Well here I am folks. Back, with more batteries, so I won't dissapear from the world of blog for so long again. Whenever I look back on any of my past journals, I always see the same thing. First there will be like seven entries in one day. From there, it'll gradually decrease until the gaps in between posts grow to weeks.
But that's alright, you can't grow cereal in a day.
First off, today was not a Snow Day. It was a Cold Day, which is legal, I swear. I was in the shower, and around 6:50-ish or so, mommy knocked on the door and said all Williamsville schools had just been cancelled. I didn't jump up and down for some reason. Hmm, let's analyze.
a. I could've slipped, fallen, and drowned.
b. I had spent all night and morning finishing a twelve page Anthro project.
c. I hate not being able to see everyone that I do in school.
So I went back to be after waving my mom off. Unfortunately she still had to work, and unfortunately my brother and step-brother still had to go to college. Apparently
Cecilia did too! Brr *shiver.*
I woke up around noon, tried to will myself to get out of the warmth of the blankets, go downstairs, and do something. But then I melted into the mattress again, not at all feeling bad. When I woke up at 3:00 though, I did. Really I had just wasted a whole good Cold Day. I didn't accomplish anything.
So I trudged down the stairs and unwrapped one of these knew Cereal Square things (tm) from Quaker. I cracked some eggs on a pan, and then checked the messages. First was from Mr. Miranda, he basically just said that the Zoologic Garden field trip scheduled for tomorrow would be cancelled due to the "extreme cold." So now, if we have school tomorrow, I'll be able to see this art speaker's whole presentation. I don't know though, I haven't been to the zoo in years - even though it wasn't the zoo, and was psyched about it.
I also got a little pissed that I missed his called. Talking to him would've been really cool. Drew got to. ;_;. Semi-colon crying! Anyways, the second message was from Concert First or something. The number the woman left was an 800 number, so I was expecting a rather large company. Which is cool, I just still don't get how our band's name spreads so fast and so far. A big thanks to all you promoters, booking agents, and word-of-mouthers out there.
A few hours and eye-rubbings later, I gave them a call. I was put on hold, with some cool beeping instead of elevator music, but that's okay. The lady who then picked up the line matched the voice on my machine, so we talked. See, she runs this company in Atlanta, they distibute show info. to bands they've heard of. So I gave her all our necessary stuff, and now we'll be getting advance notices on gigs with available bill spots. That was cool. The fact this was based in Atlanta was cool too, we're known out of state apparently.
Then I continued my battle against that realphx/spyware bug all of you see in mine and your own profiles. Don't click the link within the link if you haven't figured this out. Anthony was scared when I told him, he almost had.
Tomorrow I should have it fixed though.
And now to the other 90.136strawberry67 % of my life. The
band. We have a show Sunday, here's the story behind it.
Random Flag had originally been on the bill with some hardcore band I believe. However in the Gusto this weekend, you could mysteriously find our name amongst theirs.
Dan Klash had for some reason added us. No problem, whatever. I'll be calling him tomorrow, or talking to him tonight, depending on if he comes online or not, just to confirm.
It's this Sunday, Voelker's Bowling Center, show at 9:30 p.m. The following day we have off for school for Dr. MLK, so don't have your parents worry. 10 smackers for the show, two games of bowling, and shoes.
Following this, is our Krays tour show.
Venue |
Exposure USA East [Brand new venue, on par with Showplace apparently.]
Date | Monday, January 26th.
Times | Doors at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets | $10, all ages.
Directions | 2304 Union Road. West Seneca, NY. Turn right on Walden to go south, it's at the corner of Union and French.(716) 400-5546 or (716) 816-5522.
The line-up.
Bangerang | Young kids, great aggressive sound. They're not just some amateur band, trust me. Depending on if they finish mastering or not, Bang's CD may or may not be at the merch booths.
Painted Politics | We've been compared to Blanks 77,
GBH,
Anti-Flag, and
Defiance. Our E.P., You And Whose Army? will be available for purchase.
Switch86 | Old school sound matched perfectly with Tom Nasty's angry voice. One of the biggest WNY-ers. They'll most likely bring all their CDs.
The Clockers | Oi, but not typical skinhead oi. They really don't have a
Roger Miret-ish sound to them, but they're definitely awesome. I don't know about merchandise for these guys.
The Tosspots | Mega, mega-old school. They've been named with
Beerzone many many times, and for good reason. Possibly the biggest of the scene. They'll probably have merch.
The Krays | Here they are, the headliners. I really shouldn't have to tell about them, and it'd be hard to. One thing however, a good change from the now-a-days punk, they actually have complexity to their songs. Yes they'll have merchandise.

Buffalo Shows]
Following that we'll be playing at Voelker's again with
Cause For Chaos. These guys are brand-new to scene, but individually have been involved for quite some time. Lose Meat Lisa tells me they sound like a combination of
The Virus and AGT. So either way, it'll be a bodacious show. The kids set up the show, but apparently want to open for us, thanks to Johnny Anderson. So that gives you some idea of the line-up.
RF will also be on this show.
And finally, pertaining to the
site. I know there still haven't been any updates. I just can't figure out what's wrong with that damn roll-over coding. Only some of them don't work, which makes absolutely no sense at all. I really think it'll be up and ready to go this weekend though. I promise this time.
For you Link-Crazed ...Cadavers out there, here's some stuff about none of you will enjoy!
Nanase Aikawa | This is here official site. To me, she's the hottest girl there is in j-music. Here music is a mix of the techno-ish j-rock, kind of like
L'Arc's bad stuff, only good. Her voice isn't mega-bubbly for you Shinohara fans (I am one) out there. It's still amazing though.
Here is probably my favoritestest pic of her ever. Enjoy.
Her more recent concerts include guest appearances by Shinya, the legendary drummer of the legendary, (in Japanese terms, this seems to be synonomous with broken-up,) group
Luna Sea. She has also played with Marty Friedman, the gee-tarist of Megadeath, if you're into that metal stuff.
I guess that's it. More to come as it does. Love to all and to all a good night.
And if you're wondering why my mood is "Flirty," ask yourself this. When am I not?
