a cursive invite

Today was a good day. I was working on some art for the new Foundry record last night and was up pretty late, so i thought this morning was gonna be rough. I actually woke up feeling pretty good. I got a new phone and with it comes email updates, which means i get emails the second they come in and i can write back on my phone (both awesome and annoying).

Anyhow when i woke up i had a email from the band Cursive personally asking us to play some of their January tour dates. Columbia was a given, but they also wanted us to do one of their last two shows of the tour in Omaha, NE (their hometown). They will be playing both Friday and Saturday night and they wanted Bald Eagle to be apart of one of those shows, plus we are in talks about getting added to anything else on that tour that they would need a band for. Lets just say that felt good.

The Foundry tour is shaping up well also, it looks like we will be gone from Feb 26th until April 18th or so, with a one week break in the middle and a trip to SXSW. SXSW might be interesting as i am trying to get Bald Eagle in as well, so it might mean double duty for a few shows.

I am just sick of being at home and want to get on the road, but i don't want to lose money or my job. I do however feel like the next few road trips will be worth job/money loss.

I have kind of got in the mind set of staying in for the winter and trying to get things accomplished, and to save money. It is cold and boring this time of year in Columbia anyhow, all there is to do is drink, and i can do that at home for cheaper than going out to bars.

Really into a little E.P by a band called Mayola called Everybody. Good stuff.
Writing with Bald Eagle is going well, we are more than half way done with writing the new record, and the songs are getting crazy.
