Sometimes you think it's 2008, but that's completely OK.

we'll do a quick little run down of my life for the past month. It's been a while...

So yea, Finished printing most of my winter release for paradox. I did everything but one shirt i wanted to do. No biggie though, I'm extremely happy with what i put out. The economy is taking a small toll on my sales. My normal poorer demographic is even more poor. Boo frickity who... I'm over it :)

The release shows were cool. There were a bunch of shows i sold at this past month and they were all pretty rad. Rockfest 3.5 was definitely a lot cooler that i thought it would be. Attendance was great and there were a lot of good bands.

The cigar igloo was a bit of a disappointment. First off, Coop and I ordered i think 130 "cigars", which was awesome.... until we realized what we had ordered. We ordered our normal white owl's and decided to go out on a limb and try some new brands. We found a raspberry "Bliss" cigar from our supplier and basically got it because it had nice cleavage on the box. TERRIBLE choice, I must say... They turn out to be filtered, cigarette like objects. Awful things. We ended up selling a good chunk of them to Emilee who we peer pressured into smoking with the help of Dustin :) good times...

We waited the entire break for packing snow, but for those of you who didn't go outside in January, it was an average of negative 70 degrees outside, which makes for awful packing snow. We attempted making one anyways with about 8,000 gallons (PDP's rough estimate) of water and fine powdery snow... It turned out to be a pretty kick ass ice bunker, and that's it.

Then, RIGHT as people leave to go back, we get perfect packing snow. go figure... Oh well, until next time.


PDP Productions did some pretty rad shows too (rockfest 3.5 included as i mentioned before). We did one particular show in Albany, NY which took huge turns for the better, and ended up kicking our ass for the worst. The show turned out to be a lot better then we'd expected, we met some rad people and had a pretty kick ass time. We had a bent axle that we were aware of and were pretty skeptical about. We started the voyage home, only to pop two tires on our trailer, and then having to have our trailer towed back to Greenfield. It turned a 2 hour drive into about 7 hours. Before the tow though, Coop and I had a chicken Mcnugget eating contest. Never do this in your life.... They just taste awful after you get into the twenties. By the thirties, It's not even a chicken flavor.... Interesting night.

I'm currently sitting in my room twitching and writing this. I got three wisdom teeth out Thursday morning, which kinda blew. I only had three, unlike the traditional four (brushes shoulders off). I'm on Vicodin which is giving me the shakes. It gets super annoying but I'm over it. I had to do two shows for a local middle/ high school today which was interesting. It turned out really well though :) Vicodin is giving me CRAZY dreams too. It's pretty cool if you don't mind waking up every 20 minutes thinking your in weird ass situations. haha.

It's my mom's birthday today. Go her!

School finally starts Monday, which reminds me that i still need to register for a fifth class. This month break was a little too much for my liking. I can't wait to go back, finish my second semester, then have a kick ass summer. I found an old friend from last year's Warped Tour and found out he's doing Bamboozle down in NJ. He kindly asked me to tag along and sell for him. I'm super stoked because: A.) I can sell water to fish B.) Enter Shikari is playing. That never happens C.) I love music festivals and have wanted to go to Bamboozle for a while D.) The dudes I'd go with rule.

Warped '09 should be pretty interesting. I'm still figuring out stuff with getting Paradox up and running on the tour. I think it should work out nicely.


But seriously, It's 2009 already? What happened to my life?


I'm making enemies again... tisk, tisk.
