Where did the time go?
Well its been a while...again. Caught up a little bit on other people's journals. Luci had an amazing trip to Cali, sounds like a lot of fun. I'd like to go to California some day too. I'm pretty sure the guy in the plaid vest is a disney employee, looks like one of their uniforms, at least based on my WDW experience. I also read Hannah's journal. Sounds like things are going well for her too. The wedding is coming up in November. Hannah, give me your address so I can send you a save the date card.
I just got back from Texas. I recorded 5 songs in my uncle's studio. I now have a pretty decent sounding demo. If anyone would like to hear it, please let me know and I'll get you a copy. I'm going to try to start playing more shows. Maybe try to play like once a month somewhere. Even if it's open mic, I don't care, as long as I'm getting out there. It's not like I get paid for the regular shows anyway so what's the difference between that and open mic? Either way, it's at least 1 more person that's heard of me. I got a new message board on my website. I wish I knew web design so I could make my site look half way decent. I'm working on it. I'm getting some new recording gear and I'm going to give a new album a go. Need to write some words and finish it up but I'd say I'm off to a pretty good start. My parents went with me to Texas and we had a pretty good time. We did 5 other songs with my dad, my uncle and me. A few of them had my aunt, mom, and cousin too.
The recording part was good, it kind of seemed like my aunt was being a little difficult, and I felt out of place on many more than 1 occassion, so it was kind of a mixed bag but I'm still glad that I took the trip. Hopefully it will be better next time. I'm starting UF again this summer. I think I posted about that whole situation before. I'm hoping I can get everything back on track and graduate so I can quit Lowe's and get a real job. As you all know, I pretty much hate my current job. I cannot wait to not have to work retail anymore. If things go well with music, maybe I won't have to teach either. Either way should be better than where I am now.
Well I guess that's about all that's going on now. Hope everyone is doing ok. Till next time,
Travis
