A lot has happened recently so lets try to tackle these in some kind of order.
COLLEGE: I DO still plan to go. Its just not this year. Like I'm going to take my basics at TCC this year (that ways I can weasel out of having to take SATS and then I can just work on my portfolio easier. So yes, college is still a plan for me. I did get lazy and stop working on my portfolio since my last post. Hell I haven't drawn anything since then either come to think of it...
RELATIONSHIPS: As far as I know I'm still single. And still searching. But a relationship isn't really at the top of my priority list at the moment.
MUSIC: This is my current project. So Saturday night/Sunday morning (10:30pm - 3:00am) I was in the middle of downtown (not really the middle of downtown but on the corner of Houston and 3rd) Playing as a temporary drummer in a band. On top of making a nice amounts of money. We got offered 1000 dollars to play at a club in Denton. But before that we got this offer from this guy dubbed "Hollywood" to record a demo. He liked our music playing enough that he was in fact serious (I thought the guy was bullshitting us but he called yesterday) and apparently we're set to get some studio time! But I don't know it seems like we're on the road to stardom to fast and easy. I mean shit really? Record deal anyone? Anyways so we exchanged info and Sunday I get a text from the lead guitarist telling me that "Hollywood" called him and said he wants us to record. Go figure. Then two chicks come by and they're all like hey we're from artsfifthavenue.com and we want you guys to play for us. I'm like whoa thats two offers!!! She was asking me about teaching drumming to youth but I'm not one for teaching. As I'm no Chad Smith myself. Nonetheless so she gives us her card and we get her offer. THEN the big 1g offer. So it all started with these black guys walking down the street and us playing a cover of Talk Show on Mute by Incubus. And they're like, "Hey kick us a beat" so all of a sudden me and Rudy (Lead guitarist) are playing them this beat and they kick like this 10 minute long freestyle battle. It was amazing yet scary at the same time. Never before had I seen so many black people gather around. I figured the cops would shut us down. But nope they didn't. I really wish I had recorded it. So anyways they're freestyling like there's no tomorrow. And after they finish the guys like hey how much would it cost to get you guys to come and play for our spot in Denton. And so Alfonso (Lead Guitarist/Vocals) is like "Like 1000" not being serious. But the guy took it serious and was like, "Like 1000 or 1000?" so this epic conversation ensues about how much we're going to get paid and the guys like "cool cool" BAM 1000 easily. Just for kicking a simple rock beat that I learned when I first started to play the drums. And thats when our band name was decided. Tree by the Street.
Nonetheless this weekend was amazing. I actually can't wait to go back and do it again next weekend to see what kind of bank we roll in and what other offers come in. As far as I know though we're set to record sometime soon and maybe actually get a track done. I seriously need new cymbals and drum heads before then though...
ISSUES: Speeding ticket. 96 on a 60. Cop only got me because I thought he was an ambulance. :p that tickets going to be expensive but I'm going to pay a traffic lawyer to take care of it for me. I'm going to be flat broke after that though. :/
I guess thats it. I should really draw more often. I'm going to start drawing more often actually. I miss it. I'm sure it misses me.
Anyways its 5am so I should probably be trying to get some sleep or something like that?
Stay up.
