Flood Life. Part I

12.08.09
Well..
Today's a pretty great day. I'm on schedule with everything. Nothing is lagging Thank God.
Um I've got a few shows that i've booked coming up soon. I have one tomorrow that I booked, it's gonna be pretty big i hope there's gonna be 6 bands! Craziness i know but.. Everything should be under control and it should all happen really smoothly.
There's gonna be two full bands. Then two acoustic bands. Then two poets! So it's gonna be all over the place. I'm stoked though. I'm good friends with the tour manager and one of the poets. The rest of the guys are pretty big. So i'm stoked to meet them and to become friends with them hopefully. My Dad asked me the other day why i booked shows that my band doesn't even play in. So i said well.. To get connections. Whatever friends i make now could be really valuable friends when my band goes on tour and i have to book it. Well not just for that but it would be good to have friends that are in the business that van help us out once we begin our careers.He simply said "I'm proud of you son." I walked to my room and was pretty humbled. So i picked up my guitar and wrote some pretty great acoustic stuff which will help me with the next couple of concerts we're having. We have two concerts in Carlsbad the next few weeks which will serve as benefit concerts for us so we can get money to go to Dallas later this month. The reason why i'll be doing an acoustic solo set is because i have learned and seen that the more band you have on set list the more you can charge and people will still come, and the more money we charge and don't have to give to someone, The more money we get to keep for ourselves! Greedy you may think, but i think not! It's just good ole' show business. Plus we have and will do concerts for free in the area, We just need to get what we deserve for our trouble. I never get any pocket money for myself when i book shows so if i can at least get money for my band which will in turn mean less money from my pocket to the bands gas tank then i think it's great! Anyways we do have two concerts in carlsbad the next two weeks which we might be over-playing it but guess we don't have to do another show there for a long while afterwards. So that's a little bit about Flood life. I'll get back later and tell you guys a bit more about what's up. What exactly is flood life. Thanks, Check out my band at www.myspace.com/floodthecityband
