Honored and Beaten Up
This weekend was awesome. It was an educational mix of good and bad, with plenty of lessons filed inside my spinning skull. First of all, Mike and I stayed after rehearsal on Thursday night to record vocals for Division's upcoming demo. I haven't recorded anything with Division in a few years (despite doing some of my solo stuff). It was fun to see how different things are when you're trying to do it all yourself, rather than have a dedicated engineer. The demo is being mixed now (poor Mike!) and we'll have a few songs on hand in Chicago next weekend at Midwest Metal Anthem.
Friday night, Division performed for a sold-out crowd at Jaxx Nightclub (opening for Kamelot). Before we played, Jaxx owner and long-time friend, Jay Nedry, announced the band's induction into the club's Hall of Fame. It was really breathtaking, having been on that stage dozens of times and watching the club stand firm and prosper for the last thirteen years.
Sore from the festivities, I wound up knocking about twenty things off of my "take care of the house" list on Saturday. It also meant contacting a potential staging partner for October's Caring for Kids Charity Event for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Much more on that in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled.
Saturday night, Sybir and I had the night to ourselves and elected to write and research instead of go out. Too bad neither of us is writing an erotica novel at the moment...that research is always so much fun. haha.
Sunday was mostly a recovery day, other than the website updates, the networking, chores and another rehearsal. It's back to the work week tomorrow morning, so it's time to get the next piece written to Catwalk:Messiah.
Be good out there. One Love!
