I'm going thru some real emotional highs and lows lately. Things are happening so fast I feel my head spinning, both highs and lows. Let me try to put it all in perspective.

First off, my sister Jackie found out her 2nd MRI results. Nothing bad was showing up at all, it looked completely normal. I guess they did a more detailed look and what...

Somers Point Fire Hall #1, Somers Point, NJ 4/29/06

We had packed the van the night before. Andy and I would leave right from our job at 4. Kids went up with Tweety in the bug. Found the place pretty easy. Load in was quick. Since we were the first band to play we set up. I was going to play on a drum riser....

First off, the good news. My sister is home from the hospital. It's looking like what caused her symptoms was related to that medicine she was taking. All the tests did rule out stroke or heart trouble. However, the MRI did show she may have a possible benign tumor near her ear. The name of it is an "acoustic neuroma". She has to have a...

My sister Jackie is in the hospital. She called me from her one job to come get her and take her to the hospital. By the time Andy got me there I could see an ambulance leaving and knew it was her. I'm still not sure what happened. It might have been a reaction to the medicine Trilepital (sp?) she's been taking, or (and I...

Just found out the Black Crowes will be playing the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ on 7/21. Bad news is that's the last night of the Sheckies tour. We're supposed to be playing the Philly area as well. How ironic! This tour planning is getting me stressed out again. All these people saying they'll get something together and still nothing 100% confirmed. I just had...

Hurricane East, Wildwood, NJ 4/11/06

This was totally unexpected. I had a chance to get online yesterday evening and saw DJ Jimmy J had sent us a message thru My Space asking if we wanted to play with Raucous since the other band scheduled dropped out. I tried calling Andy, but he was out. I was on the phone with Cindy when I heard K...

Jackie's B-day party at Mike & Renee's house, West Cape May, NJ 4/8/06

This was a surprise party for Kite's girlfriend Jackie. I don't think she was surprised so much, but it was a fun time.

I had a long day at work and headed to the party right from there. Looks like everyone pretty much arrived the same time I did. Because of the...

Work has been kicking my ass. It's kinda hard to get back into the swing of things when you've been used to working 15 or less hours a week for several months. I basically worked 30 hours in 3 days Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. The kicker was working Saturday night then having to be there at 7 Sunday morning. I was so fucking tired I...

Hurricane East, Wildwood, NJ 3/28/06

This wound up being more of a "live practice". There was more staff there than customers. Either way, I had a great time and we played a ton of new songs live for the 1st time. We played the upcoming "Geek Pride" album in it's entirety as well as songs for the album after that, "Punk By Numbers".

The second...

We're playing another show at the Hurricane tonight filling in for Just In Case. We'll be the only band on the bill too so it will be a 2 set show. I'm kind of excited actually. I'm looking forward to playing these new songs live for the 1st time. Probaly will be another small turnout so it's almost like a live practice. As long as...
