OMG
OMG Guys, I had the best freakin weekend of my entire life, and now... i'm still in shock....
Okay here's where I start what happened.
December 3rd, 2004 (Greatest Day eVer)
Okay, so after school me and 4 other people go to my dad's house so I can get some clothes and stuff, and then we head out to my mom's house, where we eat and stuff like that, but this stuff isn't important. About 5:30 ish we leave for Rock Angel to go see Tubring and 7 other bands. So we get there at 6, 1 hour early. Ryan from the Dishwashers is there, and he's like, what's up and so on and so forth, and I asked him if I could mess around on the drumset sitting around, and he was like sure man, I've known him since I was like 9 or whatever, so he's an awesome guy. I was playing around, and he's like, dude, do you want to be the drummer for the Dishwashers... and I"m like.. freakin out, and so I was like hell yeah!. Okay now get this...
I go on tour Dec. 17th, 13 dates until Jan 2. 2005 Going all over S.East U.S. playing in Little Rock, Orlando, Atlanta... cool stuff here okay now get this.... On Jan 14. 2005... I get to play with the Dishwashers, at the World Famous, CBGB's Underground Club in downtown New York City... oh my, if you don't know how big of a deal this is... let me explain to you.
If all goes well with this, I could
1# Quit School
2# Play Drums for fun for the rest of my life
3# Have too much money to know what to do with
4# Sit on my ass
This is a big deal. The Ramones got big in this club. So did Blondie, and Elvis Costello... this is huge you guys, you don't even realize, i'm on my way to stardom, and its like my dream is coming true even though I do live in this crap for brains town on Mayfield Kentucky. Okay now after taht....
The Rest of the night was awesome too, I got to see the Dishwashers perform, then Tubring... Tubring was amazing, I got really into it, I was singing like all their songs considering I knew all of them. Oh get this... Before the show the Keyboardist, Rob, was feeling a bit tired and out of it, so like 4 mins before they went on, I dashed to the store, and got him an energy drink... hahah, he went crazy. It was totally awesome. After the show I got a chance to sit around and talk to them one on one and stuff, they are really cool, there were 4 more bands after them. So they stayed for a while. Apparently Tubring is looking for a drummer too. But i'm not so sure I could get that job ^_^. But yeah, I got there set list, and a signed poster, and some other bands set list. It was totally awesome... I didn't sleep for the next 2 days, and last night I went to bed at 9:30 and slept till this morning. I've been listening to the Dishwashers cd a lot so I will know some of the songs before Thursday, that's our first practice. Alright just wanted to inform you on how my life has changed and I'm suddenly happy and those 2 months of crappyness were totally worth this.
-Out
