Been busting my tail on this project I have been working on for the past few weeks and I don't feel any closer to being done and it's do tomorrow. Ugh. Good news is I get to escape for awhile and go camping this weekend.
I never thought I would get this old and still be single.

There are way worse things than being single. I've been good, just laying low a little more than usual. We gotta grab a beer and catch up one of these days!
Awe birthday wish fail. 
I get amazed how fast people jump to conclusions sometimes. Twice today I was reminded of this. I am at the office working away and this guy emails one of my bosses to tell him that I screwed up his drawings because one of the designs that I was given shows what he wants and the three other designs I was given show something different....

So in efforts to keep busy while I have been unemployed I have been working on art. Lots and lots of art. First I came across this website called Talenthouse and submitted these two gems.
Thievery Corporation - Compass Rose Design (Art Contest)
Mastodon - Dry Bone Valley (Art Contest)
Then I found another website called designcrowd and entered two more designs.

Finally booked a venue... we now have 4 bands on the schedule. I must finish the posters today... So much work so little time.

Yeah... well the venue called me later in the morning and canceled. So I am back to square one.

I am not sure why either considering that the most expensive sponsorship request is only $1000 dollars I thought that I would get a lot of call backs. It basically...

Not quiet sure how I got myself talked into this... but it looks like I am now a promoter. I have a friend in California that is in a band and he'd asked me to help him book a venue.

Well, I usually booked up to 4 months in advance for shows...so your on a pretty tight time frame.

I've learned that walking into every venue will get people's attention. They get too many calls about jobs and bands wanting to play everyday honestly...
Make sure you pick the right bar for your target audience though...
