Good Night - Good Morning

So, as another year draws near to a close, I find myself in a particularly peculiar mood this evening… or should I say this morning? After all, it is 2:53 AM, and I'm several hours from the point in which I'm supposed to consider my consciousness a new day and should feel obligated to pursue my daily routines… mainly and most importantly, continuing my efforts to complete the booking for my West Coast College Tour in 2008 over a cup of steamy and highly caffeinated coffee, black, no sugar.

However, at the moment, I'm multitasking, doing my best to wrestle two cats (one kitten named Ella Fitzgerald and one semi-adult cat named Jameson) who conjointly feel the necessity to be loud and chase each other around a small studio apartment at an hour when most mammals (mainly humans) should normally feel compelled to sleep… however, in light of this, I did a wikipedia search on cats and found out much to my chagrin that they're nocturnal. Fiddlesticks.

But considering that I'm awake, how about we talk a little?

So, as I had mentioned earlier, I've been planning a rather broad tour through California, Oregon, and Washington in the month of February and early March 2008. I'm playing mostly colleges, but I'm also planning on playing a number of venues, resorts, churches, alleys, houses, brothels, bowling alleys, chucky cheese's… pretty much anywhere that I can. Mainly, I want you to be there along the ways. After all, it's not often that I have the opportunity to travel outside my California Bubble. I'm willing to play house shows, so, if you live in any of the before mentioned states, and would like to see me perform from the comfort of your own home, well, by all means contact me through myspace or email. My booking email is located on my myspace page.

In other news, I recently acquired a booking agent for future college and university shows AND I'm participating in a Radio Contest through the station KYSR Star 98.7.

The radio contest is called Rockstar 98.7 and the winner of this fabulous contest receives $25,000, a record deal, and west coast tour with an ATO recording artist. For those of you unfamiliar with ATO records, their current roster includes the likes of Radiohead and David Gray as well as a number of other talented acts. Now, I would prattle on about this contest more, but I actually wrote a separate blog about this earlier today. If you're interested in helping (which would be very kind of you) you can read that blog to get the details.

As for right now, the cats finally passed out and I can barely keep my eyes open. I was planning on watching House tonight on DVD, but that just wasn't in the cards. It's my latest addiction.

Good Night.

Good Morning.
