Spencer, Dalton, Colin, Will, Cameron, Chaz, Micheal, Chandler, Alex, Zach, Emily, Natali, and people i don't know.
-Emily's friend puked on the floor.
-Dalton came out of the bathroom. "Guys, i was about to puke, but now i feel better!" and then he pukes all over the floor.
-The Longshot got hooked up with Mike Judy Productions and Polar Dungeon Studios.
-The Longshot and Hey Nightmare on the back porch. Rap battle. Micheal vs Chaz. Enough said.
-Cameron, Colin, Will and I go to Jack In The Box and get 14 tacos.
we come back and everybody's gone and Kayli's having a nervous breakdown because they all left without her.
-Now me, Cameron, Colin and Will are hanging with her, cleaning up, I vacuumed, and we're just chillin now.
-I just heard Cameron say, "Where'd David go?!" so i'm going to have to go.
Good times.

And this is my Life. Welcome.
My life as a musician is fully underway... Judy Productions hooked us up with a show at the Creepy Crawl... i ran into Becca of STLSound at Cracker Barrel this morning and she said she's "keeping her ear on the ground for any more shows we can do", what a sweetheart. Tonight we're playing at a party at Kayli's house.
I never realized how "widespread" our music is now schoolwise, we're getting over 60 plays a day and getting adds from around the country.
Well, i've got an appointment to go to right now.

...and it's a little clearer
I kind of see this EP as my baby. It's something that's been brewing in my mind for well over a year now, having been tweaked and changed and evolved to something that i feel is a part of myself.
i recently took the time to sit down and figure out the logistics for the making of this record... the cost, the time and basically the effort. I'm willing to do whatever it takes and i know it'll be hard. But i just hope i can finish it before the end of this senior year.
And as for the cost... by extrapolation, i estimate it being somewhere around a $700 effort.
But it's getting clearer now, and a lot closer. It's going to happen, it's just a matter of time.

Recording in Alton
One of the best Saturdays of the whole year...
This morning i woke up at 9 in Spencer's living room, Sam asleep on the couch next to me and Spencer on the chair adjacent to him.
I woke them up, we took showers (seperately), Spencer played some Castle Crashers, Dalton came over, we ate, got all our instruments and left for Alton.
I was using Spencer's video camera to videotape the whole day, using disks i had bought a few days ago. I really want to videotape everything we do as The Longshot.
So we blasted Something Corporate the whole way up there; it was a nice drive with a few clouds and a bit of blue.
When we got up to Alton, I called Steve and told him we'd be at his place in a bit, and then we swung by Taco Bell. We also stopped by IlliNoise, one of the best places we've ever done a show at.
We finally found our way to Steve's house, where the studio is. He came out and greeted us and we took all our stuff downstairs.
First i laid down the strings on 'Between Two Autumns', and then for the rest of the time we all recorded 'Summer song'. That took maybe 3 1/2 hours. I videotaped most of the recording process.
I think my favorite part was definitely when we all sang the last chorus together, that was really fun. Sam kept messing it up.
When we finished at around 6, we listened to the unmixed version and it sounds so good. Dalton, Spencer and Sam did so well.
When we go back up we're going to have to bring $150 just to take home the final mix.
Looks like we're going to have to do some shows. Let's go
