remembering half the night and vomiting. Nothing says "You're a year older!" better than the smell of porcelin at 6 o'clock in the morning and bruises all over your right arm.

Whoa!! I was rocking out with the bass. Don't remember that picture...I'm begining to think I'm an alcoholic, I mean the two pictures you put up of me I'm drunk...yet no pictures of bill. We will have to work on that. Jay has the story about the cops, he's the one that talked to them. It was cool though bunch of neighbors rocking out. Unfortunatly no one got the hot chicks across the street to come over...geez if someone told me they were out I would've made a drunken attempt at getting them over.

Innovative Soloing
I hate most solo guitar. I hate the blues and 80's rock killed my desire to be anything more than a rhythm guitarist. Now I am challenged to become one because Jay's style of writing almost demands it. My promise to the band and our soon to be fans: I pledge never to write a corny solo, I will not make my guitar sound like it's talking, barking, screaming or laughing. My style right now is more of playing a backround melody that amplifies the rhythm of the song and does not simply play over it. I hope my bandmates are with me on this and understand that the development of me into a soloist was not what I was expecting when I joined up, so be patient.
ps. The new song definitely kicks some serious ass.
