First off, I am going to put out there what we all feel/think/say... this blogging stuff is hella wierd. It's like a diary that I am letting the world read.... um, b-a-r-f.
Soooo many of you have told me how lame this shit is and how only those wierd emo kids with gobs of black eye liner and no dates do this shit (yes, I said shit.... I also say "suck it".... I'd say other things, but I am now affiliated with some cool ass dudes called ECHOVALVE & they have an image and those boys deserve the best...so, I'll leave it at that.... ;) )
Moving on....---->>>>
I wasn't going to post about this show......but, well......posting is good for business, so here I am. If you have read my other posts, this one starts like all the rest. There is a disclaimer, "If you are offended easily or are a juvenile, RUN FROM JEN"..ahhahaha...no, really. You have been warned. I am the coolest UNcool person in the world.
~please remember I am a promoter~ ---->
This was a Tuesday show and weekday shows are super-doooper hard to promote if the band isn't a nationally recognized act. So, I asked myself....How do you get people out to this show on a friggin Tuesday??? First answer to come to mind is....either you pay them///or you give them free drinks.... But, this is ECHOVALVE, damnit. People come see them cuz they are siiiiick. Simply stated, **their show is off the hook, **the guys are superb individuals & **the music will move you, your cousin and your mother. {uh, hello} At this point (in my promoting mind) what I fail to realize is that they are not a national act (YET. Quote me on that.} Mkayyy.... My mission is to get people to the show. Not just bodies, I want people that are into the music. So, if you like mediocre, go back home. My job is to find those people that have passion and heart (Thanks Reggie)...I am not here to fill the room with numb bodies. I don't want people to come to the show for any other reason exept for the fact that ECHOVALVE rocks their fucking face off. Perhaps I am being irrational, but I have never done any promoting on a local level. I have worked with established acts so, then my job was easy... I am not good at 'easy'....
I heard ECHOVALVE once and knew that they were destined for greatness. These boys have talent. Period.
Please don't think I am best friends with the band, because I am not. I am simply aquainted with the boys. I am honored to have hung out with them, to have connected with one or two of them, to be able to work with them.... I am a fan just like everyone else. Urrrrghhhhh.... now I am getting all emo with gobs of black eyeliner. That is just gnarly. barf.
Since that was so lengthy, I am going to make this into 2 parts. I am so done with this right now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Stay tuned for details of me licking Nick's sweat, Jay's handing over the guitar to me (not the brightest idea), Mathieu leaning in for a photo op with an interesting character & Ryan's dad being the coolest....Stay tuned.....
