Today is a big day for me, and Im pretty dang nervous! The band is meeting with one of the best and biggest booking agents and managers in Pittsburgh tonight. This could be a very, very big night for myself and the band! Playing about a 10 song set list, just covers for now.

Im stressin out man!

And off topic, this cat helped to get Rusted Root out of Pittsburgh!

Yep, with Alison. Only gig Im playing as of now, as it takes up most of my time. Im really hoping this clicks.

Not sure if you know them, but this cat had a big role in helping Rusted Root get out of Pittsburgh.

Good luck, man!

Also just a side note, you guys should remove all the myspace app banners from the band profile IMO. In my mind, it takes away any sort of professional appearance.

You can't get anywhere in life by getting nervous, just chill and have fun.

+1 on this underage, stress relief technique!

Have fun with it. Nerves are a part of these kinds of things, they can freak you out or help elevate you. Just remember to BREATHE. I'm serious, man. Sometimes when I'm playing something tricky for the first time in front of people I find myself holding my breath. Then I exhale and its like a weight falls off me and I'm loose again.

Good luck and kick some ass.

Good luck! If anything, don't break ties with him. Don't burn bridges either.

Well, to get to W.V., I only have to cross one bridge about 1 minute from me. I live 1 minute from W.V., and about 5 minutes from Pennsylvania.

Im going to go with the "Only speak when spoken to approach," and let Alison do the talking. He is a family friend, so shes already connected.
