72. stop and stare

so i got this sweet new skinny tie... check it



ebay'd it from hong kong for like 4 bucks.  you can't beat that.  late last night we finished vacuuming the warroom after taking down the wall.  tomorrow we pick out some freshboy carpet as well as a couch.  then later that night we're headed up to a bar in katonah to mingle and make some new friends.

tonight we watched Deja Vu.  it's a solid movie, i highly recommend it.  also, we were picked up by a new booking agent.  his name is justin hirschman.  he's got a lot of big bands so i guess we'll be touring a bunch this year on some solid tours.

ok i need to go take my ambien and pass out or else my sleep schedule will flip flop again.  night pals

70. one million plays!!!

we finally re-enter the million mark for myspace plays today... we had over 5 million when myspace put our entire page back to 0. that was really a great day. we put a friend's music player in our bulletin and without warning, they pulled the trigger hard.

adam's coming over to write songs today.

i saw THE BEST episode of any game show i've ever seen. the show is "1 vs. 100" with bob saget. the show used to suck but they changed the rules and made it more interesting. here's an 8 minute clip of the end of the ep i saw. amazing.

69. absolutely nothing

that's right i have nothing to say. when i invented the daily blog, i figured the future of our band would hold noteworthy events and i'd be letting you in on them first hand, but the truth is... activity has never been less. i wake up, i eat food, i write, and i go out sometimes. NOTHING COOL HAPPENS!!! now my hope is that after writing this blog, our lives will somehow just blow the hell up and i will eat these boring words of mine. i feel on the verge of something... like a volcano that's got the shakes. we have a lot of great material stocked up and a song that's going to radio in the coming weeks (no date yet). as always, we'll keep you posted. a package came and i thought it was my pink tie, but it was a "new kids on the block" snap bracelet from 1991 (ask greg about that one). oh yeah and we impulse buy on ebay.

68. minnesota called

as i blog about our day of shopping at the outlet center at woodbury commons, greg is talking to some random girl from minnesota on the phone. dont know how she got our number but she talks a million miles an hour and very softly. i think that's a first for that. we're headed to get some groceries, then come back and jam. i got a sick white belt today.

we're hitting nyc tomorrow night... i think we're going to see Holiday Parade at knitting factory at 8pm.

time to make music,

67. no payments 15 months!

greg's back from vacation today. steve comes back tomorrow... it's going to feel nice to become a band again. we haven't created anything new in over a month (and to you guys... a lot longer). we've got a lot of work to do the rest of this month. our single (these are the nights) gets mastered on monday and then there's no looking back. we'll probably end up on tour this year at some point so we'd better see you out there!!!

we're doing some home renovations next week as well. we're knocking down the wall that i'm looking at right now and making our studio room bigger.

i owe Sam Ash 3 grand by the end of next month which i'm not thrilled to pay. i bought my Taylor acoustic 14 months ago... and i didn't have to pay anything for 15 months. that really creeps up on you!
