From Ryan: Ahhhhhh! I want to be playing music. I’m sitting here ready to go the the rehearsal space and I can’t cos I have to blog. Can’t think of anything clever. I’m just gonna rattle off some stuff. We’re playing Maxwell’s in Hoboken tomorrow. Its rumored to be a mustachio bashio. This means that we may all have mustaches. I listened to Micheal Jackson all morning. Realized that he is a genius. One day someone will make a very good or very disappointing movie about his life. The sun is out and I still have a hard time not wearing my winter jacket. That reminds me, I started reading “Hard Times” by Charles Dickens. The setting in the beginning of the novel reminds me of the elementary school segment of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” I like it so far. Ok, out of stuff to say. It’s music time. See you tomorrow.
From Jared: “In this corner….weighing in at 210 lbs., and offering a full-time salary, health benefits, and a 401K……WORK! And in this corner….weighing in at 256 lbs,….and the hopes, dreams and aspirations of a hungry musician…..CARLON!!!!” The ongoing brawl of work vs. band in my life (and the band’s life) has recently been taken into the hands of the powers that be. I got laid off from my studio job this week. It’s so bittersweet that its giving me the shits. The suddenly more than flexible schedule and wide open possibilities are overly exciting, but the question of how I will pay next month’s rent keeps looming over me. If anyone knows how to make a descent living + health insurance + a flexible enough schedule to tour throughout the year…please, by all means, let me know. Headlining Maxwells in Hoboken tonight…..rock.
