The Castledoor CD Release party last night was awesome. I rarely go to Indie shows, but this band is to look out for. I got one of the sixty tambourines thrown out, which was caught by my chin. Actually, I got two, but being the nice guy I am, I threw the other one back out to the crowd so more people can have one. After their performance, I noticed people with 2-3 tambourines in their hands.
Downside: I'm getting sick again. I woke up today with a horrible sore throat, and by the time I got off work, I was feeling the chills. Hope it's not the you-know-what flu. Knock on wood.
Can't get sick before vacation...

Thanks...
So yesterday was the very last Freak Dance show ever. Sucks it had to end so early when it just felt like a start (at least to me). Every single cast member are amazingly nice, or nicely amazing, people and I'm very honored and glad I got to meet them and shared the stage with them. So thanks to them for the awesome opportunity. Again, like the last show, only Jacky and I went to do the performance, and luckily this time the Bad News Bears joined us. Bears and Snakes collaborate! Although Jacky and I aren't ALL Snakes... but you get the point. So we got there on call time which is 6:00, being the show started at 7:30. Turns out we got there early, because not everyone got there at 6:00. But, it wasn't time wasted because there was another show going on that started at 6:00... Jeff Garlin's Combo Platter featuring Natasha Leggero and Nick Thune. I got to watch from backstage/sidestage/behind the curtain, whatever. GREAT show. I would've paid to sit in the audience if I knew. I'd have to say Nick Thune killed the show, but not that Jeff and Natasha didn't, because they were funny too. In case you're not familiar with Nick Thune's comedy:
"I wish I got organic balls... so I could green tea bag someone."
Anyway, so Freak Dance starts like way passed 6:45 or so. The show was way more packed than the last one we did. There were more people sitting on side stage, and I even saw some people standing by the hall/entrance area. Crazy. I was told the line outside went all the way to the Gelson(?) supermarket. Shit's nuts. Sucks for the people who didn't get to come in to see the final show. So a couple minutes before the show officially started, the Bears showed up. Joel, Isaac and Chuy. We went over our "game plans", and that was that. I did four out of the five intermissions. Basically from the second one on to the last one... I was... Dead. Beat. Tired. But it was fun as hell. Can't wait till the video and pictures come out. Then after the show, everyone went to the afterparty at Michael Cassady's house (aka the main star of Freak Dance). It was awesome talking to everyone and just networking and stuff. Drank a lot of beer; I don't even remember how many, but I do remember the part where my left hand was holding my cup of beer, then I was talking to Scott (Rodgers) and did some kind of hand gesture with my right hand and knocked my left hand cup down on the ground and spilled my beer on the floor. Sorry Scott. Haha. Party foul = Awkward moment. I got home around 2 AM, still pretty drunk. Woke up this morning for work, still feeling the buzz. Wished it was still the weekend. But yeah, that was my Sunday. Good ol Sundays...

Yes Man....
I just finished watching Yes Man, and I just have to say if I could find someone like Allison (Zooey Deschanel's character), then that would be awesome. And yes, this is worth posting a blog entry for.

One month gone.
So due to the downage of internet and me not caring about it so much, I got a lot done. Makes me think I should cut the internet more often. Anyway, let's see what's new...
Wrist injury.
Pain in the ass. I had no idea how my wrist got hurt; it just started hurting one night after riding my bike. And that was over a month ago. Wrist pain lead to less practice, no bike riding, and more movie watching. The pain comes and goes, so I don't know if it's recovered right this second. Damn sneaky wrist pains.
New car.
2009 Scion xB in white. Not my first choice of color, but I got used to it. I'm anti-rice-rocket, but I'll have to admit, my car looks pretty riced out due to all the extra upgrades put on it. Having it less than a month, there's already two different occasions of damage on it. Some fuck hit the back driver side wheel when pulling in or out of a parking space (from what it looks like). And another was from the car wash that scratched up my front driver side rim. I forgot to add, the wheels alone costs over $2000. I hate people that can't respect other people's cars, especially NEW cars. I hope they get in a horrible, horrible accident in their shit car. No, that's mean, but yeah, fuck them.
World of Dance.
No idea how I got in for free, but I did. Didn't get to meet Rino, so that was a bummer. And walked in while they were taking their bow AFTER their performance. I'd rather have watched that than Born vs. Lil Rock, aka the huge disappointing exhibition ever created. Other than that, it was fun. Only because we didn't have to pay. For the record, Rino has been my all-time favorite female dancer and a huge inspiration to me to become a better dancer/person. Just an FYI. That sounded so noobish and corny. Damn.
"Freak Dance".
Basically from the first Battle Snakes debut performance, everyone flaked out except me. I got Jacky to do it with me (no homo), and surprisingly, we killllllled it. The show was sold out packed that some audience members had to sit on the side of the stage. The show was also filmed, so hopefully I get to get ahold of that footage. As I was coming out of the backstage door, this guy who looked super familiar and I'm pretty positive he's an actor in a sitcom or something, told me we ripped it. That was awesome. But not as awesome as the hot girls that also said the same thing. Last show ever on the 26th. Also getting filmed. After party afterwards.
PS. This internet is still pretty overrated.
