Moving Day!!
Big moving day. Nick will now have a room in the Music Collective we call NPP. He should be waking up Jay in about 10 mins trying to get in. Good times, I'll be home sometime around 11 after I get out of work.
Our duly appointed manager accompanied us to The Happening last night. We weren't playing or anything just there to check out the local scene and do a little networking. Very positive results. We're looking at a couple options for our debut on a stage. Talked to a bunch of people we haven't seen in a long time. Getting back into the buffalo music scene is like running into an old friend at a high school reunion (although I haven't had one of those, it's just what I suppose it's like). You ask each other how you've been, what you've been up to. Then you have a couple beers and find that old friends never change....only time changes.

The move went as planned. I woke up at 5:30a.m., picked up the van at the airport, loaded all of my things from my crib and my friend Matty helped me move everything in my new room at the NPP abode.
We were done a little after 9a.m. and then I came back at around noon and worked on unpacking for about 6 hours...The task is pretty much completed and I cannot wait to just chill and play music virtually 7 days a week.
This is going to be so much fun and I cannot even begin to describe how pumped that I am about the move.
I'll keep everybody posted on how everything develops.

bill and i are drunk again
Yeah, i'm fuckin drunk, so what, want to make somethin of it? Anyway, we had a good time tonight. Talkin more about the band then the naked girls dancing on the stage. Dan rambled on most of the night. Apparently Jesus didn't understand politics (inside joke). Billy met with disappointment but alas I have NPP. Nick moves in this weekend and the downstairs bathroom isn't done yet. Whoa is me. Dan is still laughing. Too many cigarettes and not enough chics. I have a feeling things are gonna work out great. Just a feeling we all seem to have.

Halloween Halloween
Big score was Dry Ice courtesy of mills welding on great arrow drive. 92 cents a pound, and bill scored that just before noon. It looked way cool in the jungle juice mix. I can't even think of how cool the night went by. No problems, lots of drinking it was a way cool party.
NPP scored a double set. An early 3 song jam. That was cool, but lacked the people. The second was an extended jam at 11p I think we played 6 tunes

We rocked the casbah, people cheered. I heard mad people talking about how much they liked us. It was exactly what I needed. I wish I could've talked to more people after we played so I could've gotten a better idea of what songs they liked the most, but I was busy giving directions and other things. All of my friends showed up late as usual, after midnight. So they missed the set. Oh well. What else is there to say....
..oh yeah I'm still up party kicked off at 7p, and I'm still standing at 7a...well sitting at work. I can't wait to get to my bed, and relax and take it all in from last night. Hopefully I can see if we can get some party pics up with the quickness.

Deep entry
I think that we should continue to record our jam sessions until everyone is content with a song or two and then we should post them on the site.
We definately have to play out though; thats a given...That is the only way that people are going to find out about us and I have a feeling that after we play a couple of local shows the venues will be asking us to come back cuz our sound is so original and catchy.
The only way that were gonna find out is if we try though.
I'll see everybody tonight.
Peace,
-Nick

Later on
No one has given me the go ahead to put up actual music yet, Bill nixed me just putting it up and says it depends on how jay feels. Well jay hasn't "approved" any of the recordings and since none of us have money for a demo I guess you won't get to hear us unless we play out. That's doubtful that will happen anytime soon, every time I bring up the subject, all I get is excuses. It's all very frustrating to me. I thought everyone knew how I felt on this subject.
You got to earn respect in this town, and only half of us have. Bill having been in a popular hardcore band and Nick being in his rock punk band. I was in a band that played out but we got no respect, we rarely played out, and when we did we got shitty shows because no one knew who we were. The most I got paid for a show was $6, and that was gas money for the two practices I went to. There isn't gonna be a crowd of people to see our first show, so why not just do it. So much of our lives are wasted sitting on our laurels. We react instead of act. It's what separates those who succeed and those who fail.
What is the fun in life if you never do anything?
