basically this is all band stuff, so if you aren't interested guide yourself to a different web page.

march the 9th... what a night.
twas the night of the benedict affair's cd release show and all was cool, till the big bands that were coming decided to show up late. they showed up about 20 minutes before the show was supposed to start. because of this operation joykill was asked to move to second in the line up which was no problem for us at all. ojk rocked entirely hard. the new song i wrote was well recieved, i'm glad. private drive and write this down were insane. i really enjoyed their sets and them showing up late did not cause as many problems as we thought they would.
then came the benedict affair. the first note elliot strikes he breaks a string. halfway through the first song, kenny breaks his bass drum. we spent a very long time trying to find the other bands so we could use their bass drum (i was helping at this point because i am usefull). write this down's drummer was nowhere to be found but the decision was made to use his bass drum. apparently kenny puttin his toms on the bass drum caused a small amount of damage to it. elliot and kenny apologized so many times and the band didn't seem mad, they kept saying it was a respect thing. so whatever. it was a crazy night, and in the end everyone had fun.
last night i went to fort dodge as the benedict affiar's merch boy. i had a very good time, i love hanging out with those kids. my real mission was to try to spread the good word of ojk and try to get us a show in fort dodge. i talked to the kid who set it all up and i think it could potentially lead to a show. hopefully.
so ojk is recording and we have the studio booked, but we need to send in a $200 deposit. i have been holding off because i don't have enough money in my checking account right now. today i checked my mail completely forgetting all the hours i worked in feb. sure enough there sat a check for $230. on top of that my parents put exactly $200 into my checking account. this may sound cheesy, but it just reminds me how God provides. i really needed the money by tomorrow and he put it right on my lap. it also makes me feel a lot better about recording this cd.
i am listening to the benedict affair's new cd and it rocks hard. i love it dearly. purchase one if you haven't already.
