Tomorrow I don't have school (3-day weekend!) so I'll spend the morning at work and spend the night watching local band Gimme 5 perform. If you're in the Carbondale area, you should definitely check them out: they are going to be performing in Longbranch Café at 10pm on Friday in the back room. They always put on a awesome show. I'll probably be helping out with sound and I'll take some pictures. Saturday is the annual Oblong Spooktacular Field Show & ...

Right know I think that staying a sysadmin would be a better job, but I was offered a bit more money ($8/hr as opposed to $6.50/hr) and the ability to work longer and have a more flexible schedule.

We didn't do as great as we hoped; nevertheless, we were able to beat Marion, a local rival, in both competitions. The other bands besides Marion and us were perdominately from the St. Louis area and therefore very big and well-funded. Most of them used semis ...

It went alot better than last week but we still have work to do... on Tuesday we have Media Night where we perform a exhibition of our show, Mask of Zorro, for anyone interested. We invite the media in particular; thus the name Media Night, but anyone can come. If you haven't seen our show yet you should check it out at 7pm at the CCHS football ...

Sorry for a lack of updates lately, I've been so busy with band, work, etc. It's crazy. Today was the first day of full band camp, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I'm very tired. I think I might get to go to Six Flags and Nashville before school starts... can't wait! However, Gimme 5's last show with Grace Mitchell on keys will be on the same day as when I leave for Nashville... too bad. She's leaving for college and ...
