Strange Weekend!!!!!

What's up Elmwood? I have finally returned back to the strip to speak my piece on the situations that have been taking place over the past week or two. I'll start with Dan's party. It was a great time except for the police showing up about 20 minutes after we started to play. WE have always had problems with our next door neighbors and I think as soon as they heard us playing they tried to sabotage our party. Luckily, the cop that came by was real cool and told us that as long as we played in the garage with the door closed everything would be fine. So we moved our gear in to the garage and had a great time playing for everybody! I wanna especially thank Dan's friends from the radio station for all of there kind words when we were done playing. They seemed to really enjoy themselves and that made my night!. Now on tho picture drama with Billy. We discussed it later that night (after a ridiculous reaction to my request. No offense Billy!!!) and everything worked themselves out like usual. I want to apologize for taking down entry's that you worked hard on! I never looked at it that way and I should have. It's 11:11 and I wish for forgivness.......! So I would now like to take this time to encourage everyone not to drink and drive and speed unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured and in another state. We'll just say that I could be rotting in prison right now if it was'nt for a real cool cop (and we all now how rare they are to come by). Finally tonight we are gonna get a full band practice going . It seems like it been so long since we all practiced together I am starting to get over anxcious. Alright I am getting yelled at by my boss so I gotta go. Sound clips for everyone soon thanks for staying updated!!!

Later Elmwood

P.S Sorry for any spelling errors I was in a hurry!!

You must stay tuned!

The overconfident guy says:

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

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

-dan stomps in-

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

-dan slowly opens his thoughts-

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

Jay comes out of hiding

What's up everyone! Sorry I hav'net wrote anything in a while I just never get around to it. So Nick (the drummer) kicks ass!!!! He brings in unbelievable drum beats and almost complete's the songs. Real cool guy too, Thumbs up all around!! Anyway I guess we are playing Saturday, I'm all for it, it's just when Dan showed me the flyer I was taken back by the thought of him posting them all over town. A momentary lapse of confidence that I to often encounter. My bandmates commented that the new song is great.... I could'nt agree more. It's all come together so quickly. As soon as I can figure out how to down load a sound bite(?) I want everyone to hear it. Even if our kind of music is'nt your thing I think that this song has something about it that everyone can like or relate to. I really look forward to hearing feedback. Well it's time for me to go back to work but hopefully soon I can come back to everyone with some audio. Later

Jay crawls back under his rock :(

Playing my party

-Dan jumps in-

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.

-dan post edits-

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.
