The band was SMOKIN hot in Ellwood City last night. Tighter than a gnat's ass. The crowd was small and mostly the wrong demographic, but the band rocked on and the crowd was still very appreciative. Got canned by the shit company I work for yesterday.... thats right! 2 weeks before Christmas and I found out that it was a set up and had been planned as long as 3-4 months ago. When I first heard I was on "the list" for refusing to cow tow to illegal practices, and being called names by my direct supervisor I decided to tough it out as they deliberately made my job exponentially harder.... BIG MISTAKE! Several silver linings though to this! C'mon people! We've introduced Phillip (our tip jar.. get it??? Phillip the tip jar?) Now that y'all know that over 1/2 the band is unemployed... well. you get the picture. Also, I now have more time to get some more lucrative gigs, AND REALLY GET SOME STUDIO WORK DONE. I also will collect unemployment until I can find new work since the reasons for my dismissal were a bunch of CRAP. So the resolution for the New Year will be to get the new albim DONE and play live cuts for the GREATEST AUDINCES IN THE WORLD! OUR FANS.
