When life gives you lemons, just say 'Fuck the lemons,' and bail.

First and foremost, Mila Kunis (Jackie from That 70's Show), is a fucking babe. More on that later.

This has been a ridiculous week.

Monday wasn't really all that exciting I finished writing the reviews I was supposed to turn in on Sunday.

Tuesday I went to class and then I went to the A Wilhelm Scream show, which was fucking incredible. Unfortunately, they were opening for Unseen and there were TONS of street punk kids there. Although, it was awesome to see that street punk isn't dead, but of course they were all beating the shit out of each other. A Wilhelm Scream was honestly incredible though. That was one of three times that I've seen them live and every time was a little more awesome than the last. They played a lot of awesome songs and I was sort of in the pit hitting kids with my backpack. Twas awesome.

Then Wednesday was kind of crazy. Dave and I started off at Byron's, which actually I just watched Dave embarrass (embarrassment to everyone else...you know people that have shame) himself by devouring two chili cheese dogs. Eventually, we made it to the beach where we smoked hookah and drank beers because it was really gorgeous outside.

Yesterday, again, was a crazy day. Due to a platonic sleepover I woke up and wrote a paper during the time I was supposed to be in class. Then it was off to band practice, which was also incredible. Honestly, it was a good practice not only because it was really good to just rock out, but because we kind of took time as a band to just hang out which isn't really something that we've done in a while. We kind of just play shows and then split or band practice and split. THAT LEADS ME TO SLEEPOVER!!!

Dave, Josh and I are going to sleep over at Dane's with TONS of crazy bread, koolaid, skittles, and STAYING UP LATE WATCHING MOVIES OR GHOSTHUNTERS IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!

Back to Thursday night. After practice Josh, Dave, Carly, Katie, and I went back to the city to pick up Katie H from Irving Park station and then Golden Nugget. After GN we went and bought beer and other liquor and basically people got shit canned at our apartment and threw up.

Today we woke up went to IHOP and then down to visit my old man at his work. After which he bought us all dinner and then we went drinking for a bit before heading home and seeing Forgetting Sarah Marshall and you guess it! Back to talking about Jackie.

First of all, the movie was hilarious it really was worth paying to see it and when I get home I'm going to look for it online. Jackie is a gorgeous gorgeous girl in that movie. She's hot as hell; I honestly can't stress that enough. See the movie for if nothing else, but its also hilarious. Paul Rudd is in it=awesome.

Anyway, that concludes my ridiculous week.

Also I think I decided that I'm going to start posting all the reviews that I for Wonka Vision. Just because my opinions matter! And also because I really enjoyed trashing the band Danger Radio and want everyone to read it...then NOT listen to the record because I don't want to do that to any of my friends.

I think thats it. Dane's wedding show tomorrow! Woohoo!

WOOHOO!

Today The American Autumn myspace broke a hundred listens. A hundred legitimate listens not listens because our guitar player spent most of the night finding hacked 18-30 year old myspace girls profiles to befriend.

Its so crazy how this stuff is working out that people will be at our show on the 24th and singing out lyrics....

I'm gonna pass out.

Our complacency won't last much longer...

Hello friends.

Its been a couple of weeks since I've wrote anything and I guess a couple things have happened. First of all, I reread my blog about the Zolof show and let me just tell you as to be expected that night didn't not go down like we thought it would.

We went to the show and saw them...they were awesome then we went to Flash Taco (myself, josh, dave, and Eileen). While we were eating our delicious tacos we noticed people we dancing on the street corner, so obviously, we joined in their charade and it was terrific. Everyone was topless and dancing to some eighties hits. We were getting honks and screaming people stopped and got out over their cars to take pictures of us/with us. some of those pictures can be found here. Keep clicking next. Anyway that was awesome. I know more crazy stuff happened that week I think on Wednesday, but I'm not quite sure what it was.

Then dave's birthday happened in there somewhere I made him sing karaoke at the ole holiday club. That was well worth it.

Then we had the Fearless Radio interview this Wednesday which was awesome and a lot fun. Its funny when we did that interview with Davenport it was a long time ago, but we really didn't know what to do with it. It's kind of funny how much wiser or motivated we've gotten since Davenport because its such a huge promo tool to push with.

I feel like something ridiculous happened last weekend, but I dont know what it was. Typically, every weekend gets a little crazy.

So Friday this weekend dave and i went out with sarah eileen and adina, which was a blast we went to an odd party and then drinking at this really hipster bar. Then saturday was the show, which, logistically was a nightmare, but we made a couple of fans sold a couple of cds and made a couple of contacts. Evidentially some woman has a contact at Victory Records and wanted our demo and contact info because she was going to send it to someone. Thats really awesome not that I want to sign to Victory, but it was nice of her and who knows what can come out of it. Maybe instead of signing a typical p & d contract we can just license them our music that way we can control our masters and not give them a choice to take out as much in royalties. We'll see though. Reguardless the show was fun and then we spent of the rest of the night hanging out with eileen and adina.

Today...bummin it. tons of shit to do.

I think i'm caught up in life but who knows maybe i'll think of something later and repost.

Till then.
