catching up with childhood games

So with all this craziness going on about our travel plans, my friend melanie and i have still found time to play a little catch...

remember when you were a kid and they had those velcro mits? well we bought some at cvs and started to pass the time at work playing catch in the ally.

Well not only did we hit cars, got our ball run over, lost our ball in the gutter, and smashed a mit we had to break down and buy our second set of the week ..haha..

but i have to say it makes the down time fun..and we die laughing..kind ove makes you feel like your a kid again -- especially when you end the intense game with a dels.

crazy summer plans, from prov to australia

Ok so a lot has been going on since my last entry...but first let me fill you in on a couple things going on this weekend.

Dear hunter plus a couple other bands will be playing at the as220 on sat. i believe..theyre def. worth checking out, i saw them play with the format a few months ago.

there is also summer session wich is going on sat. night i believe over in between tazza and the black rep, it shoud be an eclectic mix of people and events worth checking out.

so i decided to take a little break from going out to save some money...but with good reason lol.

In aug. im going to philly to visit my friend daniel, not only does he produce areodrone but he is also coming out with a cd. check it out spoill on myspace

so im lucky b/c not only do i get to catch up with a good friend but i get to sneak a peak at all his upcoming projects!

At the end of aug. a couple of good friends and i plan on going on a small road trip eventually ending up in portland ME for my friends concert (madina lake), you can also catch them on the projekt rev. tour with linkin park...

and finally in Jan. i'll be going down to Australia to visit my friend ant...and for 2 1/2 weeks he's taking me on tour with the band he works for (the living end) !it should be fun b/c they are on Green Days label and are playing with a bunch of other bands who are suppose to be amazing, and dont worry i'll be keeping you up to date with all these stories.

So trying to figure all these things out has been taking some time, so ive been laying low with the nightlife but only for a bit.

Hanging at the beach has been my get-away lately wich is awsome b/c with all the diff. things going on in the couple months im going to need all the relaxing i can get lol.

Some thing to look forward to is live music! In a couple weeks shiny to guns and the bravery are playing bru's summer concert series, and silverstein (one of my favorites) are playing with rise against Aug 18 at lupos..and in Mass the smashing pumpkins and the cure are playing show in the up-coming months.

And i almost forgot to tell you local favorites zox are recording their new cd as we speak..and as soon as they wrap i get to hang with john to catch up and get the scoop on the new material!

So with all this going on expect a ton of updates while im on my adventures...well its getting late and i need to catch up on some sleep..till next time..

Taking the stress out of having fun

Im happy we are at the end of our 4th of july weekend. I have to be honest im glad this week is over! With work being slow, a strange turn of events, and trying to stick to all the plans we had this week, im exhausted.

Even though it was suppose to be all about the 4th, my friends and I did more celebrating on the 3rd..why? Well it was my best friend D's birthday!

The girls and I rented a huge room on the 16th floor of the biltmore for the night...the plans entailed getting dinner at trinity brewhouse, then heading over to club hell for 80's night.

A bunch of friends and family came to meet up with us..but the party didnt end when the club closed...everyone came back to the room for the after party. It was one of those situations where you turn around and all of a sudden the room is filled with people (crazy!)..but it was a blast, we had the room filled with balloons and D's brother brought his guitar so we were all jamming out.

Im surprised we didnt get kicked out! Thank god i only had one haircut the next day considering i was super tired...but the 4th was uneventful. I guess that was my fault.

Even though the previous night was fun i needed a break from going out. I was begining to feel like i was seeing the same places/people, and the fun in going out is to expand and to see new places and people but also not to forget about some of your favorites.

I had to let go of having expectations for our nights and start living in the moment more like i was before..you cant plan the fun and memorable times, they have to find you.

After staying in for the 4th the following night seemed to be a different scene (yes!) It was my friend chuck and kevins movie premiere...they were sending in this tape to MTV and comedy central to try to get their own show.

Let me tell you this movie was amazing...between their super funny pranks and skits it also had clips from a ton of shows they played over the years. I have to say i think they have a chance! Its unique, funny, and they make you feel like you've known them for years. It was such a nice change of pace!

Sat. night rolled around and i was out to eat with my dad. i swore i wasnt going to go out but my friends and i were invited to AS220 to check out a bunch of bands.

Randomly ran into Emily's friend Ben who was outside and his roommate Vincent who i met on my birthday. Even though i didnt go to the after party after the show (surprise surprise) it was a lot of fun to hang with Ben and Vincent..i can see many more fun times to come!

That brings me to the end of my weekend...it was fun and im glad i got a chance to chill out and not put too much planning into my new plans...

i think at times we try to detour ourselves from the stresses of life by taking on extra projects or just trying to escape, but in return the stress is still there...so ive done everything to get rid of it and start this week on a nice clean stress free slate!
