So.. this blog is epic fail, and i'm discontinuing it becuase my life is boring and i have nothing to blog about and i had an audience of whopping *drumroll* 3 people!!! OMFG! So basically, my cousin stephanie ( dirtandlace.com ) is doing my bands website. If the one person on here that doesn't know me in real life wants to keep up with me and the band, i'll do one final post of the link. But go read Stephanie's blog. It's fun.
This year's Christmas was pretty good. We had the usual tradition of the whole family coming over to our place and eating and giving presents and shit. I got a new laptop, and many many giftcards. Meredith got me a book and a very Scary-looking sock monkey. I got her sock monkey slippers and an MP3 player with all of her favorite songs and videos.
Think Harder is starting off the new year opening for Bowling for Soup January 19th, 2010 at The Mad Hatter club in Covington, KY.
Hell. Yes.
So, our bassist, Matt, heard they were coming into town and wanted to go see them. He then noticed you could sign your local band up for a slot and see if they approved you. We talked about it and we would submit Think Harder as a joke. I even quote myself, "If we get to open for Bowling For Soup, I will go streaking down the busiest road in Downtown, Louisville, jizzing in my pants all the way." That of course, never happened. Well... at least the streaking part.
I was in shock and awe. I could not believe it. The dude called my dad on his cell, and we ended up driving down to The Mad Hatter a while ago and sign some contracts, buy some tickets to sell to our fans, and talk about the gig. We will have 30 minutes stage time, and We think 6 songs would do.
