Okay. So, I Just Wanted To Say That This Has By Far Been The Craziest and Most Exciting Year of My Life ! Let Me Explain. Back In December I Flew Out To New Jersey To Record a Few Demos For My Full Length Album, Half of The Songs Came Out Sounding More Like Outlines, But The Other Half Ended Up Sounding Pretty Fucking Good :) After I Got Home From That Recording Session Things Really Started To Pick Up....I Got The Call From My Skeleton Crew Family That I Was Going To Be Opening 2 Shows @ The Congress Theatre in Chicago for My Chemical Romance, and Not Only That, But I Was Also Going To Be Playing The Bamboozle @ Giants Stadium in New Jersey Along Side Some of My Favorite Bands Like Panic at The Disco and Gym Class Heroes, and One of My Favorite Rappers of All Time, Snoop Dogg......I Started Really Freaking Out, My Band Had Been Broken Up For About 9 Months and I Had Been Performing Solo, So I Was Worried That My Live Show Wasn't Ready For These Types of Shows. So What Did I Do ? I Called The Old Band. After Talking To Bough and Jaime We Decided To Put Together a New Version of The Band....Congress Theatre in Chicago....ROCKED THAT BITCH.......Bamboozle 2008......ROCKED THAT BITCH, and Then We Got Home From Bamboozle. I Wasn't Really Sure What To Expect, Were Things Going To Continue To Progress or Were Things Going To Kind of Slow Down....and That's When I Got My Answer. Joey Southside of The New Jersey Hardcore Band THE BANNER Invited My Band To Go Out on Tour With Them in July, and Of Coarse, We Gladly Accepted. At This Point The Band Had Only Been Together For About 3 Months and So, We Had To Buy a Van.....3 Weeks Out on The Road w/ The Banner, The Hottness, and Dr. Acula.....DONE.....This Nobody Rapper and His Little Hip-Hop Band Had Now Become a Touring Outfit, a Band That Was Capable of Traveling When It Had To....My Dreams Were Coming True :) While We Were Out on Tour, The Phone Calls Started Coming In...."You Guys are Getting Played on The Radio" "They're Playing How To Burn a Bridge on Q101"....Was This Really Happening ? Things This Cool Don't Happen To People Where I'm From, It Was All So Hard To Believe. and Then We Get Home From Tour, and Find Out...We're Playing The House of Fucking Blues.
15 Years of Chasing This Dream, and Just When It Seemed Like It Was All For Nothing....I Have Just Experienced The Most Amazing 6 Months of My Life !!! No Matter Who You Are, No Matter Where You're From, If You Have a Dream, Go For It, No Matter What It Is ! Just Give It Everything You Got, and Don't Look Back, and One Day....One Day Your Dreams Will Come True....See You At The House of Blues !!!!!!!!!
