home from class, and just bought tickets for Modern Life Is War's last show in Marshalltown, Iowa. 10 bucks. we drive to IA on april 25th. there was never a hesitation to go to this show. i have an entire song by them tattoo'd on my side., and after seeing them in Detroit w/ The geeks, ambitions and BANE last year, it just seemed right. so im psyched.
---I want to say that the links underneath my "info" section are just links to blogs of people i like and enjoyed reading, and kind of inspired me to write about things where evryone can read. ive met them a few times, but other than that, im just a fan, and think you could benefit from reading some of the things they say.---
OTHER NEWS. tiger is going in to record a full length at the end of this month in grand rapids with the Otte bro's. they great work, and some of our friends have had great experiences with them. we were pretty set on playin to a metronome for this record just to make it tight, but as this month has passed, we decided it just wouldnt be right. after listening to this new PAINT IT BLACK record (which is fuckin off teh hook) and other various hardcore/punk records, we decided to scrap it and just rely on hard work and preperation. we have 3 days to do 12 songs, so itll be intense, but we can handle. MLIW is coming to Detroit the day after we are finished, so were thinking about driving down there for that. Deady is taking off for vaca in FLA that day, but the rest of us might make the trip. they probably wont have any merch left by the time we see them in April, and i need a shirt. My roommates mother passed away this past weekend, so today, me and pieter (other room mate) will be going to the service. its snowing like crazy and were driving north and inland...right into a snowbelt. but its for a good cause. thats what anything involving a drive comes down to..."is it for a good cause?" driving to shows, see girlfriend, visit old friends, etc... all legit. this fits in there. he's a great dude, and were doing our best to help him through this time.
Side note: i found the journal from when i toured with this band called BLISSTRIPP, and some shit is pretty fuuny, so i'll be posting entries from that soon. take care. --jh--
