The Show and New Songs

I felt way nervous at the show on Friday. Not drunk at all. The lighting was too bright. Our fans weren't drunk. Nick was bleeding. My sisters showed up, and so did a new friend. We all thought it was a bad show, but all our friends said it was great. I'll take Broadway Joe's any day.

Jay and I worked on a song last night. I've been spending a lot of time in the basement doing contruction. Should be mostly done by spring. No one is smoking in the apartments anymore (i quit over 2 months ago), so the basement is a last refuge. I can't wait for summer.

catch ya later e-strip,
billy


Nick's Official Farewell Entry:
I had a great time at the show on Friday night & I hope that everyone else had a great time. I'm kind of bummed that my last show had to be a full acoustic gig and I didn't get to play my drumkit (the bongos do a number on my hands too) but it was still a great show. I'll be jamming in the basement with Jay, Billy, and Dan in our free time. Also, we might have to take requests during/after dart league.
See everyone soon.
Take care,
-Nick 3.2.05

Karaoke!!! Estrip Robin!

Billy speaks

So Dan and I blow off going to see Constantine to go downtown for the Guiness toast. We have a tall shot of Southern Comfort (100 proof) and meet our friend Lee and his girlfriend at Barrel House. I down the first scotch of the night and we realize that we've missed the toast. We roll out and go across the street to Croc Bar. The Croc is kinda suckin even though Universal Grill is playing, and they just got back from Vegas. So sick of slow songs. "Let's go to Karaoke!" We walk to Tudor lounge. Lee's girlfriend is crying about the cold, so I grab some snow and rub it all over her legs. She stops complaining. We enter the Tudor and I continue with the scotches. We sign up for Sicilia by Simon and Garfunkel. Wake these boring people up. We finally get up, me, lee and dan. Back to the scotch. I have a dance off with some girl. We see Robin from E-strip. I try introducing myself, but i can tell she's sick of guys hitting on her. She rolls out with her friend. Bye. Dan and I get up and do Paint it Black by the Stones. The crowd gets into it. Duh! It's a great up tempo song. We roll out.

Dan fill in the Gaps and finish the story.


-dan in-

hmm, i think the dance off was after the rollings stones songs, then again I was wasted, I tried dancing with this tall chick but she was like "no' and then made out with some dude....Lee and his girl took off so we decided that the only place to go at 2am on a friday is allen st. Franks is closed down for some reason, the pink looks d-e-a-d so we decide to go to brick bar, while we're walking there we run into the girl that bill had the dance off with, we invite her for a drink but she's tired and going home with her friends. As we walk into brick bar I run into the tall chick who blew me off in the tudor...she's all "Hey what's up?", I looked around like is this broad for real...got a smoke from her and rolled to the bar. Ran into the bartender from the showplace, she bought bill and I a shot. Then we started talking to these three chicks...we all decided to go to the hardware store, had a drink there and rolled out, the girls ask us to come back to their house, but tell us we have to be careful around the chicks rotweilers. We walk into the house and these vicious rot's come running up to us, with their toys because they wanted to play. So I play with her vicious dogs who seem to be about as vicious as a bunny rabbit. While Iplaying with the dogs the girls offer us coke....not the drink, I was so distracted with this weird offer that I threw the dog toy at the wall and broke the girls dead grandmothers antique vase. Yeah so we got asked to leave after that, which is good because coke is bad. What a weird night.

Search for a new drummer

-dan updates-

Not sure how to break the news to you but Nick has left NPP. He will still play bongo's for us at our last show together, next week at higher grounds coffee house.

This will be our last show until we find another drummer. So if anyone knows a drummer who is interested in acoustic rock let us know. We will be auditioning new drummers until we find a replacement.

-dan out-


-nick is here-
I don't really know how to begin this entry, but I just want everyone (especially Jay, Dan, & Billy) to know that I love the NPP and I am very sorry that I cannot continue playing drums for the band. I have a lot of stuff going on at the moment and I cannot devote the time that I feel is necessary for the band to accomplish what they want to. I will continue to support the band and help them out in my free time (if i have any & if they would like my help).
I feel that I have grown as a musican in the past 4 months as a part of NPP and I thank Jay, Billy, & Dan for letting me be a part of their project.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the band and please continue to do so.
Farewell for now,
-Nick

So I was doing some research

-dan stops working to bring news-

So we're in the process of putting together our second show. It is at Broadway Joe's again. So I'll give you all the info but I wanted to tell you about one of the bands we are playing with. The David Lynch band. So we were told that a guy from Moe is in it. Moe is huge in our area, and tours regularly. Well so does the David Lynch band. After seeing their website and reading who we are playing with, I feel honored to be on the same stage doing a show with these guys.

This is only our second show and we get to be on stage with a touring band. It looks like our show is the warm up show for their tour, which is even cooler I think.

So here's the skinny, I'm sure we'll repost this too


when: Feb 4th 10pm
where: Broadway Joes
who: North Park Project
The David Lynch Band
Uberfunk
The Weezing Stubblers


this will be a killer show, I know it's gonna be packed.
-dan goes back to reading about other bands-
