Swinging in my Sleep
Ever since I was a little kid I have wanted to have a swinging bed which would hang from the ceiling. I thought that it was a great idea because it saves space underneath and it would be pretty cool.
So last week I was finally like, "I'm just going to do it!" So I went to the hardware store, bought some plywood, some 2 by 4's and built a bedframe. Then my Dad and I put some I bolts through the rafters in my ceiling and hung my bed on them. It's cool! I feel like a baby getting rocked to sleep at night now. It's like all the joy of a swinging hammock in the comfort of a real bed. It takes some getting used to though! Every time I roll over in the night I wake up swinging all over my room! It's so comfortable and nice though... all the terrifying wake ups will be worth it soon.
Ps. I am burning demos and assembeling press kits for getting shows as I write this post. Is there anywhere that you would like to hear us play?

I meant nothing sexual about my comment, and I'm just glad that I am that pure, UNLIKE OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW!!
Hi - Just surfed in to your page via Google looking for info on swinging beds. I'm currently setting up a business from my home here in Switzerland to import a system for babies cots/cribs into the UK, which does exactly that, but without the wild swinging! This 'Swing System' was invented by a friend of mine here, and it has taken him over 14 years to develop - The good news is that we will have an adult version out in the new year!
You can check the baby version out here: www.ababysleeps.com to see how it works - the adult version operates exactly the same way - It's cool!
Thanks - and good luck with the band.
Sincerely,
Paul.

You should check out this bed. It's made specifically for what you were talking about. I want to get one myself but they aren't cheap.
