Full Weekend

Hello friends. I finally updated my infodizzle and want to start keeping in touch. We had a long but sweet weekend. (Thursday) Adam, Josh, and I stayed up late messing with beats and the new micro sampler, which I am veeeery excited to abuse. (Friday) Started early with no sleep on file. Performed and interviewed for Atlanta & Company on Atlanta 11Alive News! It was pretty freakin cool knowing that I've dreamt of being in that very building from watching it everyday. And not to mention we witnessed Bradly Cooper through satellite getting ready for an interview right after us. Next, we were off to Georgia Public Broadcasting for a 25 minute set and a 15 minute interview that will be aired on July 3rd. Google the stations for your particular city/town for details. Last but not least, we drove 2 1/2 hours to Augusta to play at Sky City for the Shine for Scott Benefit Concert. Scott passed from cancer, leaving a wife and two daughters. The concert was created to raise money for his family. His medical bills were overwhelming and not totally covered by his insurance. Please visit their site for the full story and give any thing you can to help. I have personal experience with losing a loved one to cancer. It's not a joke and not easy. It doesn't really get any easier either. I lost my mother when I was 14 (two weeks into my freshman year in high school). Being at this show and seeing the support given to this family touched my heart. I found myself unable to express my feelings like I wanted because I remember not wanting to be around people or hearing reminders of whom I had lost. I also did not know this family personally and did not was to say something out of line. So, unfortunately I would start saying something between songs in our set, and never got it out as planned. It was a great show and we will be here if they ever need us again. Adam and I drove 2 hours back to Athens. (Saturday) We slept in for our vocals' sake. We got ready and left with the gear and headed to Athfest. We unloaded, THEN loaded the stage soon after, and rocked it out two hours after waking up. I have to admit, not waiting to play was convenient. It was like 100 degrees and people stood as they fried while we played. I was surprised at the crowd because no one really knows that much about us. In Athens, it's hard to take friend suggestions for bands since there are soo many. I had so much fun and am amazed at the support we are gaining and maintaining from old and new fans :o). Definitely felt the love.


Well, I think I wrote a good bit. Josh and Brad are the best at this kind of stuff, but I will eventually get the hang of it. I'm drained, but ready for more!
