I haven't been able to post here in so long. My computer is still dead from Ike, and my laptop is just fried. Hopefully one of those situations will be remedied soon. I went out to the Ziegenbock Festival last Saturday, and had a blast. It was a Texas Country music festival hosted by Ziegenbock and Bud LIght. Alot of good music, and fun. For...

Next year you should set up a booth and charge $10 a pic

I actually thought about that when I go to the merchendise booth.
Ok, so I think I"m going with Plan B. A couple of weeks ago I was in a car accident, and that is going to leave me with a few new bills I'll need to take care of for a little while. I've been pretty upbeat about the whole scenario so far, and honestly feel that often times these situations/setbacks are ultimately helpful. Sometimes we...

How are things working out?
Just to let everyone know, I'm ok. I'm still living without electricity, and out of an ice chest or on army food; but myself, and my family are safe, so that's what I was worried about. My internet is down(of course), but I'll get back with you guys as soon as possible. Our apartment complex took alot of damage, but the damage to my apartment...

So it take a hurricane to make you update these days?
I am relieved to hear that you are all okay.

I wanted to let you know, you piqued my interest and a co-worker brought me some of her MREs to try. I think they're spaghetti and meatballs and chicken ciabaciatiotoasutori or something.
I am too scared to eat them, but too intrigued to throw them away.

pics from my 35th
Ok. My birthday was las tuesday, and we celebrated last night to promote my rock promotion at the club. By far the funnest birthday I've had that I can remember(and I know that I don't remember alot of this one!). I was hyped to book on of my favorite local bands SATURATE, for the party, along with SEPSIS, and RAGING APATHY. Unfortunately, SATURATE had to...

Happy (belated) Birthday though!!

After that, no hangover is the best birthday present you could ahve wished for!
I guess an update for my last inbittered blog is in order. Things seem to have straighted out for the most part. Some tension is still around, but after suspending my project to book some other groups, the owner asked me to go back to what I was doing on Thursdays. We'll see how it works out this time, I guess. Things seem back to...

Normal isn't so bad.
Like the old Chinese "may you live in interesting times" curse, wishing for change and excitement can bring them in an unwelcome way too.
Sometimes an anthill needs to be kicked over and sometimes a bar has to be torched to make it look like the owner was attempting insurance fraud...

Happy Birthday, Dudester!!!! 
I am giving serious serious SERIOUS though to quitting my job. Things that made this job fun seem to be put on the back burner just as I'm making heady progress, just so the GM can have some extra time off, and he's trying to feed me some line of bullshit that it's from the owner. I'm working alot of extra hours, for basically nothing....

Why does somebody always have to try and ruin it when things are going well?
On the other hand, it is hard to beat the feeling of liberation from quitting a job you can't stand.

Good luck with him.. Though noticing the date.. how's everything turning out these days?
Ok, so last night was my first attempt at establishing a "rock night" at the nightclub I work at.(which is a primarliy country and hip-hop ONLY venue). It went really well. Not a huge turn out, but we managed to pull in over 100 people, and for a first try, that's not too bad. One of my bands had to cancel, and the replacement also...

Hello SuicideGirls friend! This message is copied and pasted, but that doesn't mean I don't still love you, it simply means I prefer the ability to play bass as opposed to carpal-tunnel-from-re-typing! Haha!
Regardless...
If you can read this, that means I would really appreciate it if you were to check out my band, The Wrecktals! We just recorded a demo, and a couple tracks are up on MySpace, and then a track-or-two-that's-not-on-MySpace is on FaceBook.
CLICK THIS BIG PINK SET OF WORDS TO VISIT OUR MYSPACE!!!
We really wanna make friends with you! Seriously! That's one thing that a lot of bands hate... There's this nice fat fucking gap between fan and artist. Fuck that gap. Gaps need to be fucked. Fuck it! The Gap that is! So go there! And tell us what you think!
And if you are super-friendly and rad and awesome! You caaaan...
CLICK THIS OTHER SET OF BIG PINK WORDS TO VISIT OUR FACEBOOK PAGE!!!
And again, please tell us what you think! And if you know anybody who likes their punk and ska and hardcore... Please pass the good word on!
Look! We're like Rancid! Can we have some street cred now?
Wigglywigglywiggly!
This band is my baby. We are going to be successful (in terms of creating that feeling in someone's chest when they hear that song they love, not "successful" as in "money"). It's our dream and it's gonna happen through our own hard work and passion and love for radness!
But like I said, we have a demo out. You pay $4 and you get eight (wicked-quality) tracks that last almost half-an-hour, some sweet DIY eye-candy, and instant immortality/karma! That's right! Everyone who buys our demo will have their name immortalized somewhere on the next release! So make sure we know who you are! We want to thank each and every one of you who actually listened to us!
We're playing lots of rad underground shows and we support all of those who make music for the sake of creation and expression. I've been to every fucking band I can imagine within five-bajillion-miles of me, so the favour better be returned!
My name is Christoph, but most people call me Slut (short for PunkerSlut)... And you can call me Susan, if it makes you happy... But on behalf of The Wrecktals, thank you for your time! I hope you like us!
'Cause if you read all this, it means we already like you!
Live. Love. Unity.

Things keep moving right along. I've been really busy at work lately, and a friend of mine died a few weeks ago; so my head hasn't been completely on straight as of late. On the brighter side of things, my job has let me have my way, and given me full reign over booking rock/metal/industrial bands(whatever I want/choose), to establish us as a live rock...

Condolences for losing your friend.
Getting to book the bands is a dream come true. Now you finally taste real power. It must feel like being a king. I must confess some envy. Although if I were in your position I would be fired for continually hiring both surviving Hawkwind bands on alternate weeks.

So, Sunday was our charity fundraiser for B.A.C.A.(Bikers Against Child Abuse), and it was great seeing alot of hard work turn into something positive. I was running around like crazy all day, and half the night, but it was a definately worth while experience. The meat market who offerered to donate some meat for us to grill backed out, as well as some other vendors,...

I've been insanely busy recently trying to help get this put together, so anyone who bothers to read my blog for any reason, I am hoping to see there(I know that this will not be realistic for those who live out of the state/country). Also if any of you can think of anyway that you would like to help out, or any ideas that you...
