On the Road

Well kids, Reptoids are hitting the road for a one show tour!! Indianapolis will be our stomping ground tonight as we play in one of the oldest bars in the city, the Melody Inn.

We are playing with a death metal band and a punk band. Carnosaur and Dehydrated Vomit. Take your pick at what band plays what (but I put them in order respectively). It should be fun. Then when we are done, Meg (the drummer, not my lovely wife) are turning around and coming right back. sweet!! It's actually better. Then I can spend some time in Chi-town for once. I know I live here, but every weekend it seems I'm up in GB.

OK...time for me to go. I gots to do some work. Considering I'm at work, that's probably a good thing.

hugs and kisses.

Update!

Ok...so the exclamation point wasn't/isn't necessary at all.

DM had the reunion show, and to all that didn't show up...FOOLS! The place was packed. Nuts to Butts if you will. It seriously stayed full until close and we actually closed the place down. All the bands were awesome. Mr. Slate's new drummer Ben is good. really good. Not that Cookie wasn't, but Ben puts the rock on.

Fault played really well too. It was like we didn't take the last 2 years off (even longer for Fault.) DM also played well and that may be the last you see of us. Nick moved to Cleveland and me being in Chicago makes it hard to do anything else.

On to other things.

Reptoids are playing a ton now. 5 shows in the next month or so and it feels good. We are writing like mad and came up with some cool shit. It's fun for the whole family. Manson that is.

I start school on Sept. 11. Ohhhhhh...scary. Anyway, I'm going to Columbia for Audio Production & Recording. Hopefully something good becomes of it. I can record your Polka band!

Tonight: Windy City Rollers. All female roller derby. One of my co-workers, Dixie Pixie (real name withheld for sporting purposes) is rockin tonight and she's pretty bad ass. I wouldn't fuck with her if she had skates on. But at work she doesn't so I just take her candy. HA

Reunion Almost Here!!

So as most of you who read this know, Disinformation Machine is indeed playing a reunion show on August 4, 2006 at the Mainstage in Green Bay. We are playing with reunioned Fault and Mr. Slate (and a tba). It's almost 2 years to the day since our last show (I think it was Aug. 6, 2004). Either way, ya'll should come out and drink it up with the Mainstage vagrants.

Enough about that. Hope all is well with everyone. I go to orientation for school on August 3...so that should prove fun. It's cool that I don't have to take any assessment tests though. I knew my B.A. would come in handy.

Nothing new here..except the Blue Line (the subway, or "L") I take everyday derailed and caught on fire yesterday at about 5:00 PM. I was already home, but it happened to be the one that was right before the one Megan would take. It was nuts I guess. People thought it was a terrorist attack. Black smoke filled the subway car and plus they were underground and it was dark. crazy shit. 150 people were sent to the hospital. I think what made people think about terrorism, is the bombing in India on a bus. Check out the chicago news paper websites for more information.

If ass tasted like a hamburger...

So I got a new bike, but was unable to bring it to Chicago. The lack of bungie straps prevented me to do so. SO, if anyone is coming to Chicago soon, could you pick my bike up at Megan's mom's house and bring it to me? Thanks.

Reptoids are playing a ton. You should come out and see us. We're fun.

Got nothing going on. That's it.

What's up kids?

So my brother and I are going into business together. What business you ask? Videography and Design. That's right, we are going to become a multimedia powerhouse to be reckoned with. Watch out MF's.

If any of you are going to be in the Madison/Milwaukee area on April 28/29 respectively, come out to see Reptoids in action. Go to www.reptoids.net for more information and stuff.

Hopefully I get accepted into Columbia College and I end up doing stuff. By stuff, I mean get a recording degree. Then all you bitches are mine.

What I pointless post. So poignant yet retarded yet not important however dull.

I'm not dead....yet

Sorry for the delay in my posts..like you people care. I switched jobs as you know so I haven't been here for a while. Anyway, no porn. sorry. Bob was pissed...so was Gash..but oh well, got to go where the money and benefits are. That's right. I sold out.

eat me.

Yeah..

Yeah, the JOB hunt is really on. I seriously have had about 5 interviews in the last week. Just really trying to keep my options open. I was offered a position already at a company, but I'm seeing if there is something better while the paper work is going through. That's the hardest. Basically the position that I pretty much have was created for me and the pay is fucking sweet. But, it's really not a design job and that's what I'm interviewing for..hopefully get into an agency.

The cool thing though is that my brother started a company in Milwaukee and I'm partnering with him. So, hopefully that works out and we'll get paid fat cash as we start to gain clients..start working for ourselves. If I'm going to slave for something, it's going to be me.

Yoshi, I heard about the PT job and school. You have cajones.

Hey you..over there.

How's everyone doing today? I'm doing well. I have a J-O-B interview today...don't tell my current employer. If I spell everything, they have no idea what I'm saying. Sort of like a small puppy.

I heard yesterday was statistically the worst day of the year. It sure panned out that way.

WOWZA!

I'm just writing to give you fools something to write back about. I did the E.P. release show with Reptoids. No, I'm not on the album but who cares, I can play all the music and I'm cool. Ok, maybe not cool, but I can definitely play the riffs. So, I know you are all wondering, so I'll tell you: you actually thought I was going to write something here.

I'll sum up last year for everyone:

I don't know if you guys are interested in the post-hardcore scene stuff (helmet, quicksand), but the band Handsome (formed with members of Helmet and Quicksand) is very good. I would recommend the first album. Also a band called Stomp Box. Some of you may have this album, but it's essentially like Helmet with the tight riffs and syncopation.

I've been applying for new jobs lately. It's been pretty nuts.
