Gone Gone Gone...Been Gone Too Long
Did I really just reference Chiliwack lyrics? Yeah, I guess I did. There's a clear sign I've been spending too many hours watching the bug zapper and drinking Jack Daniel's.
Things are going slow and steady here at Camp Catwalk. The edits for Lineage were completed a while back and I'm bringing myself to rinse off the scalpel and take a run at Messiah before I start shopping for an agent. I've learned so much from some of my fellow writers like Joe Konrath and Heather Brewer, and I'm excited to be taking the step into full-fledged novelist.
Both JWP and Division are recording and I finally have the home studio set up the right way, so it looks like I'll be cutting vocals for most of June and July, while juggling the family, writing, the day job, and all the other band necessities like management, booking, networking, artwork, layouts, web design and more. If that sounds incredibly busy, let me reinforce this: EVERYONE in Division is doing at least as much as I am. There is so much going on behind the scenes right now to make the upcoming CD as great as possible. We're very excited about the chance to have a killer product that shows our identity and our passion as effectively as possible.
Just Wanna Play's new demo is really coming together also. We're saddened at the closing of a number of places we have played in the past or were planning to play in the future. Bogey's and O'Meara's come to mind immediately. With the economy in the tank, these places are going under and live music is suffering as a result. God forbid we get to the point where artists will only stream shows and not tour because the expenses outweigh the turnout.
Okay, one last check of school work tonight (Criminal Procedure - gonna be a tough one!) and then it's off to crank up the tunes and kill orcs. Oh yeah, I got talked into playing Lord of the Rings Online, which is a great game. Now I just need to find a pill that gives me eight hours of sleep.
One Love!

Hey Nick!
Thanks for updating your website! I am sure your other groupies and band members know just how smart you are but I wanted to publish it and say thanks for interjecting humor into the Criminal Justice Classes from time to time! It makes them a little more bearable! Good luck with the CD! Can't wait to hear it! C U N Class!
