Hey, I am alive.
Quick update about shit that has happened in the last few weeks/months.
I have moved out of my parents house and bought a car. Thats right, I am not entirely on my own. I pay my own rent, car insurance, school fees, the whole shebang. It’s a little scary sometimes. I worry that I am going to get arrested and not be able to be bailed out, or go to the hospital and nobody be there, but I guess one has to fly from the nest sooner or later.
My band is playing again. We just played our first show in 5 months, and it was great. Had a huge singalong when we did our “Knowledge” cover. It was fun. A good 100 people were there. Awesome.
I have a girl who I have been seeing for more than a week for the first time in about a year. So thats cool. Her name is Ali, and she is significantly sexier than me.
Next week the ataris are playing a show at the santa barbara bowl with 311 and Lit. It should be fun. I have backstage through Kid (obviously). I have been joking with him everytime I see him that they should play “The Radio Still Sucks..” and for those who don’t know, the opening line is: “I’m so fucking sick, of Beck and 311”
muhahaha.
Speaking of Kid, and the Ataris, Down on Haley closed last week. It was sad, they had to give away all their merch. So I now have every Ataris shirt ever made. So yeah, Down on Haley is no more.
Also, about a month ago Sugarcult played a show on a boat called the Condor Express. It was fun. It was very VIP deal, So I called Marco and he put me on the band list. I am not that into Sugarcult, but they are fun guys and it was cool getting wasted on a boat watching a band.
More rockstar news, when I went to the lostprophets show in LA, not only did I meet all the Lostprophets (AGAIN) I also met Billy, and the fat bass player (whatever the fuck his name is) from Good Charlotte. Billy was cool. We talked about AFI for like an hour.
I also met Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave there, which was the first time I have been starstruck in a long time. I was a geeky fan boy for a while.
Looking forward to the Warped Tour this year. I should have backstage passes, so I get to meet everyone. Can’t wait to meet Bad Religion and NOFX, thats going to be the highlight of the day…and hitting on Agent M from Tsunami Bomb…heheh.
Oh, and the drummer from Godsmack came into the store today. Can’t remember his name, but he was very nice.
Well, I have another 2 hours at work, but its time for a cigarette now. I have slacked off long enough. Its nice being the assistant manager. Slacking off is essentially your job.
