Quite a Nice Weekend

We got to play a good show last night in Philly at the Adam's Mark Hotel. The sound system was high quality and we were pretty tight, so we had a good time. We even got to play an encore, like one that was actually asked for. We sold a fairly large number of CDs, sold shirts, buttons, stickers.. . got some new fans. All in all, a good night!

At this same conference, the film that Collin and I have been working very hard on was premiered, and it was received very warmly. I have to say, it was pretty cool to sit in a darkened room with between 250 and 300 people watching this film we had worked so hard on, and hearing them laugh loudly in the right places, see the tears at the right moments, and just sense the overall enjoyment. People can tell you they like something, but to witness them liking it is much better. The film is by no means perfect. It was a learning exercise and there are a large number of problems with it still, but overall it worked out much better then I thought it was and I'm happy with it. It's a good starting point. We even took 16 pre-orders! Now I have to use up my computer burning DVDs for the next day.

What's the going rate for a copy of the infamous motion picture masterpiece?

$15. Really that's just to cover the cost of the DVD itself and the time it takes to burn it.

Actually, the $15 is the cost of the DVD, the time it takes to burn it, and $10 to me. It's in my contract.

Oh, and for you three that don't know, I was the girl directly in the front of the stage with the blue lifguard sweatshirt on. Then I moved on over to the speaker next to Shane. Got it? Good. :-)

Jason, I've heard the little blurb you give about the song fanatic a few times now, and I'm wondering when you're going to just go ahead and stage dive or take off your shirt or something. I mean, just become a fanatic already.

I have to do some more sit-ups before I take my shirt off, and need more fans in the front before I stage dive. As of right now, it would be too much like Jack Black in School of Rock.

Do I really have to remind you that Jack Black was 100% fanatic in that movie!?!?!

Okay Jason, for now and just for now...keep your clothes on and your body on stage, k? hahaha.

With my weeks-old unshavenness, I think I kind of resemble Jack Black. I don't have his crazy eyes though.

For the uninformated, Jack Black IS THE MAN. THE MAN, DO YOU HEAR ME!
