"Always be yourself... unless you suck."
I'm going to be playing at SXSW this week.

I don't think it has quite sunk in yet. It's extremely competitive for fledgling bands to get in. This is pretty huge, and I'm extremely lucky to have fallen in with the right people.

What do you mean by that? Is it not open to the public or something?Originally Posted by XanBcoo
edit: oh, right. Playing. For some reason I understood it as attending. Wow.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
No no, it will likely be a free show and barely anyone will show up. Still, the exposure and cred we'll get from this can only help.
I meant that I'm lucky because I personally don't feel I've done anything to deserve a shot at playing there. I'm an average musician at best, we've only played a handful of shows, and much better bands were likely overlooked. Our frontman is just that type of guy though. He knows how to get in and get what he wants.
Edit: This also means I will be in Austin and can see Zooey Deschanel sing with her band. Holy crap, I am giddy.

Oh wow! Congratulations! I hope you guys rock out! I have finally started recording, and hoping to get back into the Chicago music scene. I hope I can stick with it like you have been doing!
When are you playing and when is Zooey's band playing?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Schedule says Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for Zooey:

All I know is that we play on Satuday. Not sure where or when. I can PM you details when I found out if you think you can make it out to see us.

LOL. 6 - 8am. They couldn't have picked a better time

Getting a "good morning" text from a girl was enough to do it today.
New modem firmware lets me squeeze an extra 200KB/s from my line.
That's ~35% increase!!

Went to the beach and played soccer and football with the misses.
Despite a great deal of things that pissed me off today (not worth mentioning), I pulled into a gas station that surprisingly had Full Service, and for the same price that the other Self-Serve stations had. It was awesome, I felt like I was back in 1994.
Note: My state does not have mandatory Full Service gas stations.
Man, I want to try full service one time. I've never seen on in Australia. Ever.

I haven't been back to a full-serve station since I started going to self-serve stations 10 years ago. I don't see that many full-serve stations any more but I know of at least one self-serve that offers full service for a few cents more per litre and there is a full-serve by my house which is across the street from a self-serve and there's only a 0.4 cent price difference between them.
What's the point? So you can just sit in your car? Its not like you can fill up and leave the gas station any faster than if you did it yourself. Seems novel, but I'd rather step outside anyway.

Fixed my damned X-fi again so now mic input works.
Finally my new Headphones were delivered(Roccat Kave 5.1 - they are damn awesome).
And party 2 days ago made me smile.

While I think full service is just laziness on the part of the elite, I imagine it's like buying off the rack versus getting a tailored suit. Nothing says "disposable income" like paying someone to pump your gas and wash your windshield while you idle away the time in your leather seats listening to music. Makes one feel "better" than others.
