OK so where to begin....
This month has found me in some interesting situations, most notably, Matt, the vocalist for Avenged Sevenfold driving me and their drummer in my truck back to their tour bus after some late-hour partying at a strip club. Yeah, so out of all the unexpected situations I've found myself involved in over the years, that definitely ranks up there. It was all good...however, the stripper following my truck back from the club didn't seem to fair so well. This girl is following us and we notice her swerving erratically in the rear-view. She got lit-up by the cops and pulled over. The tow truck was soon to follow...I'm sure it was jail-time for her.... Whatever, call me cruel, but better her than us. I was a little loaded after taking shots with the Reverend and the crew, and I suspect that Matt didn't have a license as he was concerned as to how I would deal with the situation if he got pulled over while driving my truck. Regardless, its not the first time I found myself partying with rock stars, but it was definitely an unusual twist to my evening. If only I could live the rock n' roll life on a more day-to-day basis...
Needless to say, working X-Fest a couple Sunday's ago was great. Everything went as smooth as it possibly could have gone, and I had some good bands on my stage. This is the first year I've had where I wasn't running around like a headless chicken trying to get things taken care of. This also left me time to hang out with some of the band members and give me stamina to make it throughout the day.
I was able to show a small sampling of my portfolio to the guitarist for Buckcherry and he dug the pics. He said he wanted to buy an original of this black & white pic I've done of this guy's head exploding, so I gave him a business card and he said he'd hit me up. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed on this one. Hopefully it will pan out in the end.
I managed to catch the Buckcherry show and stand onstage behind the drummer. Damn they put on a good show! I always like a band that knows how to rock it the fuck out. I will say that the drummer Xavier simply punishes his cymbals. They were all warped like a vinyl record left out in the sun too long. I've never seen anything like it. He told me that he just keeps trashing his cymbals and Sabian sends him newer ones. I guess they gave him grief over all the cymbals they keep shipping to him as part of his sponsership. I've cracked my fair share of cymbals, but damn, I've never warped them.
Other than that whole deal with X-fest, this month has found me breaking furniture accidently while boning with the girl (that was fun
), going to plenty of shows, spending probably too much $$$, and getting a promotion at work. I'll break it down like this....
1. Sex has been great and I find myself generally in a good mood.
2. I saw Tool last Monday and it was superb, I'm seeing them again tonight in Cleveland. Next month I'm going to Chicago to see Rolling Stones & I'm seeing KMFDM in Cleveland at the HOB.
3. I'm now going to be in charge of very large accounts at my job. I'm talking anywhere from 1,000 lines to 10,000 or more. I'm also the man to make em' pay up. (Gimme' my money bitch! I'm talking all $1.3 million of it!) I feel very priveleged to have this opportunity, as there are only 20 people with this job for the entire midwest area of the United States, which coincidentally, is one of our largest areas that we break down the country by. I'm in a temp position for 3 months, and then I'll be able to apply for the real deal afterwards. Wish me luck!
Thats it for right now. I'm sure I could write a book about these past few months if I felt like it....But I don't. I'm just gearing up to get back into the swing of things with my art and music this winter. I've been way too busy working on my house and such to really focus on the 2 things that mean the most to me (aside from my girly). I'm hoping thats gonna change...I hate getting sidetracked.
Adios.
