Been a long couple of weeks. Lots of shows, most did well but I had to deal with some horrendous attitudes from certain bands. Entitlement issues galore.

Going through my usual "I need to take a step back and stop working so much" phase again. My personal life is in the proverbial shitter as all I do is work, work, eat, work... you get the point.
I honestly do think I am addicted to working though.

Two great one off shows this week. Wednesday is ANAAL NATHRAKH from England and Thursday is BLOOD DUSTER from Australia. A few people asked me how I get bands to do one offs like this all the time. Simple, I am reliable and I pay bands really well. No secret that money really DOES make the world go round.

Leaving for a small East Coast tour with THE DOLEMITE PROJECT at the end of June. Should be fun. I have a lot of stuff to get ready for this little excursion but it will ultimately be worth it. I love CREMATORIUM but doing things with CTM is so much more like "work" for me whereas things with TDP are more relaxed and fun.

A funny phenomenon to me has always been people who think that they can talk shit and the person they're talking shit about will not find out... especially on the internet! Bottom line is don't talk shit when you don't have a leg to stand on. It's a very simple code of ethics to be honest. If you do it, don't be surprised when the repercussions come rolling around.

Been catching up on movies after work lately. I used to do this all the time but I got sucked into watching shows on my DVR over the last few years. Watching movies makes me miss set building but I honestly don't like actors / directors, hahaha.
Oh... and for those of you that didn't know, I did attend college and my major(s) were English, Theater Tech and Film. I was planning on being a set builder until the romance of the overall industry fell apart. I also didn't have the money to finish so I never received a damned degree. D'oh.

Better do some laundry and get things together for work tonight. I have a long night of booty bling hip hop to mix. Gyeah.
