Show days.

People always ask me if I'm excited to play that night. Me personally, it doesn't sink in we're playing a show till about 15 min before we play. Usually while we're out in the parking lot doing P90X stretches and warm ups, listening to Periphery or August Burns Red. The day of the show is always weird. It's a "hurry up and wait" policy. I always wake up way too early, get ready in a hurry, drink a bunch of coffee and energy drinks, then realize its only 11:30 and I'm bouncing off the walls on caffeine. Oh, and I always make a check list or I'll forget something. My show day checklist this morning was; GTL, return "Due Date" to redbox, set all the time delays on my pedals, gas up the van, count the merch, and pack up my gear. It's 2:30 and I'm done with all of it : ). We don't have to be at the venue till 5:30 for load in. So, I decided to write it down. Currently jammin out to some MJ "Smooth Criminal." Pretty excited about our set list tonight. It's going to be; Dirty March, I've Got A Feelin, Walk Like A Gentleman, Interlude, New Noise, Rodeo, and Shapeshifting. It's a fun, high energy, rockin set list. Anyway the band will be here soon. So, I'll see you tonight at The Nile in Mesa around 6:30.

It's Monday, Monday, Monday.

I'm referring, of "course," to the show we jumped on a last minute, 2 days from now, on Monday March 28th at The Nile Theater in downtown Mesa. It is with; Jamie's Elsewhere, Life On Repeat, Divided By Friday, and Val Valiant. Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday, and Monday comes after...wards. If you don’t want this weekend to end...come to the show...it's Monday, Monday, Monday. (I feel like the commercial announcer for a monster truck rally)...Oh, aren't pop culture references fun!?!?! See you all there! (At the show, of "course," not the monster truck rally...(although, a monster truck rally would be fun to play (but it's kind of hard to overpower the sound of monster trucks (unless we used that amp Michael J. Fox had in back to the future))))
