Contractor

So i've told myself at least once everyday that i need to blog for the the last few days and i have found myself just staring at my computer with a blank mind. so this is me forcing a blog out. which is kinda like forcing a baby out but a lot less painful i'd imagine.

the biggest news in my life as of late has been my dealings with utenited and the up coming pfh show.

so here goes neils story:
i was sitting by the coffee area of the dining hall. reading my history book and eating pizza/drinking coffee (yes i have such a healthy diet, i know) so i'm minding my own business and david the utenited head hancho man is bouncing around and he stops on me and ask what i'm reading blah blah blah. so then the table next to me is full of his utenited attendees (for those of you who are say wtf?! what is utenited i will tell you. it is the non-denominational christian worship group that gets together sings praise songs and what not) so he tells his minions that he wants to win a nobel peace prize and i hear that and listen in to him. his theory was about tornadoes blah blah blah. so after that he comes over and we have an actual conversation on dreams and goals. so i tell him i want to run a recording studio and that i'm studying composition and then he gets really interested. he tells me he was an opera major his first year of college. blah blah blah he tells me that the worship band is really good and that i should check them out just for musics sake. so i do and he's right the band really can rock and as i'm leaving he says if you write us a piece we'll run with it. so i'm blown away that this hyperactive little man would ask a freshman with no experience or knowledge to write a song.
so i ponder the idea the whole week and then i go and talk to him some more and basically we talked things out and decided that we need to have a meeting between me, the band, him, and josh rosenthal who will be doing the lyrics because i'm incapable at that. so thats exciting i'm continuing to go to these gatherings because i'm intrigued by people of faith more then annoyed anymore. no i am in know way looking to find christ in my life and be saved. but it is a group of people who i relate to for some reason. hopefully things continue to go well with that.

and on to the Postcards from Hell front. we are opening a show at new song underground on April 2.
the reason this i bigger then any other show is that the other bands are Alas the Dreamer who are definitely bigger then us, Kill the Mockingbird, and Cromwell.

the last two names may mean nothing to you but they do to me. They are both signed to record labels and they are from california and they are stopping here. and we get to open for them. this show will easily be the biggest and most impactful in the bands history so far.

so really i want everyone there. and i don't just mean everyone like the show in december i mean like everyone who knows about postcards and everyone who doesn't but knows any band member. period. i want to get tons of people there and not for money or anything like that. i just want that place to be packed. and to have people there who will rock out.

and on that i am done.
