10/17/11

Hey all!

I was a tad reclusive last week since I had to finish up a new song with the quickness. Though I'm digging on it, it totally didn't turn out how I expected. My tunes usually take their own path, no matter what direction I steer them in...

Despite keeping myself mostly locked up, I was treated to a few awesome distractions throughout the week.

The Arch Drive Goodbye crew stopped over at IND HQ midweek for some hanging/scheming. They're still hip to letting me cover one of their tunes for the live set. I'm a bit behind schedule on making that a reality, but I should be able to knock it out quickly once the production phase of the new EP is completed. I really cannot wait to get all of that done & get it out there.

I was ecstatic to participate in Operation Freedom Foam on Friday. To summarize, my little brother is serving in Afghanistan with the USMC. After asking what it would take to get some sweet Dog N Suds root beer shipped over to him via their Facebook Page, the company started a campaign to raise funds to pull it off. So, an event was held on Friday at their location on SR 52 to load up palettes of root beer to be shipped off. The best part was getting to see my little bro's face & chat with him on Skype. While the day was an over-all success, I am semi-bummed that I didn't realize the Purdue Basketball team was helping load the van up, so I missed an opportunity to wish some good mojo on Robbie Hummel's knee. :-)

Saturday I got an offer to help out with sound for the People's Brewing Fall Bash 2011. Since I was a bit indecisive on how to spend my day, it was a no-brainer to go get some great beer & food while watching sick pickin' from Woodstove Flapjacks & Root Hog. To all involved: great job!

Switching gears...

Much appreciation to those of you that contributed to my Facebook Fan Page surpassing the 100 'likes' mark! I hope I see you cats out at the shows coming up!!

The first club date is coming up next Saturday (8/29) at the Jerilee's in Lafayette with Our Albatross & Draekon. This will be a very diverse show. Plus, it's a Halloween shindig! To get more details & RSVP, check out the Facebook Event. Please share!

That's gonna do it for this week's update. I have a long list of duties to complete before the next blog entry.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!!
