SLAM DUNK CONTEST live at the Rutledge! It's gonna be clazy!!!

...That's the title, ..deal.

Chuck and me'z webcomic is on the happs, Soon and very soon Fruitlands is gonna drop. We're going to go halfsies on writing comics and blogs etc. Jams to be had by the chippy's!

I dare you to know what was just said.

I've been wrestling with a handful of things as of late. I always am, as are most people with the luxury of rational thought. Working out whether, music is the best use of what God has given me, ..and then hearing others tell me that, "Of course it is, and ps. Guuuuurrllll You Cra-zayyyyyy". all of my friends have been watching a lot of "Martin" lately.

But in spite of everything the time is now to do the things I can. I won't have the luxury of being able to play at haggard clubs until the wee hours forever. I mean, I suppose I can, but pretty soon it ends up being you and a bunch of twelve your olds trying to find common ground somewhere between Digimon and whether Sean Paul was EVER a legitimate artist. Trying to persuade them that "Downward is Heavenward" is a heavier album than anything Story of the Year will ever potentially contribute to the world. Its a losing battle, I understand, it exasperates me even really thinking about it. Partly because 1) Who gives a rats? Honestly? 2) It enforces the quickening revelation that I am, in fact, getting older ...soon to be shuffling onto to my porch to shout the dignity-soaked cries of "Get offa' my lawn!" ...(sigh).

So yeah, finished the logo, which means I can put it on things. Like Kaboodles, (I pray with an insane fervor that I spelled that correctly. To misspell something on a scale as this would be both sacrilege and potentially get me booted from my weekly "Knick-Knacks and Fanny Packs" club. There would be tears in Heaven...and on Earth.)

I can also put it on pleated Khaki pants, which I intend to sell at every show mostly in plus sizes. Shows are a veritable hot-bed for torso-wear, but what about our neighbors in the south. The legs gotsta be getting jams too baby! So I figure some stylin' Slam Dunk Contest Duckheads runnin' double plus XL would like might fine!

Ok I'm done writing for right now.

-peace-

Howdy Hey!, ..So the whole "once a week" deal worked out right!? Ok. I apologize. To be honest, my life has been a little crazy as of late, and my musical ambitions have sadly become a temporary casualty of that. Part of it is coming to terms with growing up, and another is coming to terms with the fact that that doesn't have to mean my life is over.

I'm slowly working on new art work that I can throw up on this here blog, and my myspace page. Hopefully that will also lead to other merch, like stickers and shirts. I'm going to need a written afidavit stating that if you are, in fact, reading this; then you have ultimately agreed to buy a shirt or six.

Done.

Also, I'm working on getting a webcomic together with my main damie, Chooch. We DO have t-shirt designs for that ready and you will think they are (pause) Riiiidiculous. So I'm excited about that.

THat's the VERY short of it on this end. I miss playing in front of folks. I went to Bonnaroo this weekend and saw a lot of great bands, one being the Dillinger Escape Plan, ..it made me jealous and excited to get crackin' again. I hope you all are well. Hope I'll see you soon.

So As of March 27th we are playing with one of my favorite bands evs, Born Empty. I'm so glad to get to rock it with these gentlemen. But not only that, Popular Genius, the last band I was in, is playing an impromptu re-union show. So it's a big deal.

Working on T-shirt designs.

I've been thinking about maybe doing a video for youtube... so it can swirl around and infect the inter-webs with our non-NBA-sanctioned rock.

I saw Coraline. It's gorgeous, and the music is insane. Go see it and love it up.

Also ...most importantly, Street Fighter 4 comes out tomorrow. So ..all other creative ventures will respectfully be flushed down the toilet.

I hope every one is doing well. and I'll try to keep you guys up to date.

peace,

Whew! ...so I've been spending an unhealthy amount of time sitting in front of a computer basically for this:

www.lastfm.com

Basically, I've been trying to get my music on as many sites as I can. It's a weird feeling of getting something done and still feeling gross for sitting in one place all friggin day. I eventually do all this stuff because I collapse under the feeling of "having" to do something with my day. I am trying to do legitimate work as little as possible while I'm "working" on art and music. I am repeatedly slapped in the face by how honestly lazy I am. It's really incredible. I can out-sloth just about anyone I'd think.

I say all of this because I guess I don't know what I'm doing. I am 26. I am sitting in the eye of a storm. Mostly of great things and blessings, all on the verge of falling into place. But I am too caught up with the unsettled nature of it all. I never liked writing things that I felt were too weepy or demanding of others attention. Like crying in public. But it's necessary sometimes I guess. It's crazy; my days are solid and bathed in goodness and protection. Yet, my emotional state is so turbulent. This life is good! It is joyous and I'm am so glad that my Father doesn't wail on me for being stupid about it. Anyway, I'm glad to be alive. I'm thankful for what my God has blessed my hands to be able to produce. Thanks for listening.

all the love.
Scott

Well hello again to one and all. I'm writing this first to update you on the band happenings ...with makes sense considering that I've titled this "Slam Dunk Contest". We've been practicing. As in with the full band, and it's been awesome! I'm so excited to play for you guys, I think it's going to be really great. Honestly! We have a tentative show lined up for the 17th of July! It will be at the Rutledge and rock will happen whether you are prepared or not. I should be getting the record pressed this week which means : THINGS FOR YOU TO BUY!



I'm just sayin' ..if The Quaid likes it, then ..heck EVERYONE will like it. THat is a promise from the guy who singlehandedly defeated an alien invasion in Independence Day!

I promise that I'll write something that isn't shallow and just a set of announcements! But right now I only write while I'm at work ...and it's hard to be introspective when your boss is on your case for not doing ANYTHING.

So Ta-ta for now. Love to all.
