(no subject)
So, it's been a while since I've actually wrote on here. So I guess I'll give you a quick little rundown of what I've been up to the last 3 months or so.
MARCH.
My job at Cirque du Soleil ended in the beginning of the month.
Hung out with Peachcake for 10 days in various states.
Rode and lived in a van for a week straight.
Got a little taste of life on the road.
So far, I love it.
Expierenced the phenomenom known as SXSW.
Seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
Driving.
Broke up with Kelly.
Lame.
Life goes on.
Highlight shows of March:
Steel Train @ SXSW.
Limbeck @ SXSW.
All of Peachcake shows @ SXSW.
Satisfaction @ Epicentre.
Motion City Soundtrack @ SOMA.
APRIL.
I was suppose to go on tour for a month with Peachcake.
Some last minute things happened and I couldn't go.
Bummer.
They said they'd take me out on tours in the future.
So, that's good.
Began job searching.
Not much luck.
Did a job as an extra on the set of Veronica Mars.
It was long and boring.
16 HOURS!
Hung out with June for 3 days.
I forgot how great the Format was.
And I discovered how amazing Anathallo was.
Good times.
Had a dance party with Limbeck and other friends.
That was really good.
Not much else happened in April.
Highlight shows of April:
The Format/June/Anathallo in Pomona and LA.
Limbeck @ OCMA and Chain Reaction.
Peachcake in San Diego.
Angels & Airwaves @ Chain Reaction.
MAY.
FINALLY got a job.
I sell tickets at various places in the Wild Animal Park.
I get to see animals (ducks, mainly) everyday.
It's great.
I've met some good people there too.
I like it.
Started talking to a really great girl.
Too bad she lives 3000 miles away.
Other than that, not much happened in May.
Not many shows either.
Highlight shows of May:
Peachcake Dance Party in Temecula.
The Audition @ Chain Reaction.
MC Lars @ SOMA.
JUNE.
Hung out with my good friends in June and The Junior Varsity.
TJV played "Do You Mind?" twice for me.
So good.
After those shows, I saw what was probably one of the best shows I've seen in a long, long time.
The line-up was...
Sherwood.
House Of Fools.
Paulson.
And Get Back Loretta.
I danced and had a great time watching all of those bands.
So much fun.
Definetly in my Top 5 favorite shows ever.
My dad was admitted into the hospital this month to undergo his treatment for luekemia.
My aunts Joyce and Nancy flew in from Pennsylania and Florida to see him before he went in.
It was really great seeing them again.
I hadn't seen my aunt Nancy for about 3 years or so.
She looks so much like my grandma now.
It's cool though.
It's gonna be a long road till my dad is full recovered and everything.
I'm more than confident that he's gonna be alright in the end.
The more and more I talk to a certain someone,
The more and more I want that certain someone to be here with me.
This whole distance thing sure does suck.
At least we have something to look forward to in the future.
But yeah, basically.
The Steel Train Band is coming in 2 weeks.
I'm super stoked.
It's gonna be good times as always.
Maybe another BBQ like last year.
We'll see.
I get see Damiera on the 25h in San Diego.
I'm excited to see them because they're incredible.
Can't wait to see them.
So yeah.
This is the return of the LJ by Mike.
Expect more in the future.
Until then, take care and love each other.
Mike.
