So I am really pissed OLP's publicist emailed us wanting us to cover them in Albany on the 30th. Sometimes I wish I was still at home. Did I mention I missed 30 Seconds to Mars in Syracuse and Rochester they won't be around here until freaking NOVEMBER. I just love that band to death and I am so bummed I missed them. We were thinking about driving up to San Francisco to see them next Sunday but its over 5 hours in driving ONE WAY and it still seems like we just got off the road. There's nothing like driving across country to make you not want to go anywhere for a while. We are going to try and see the Audioslave tour with Seether next Saturday in Bakersfield. I hope I get a photo pass for Seether. They are another band that we followed around forever before they "made it big." It sucks because 30 STM is on that tour BUT THAT day they are in Utah for a damn radio show. This makes me so sad. I am really happy that 30STM brought in a good crowd in Syracuse. I know how much that market sucks for shows.
Driving 5 hours would be worth it if I could afford it. I remember I was so worried Shannon or Matt wouldn't remember me when we saw them back in May because it had been over two years since I had seen them. But when I saw Shannon he came right up to me and I put out my hand to shake his hand and asked if he remembered me. He didnt' shake my hand he hugged me and said Of course I do! God you just don't get that from every band. It made me feel so appreciated. I still to this day cannot beleive my work is in one of their videos.
Anyway the cool thing is that I still get to interview Our Lady Peace for the site. Ryan was cool enough to give me his opinion on the new album because I had no clue where to start with my review. He has been a long time fan of them and plus GW toured with them so I thought his opinion would be helpful. They need to tour with them again.
I totally have been fucking up lately too. It seems like I cannot get my assignments done before hand. I swore this time around I wouldn't wait until last minute to do shit. From now on I am going to make a big effort not to. We had a quiz today and I knew everything on it but as she went through the answers I realized I fucked up on one section of BDE. I am so mad at myself becuase I know how to calculate it and I did the equasions too fast and fucked up by going the wrong way. Shit happens right?
Well we are working on a to of crap for the site. We still do not have internet yet at our apartment because uhh we can't afford it. Buying all of these photo supplies plus rent out here is killing us. We are going to try doing the update on Becky's computer and putting it on her jump drive and then uploading it from my comuter here at the campus. I hope it works even though I don't have Front Page on my puter.
We also had a financial aid meeting last night and it occurred to me how much this degree is going to cost. I mean I knew how much but seeing it again makes me really scared. If I borrow $120,000 to get this degree my minimum payment will be around $1200 a month. That's hard to swallow. I think it would be worth it BUT what if its not. What if I fail miserably and do not get the job of my dreams. EVERY photographer starts out on the BOTTOM. What if the bottom isn't good for THE BOTTOM LINE. That is me NOT living or depending on my parents for money when I graduate (Again). I am going to the financial aid office either tomorrow or Monday and am going to go through ways of cutting costs. Getting a full time job is out of the question becuase of the time it takes for classes and such. Not unless I can get a full time job that will work with me.
Or should I just look for a full time job....drop this and just do bands on my free time like I was before. I just know I wasn't happy doing photography on the side. I am just worried I guess that it won't work out for me. If I want this enough I will have to find a way.
It pisses me off that there are people making money doing photography and they dont know what they are doing they just get lucky and meet the right person. I need to meet that person.....WHERE ARE YOU!
Obviously I have a lot more to think about. It just seems with class and still trying to get our bearings on the Central Coast I do not have the time.
Hopefully I'll get furniture for the living room this weekend.
If anyone has any advice on what questions I should ask OLP let me know. I am going to be interviewing Duncan. HELP would be much appreciated :)
