Holy shit, what a night. It was raining so hard on the way home from my hockey game that even with my windshield wipers on full, I still could barely see. It was crazy rain, coming down at almost a 45 degree angle. My hockey game was fun though, my team spent more than half the game killing penalties, but still one 7-0.

What a week. first the SNFU show, then we find out that the BedlamSociety.com wants to present our CD release show on April 3. Then, our little Island jaunt gets cancelled due to venue problems. Crazy, all the highs and lows of being a musician again.
Also, we updated our site a little, new snazzy flash intro:

Man, what a night! Thanks to the so beautiful Siobhan for the sweet tarts! that was amazing, almost as amazing as she is! And almost as beautiful as she is to, cause she is one damn amazing women! So much fun, met a few SG people at my bands gig with SNFU tonight, it was so awesome.

Radio interview was fun, Billy Hopeless is a crazy guy, pretty awesome! Tonights the night, The Retreads, SNFU and the Rebel Spell at the Cobalt 917 Main Street Vancouver. If any of you come, say hi!

If anyone in the Vancouver area cares, my band is doing an interview on 99.3 CFOX's punkorama show on Thursday night at 11. Should be good times, not big on mainstream radio, but hey, it's a punk show and any exposure is good exposure. If you're not in the area, you can also listen online from their site:

I've never felt like I've been cheated so much as I do right now. I know, boring hockey, but I'm choked. My team(bantam aged 13-14) worked so hard all year to be in the position to go to a provincial final and then to have that taken away from them by a ref. I'm not one to complain about ref's after the fact, if you...

Holy recording mania! Two 11pm till 8am sessions down, two more to go. We're recording at the hive with Stu from End This Week With Knives, he's awesome, some of the best drums and guitar sounds I've ever heard. Can't wait till it's done, it's gonna rule. Can't wait to get back to going to bed at a natural time, even if I just lie...

I'm in a cool studio in Burnaby called the Hive, recording our ep that we're releasing later this month and it's going awesome, other than the fact that the engineer and both my guitar players are crashed out. Pretty funny actually, got the drums and half one guitar player done and then they decided to have a nap, well, i've been sitting here bored out...

same shit, different night (check previous nights ramblings)

4:48 AM, can't sleep, so might as well type. Should be working on a business card for a car audio store and a webpage for a hockey team, but I'm blank right now, just waiting for the sun to come up so I can go to bed, wich I should have done hours ago, but I bowed down to the corporate addiction I've been fighting...
