Sunday again

Well, I had planned on getting up early today. My plan fell through as I woke up around 11am. I went on the internet as usual. I posted on Facebook about the success of the Fizziks gig Saturday Night. There were about 200 people at the show, which was kinda nerve racking. We did ok though. I managed to get some of the songs on video. I tried out this great Beyerdynamic mic by mounting it in the tent frame, dead center above the group. The sound is really good on it. The performance wasn't bad. It could have been better, but it shows what we need work on. I transferred the video to the computer and uploaded it to Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS-qvCcYkXA . I sent an e-mail to the guys. I've only had one response so far. Most people on Facebook liked it. I did some cleaning up too. I cleared off my songwriting work station. I made some coffee. I took a bath and re-read a great book on goals and motivation. I read a few sales books, and a bit on negotiation. I tried to sell to a manager, turns out he already knows the studio guys. I know this from talking to one of the owners. I came up with a chart for band research and kind of market review. I e-mailed another band.
I then went onto the C.R.U.M.B.S. blog. It's a blog about the local music scene. I read an article about the Muddy Cup open mic night winning Best Open Mic, in the Metroland Reader's Poll. That was great news. I had gone there in 2007 to play music, and caught the comedy bug. I started to do regular open mic there when the place was not so compact as it is now. There's this other Open Mic with a marketing slogan "Best Open Mic Ever". I thought that was kinda pretentious. Who's the Best this year? Another underdog story....I love it
So another story on C.R.U.M.B.S, was about a local guy Kev Brock, that has quit the scene. Hmm, he was kind of inspiring in a way. I thought it strange seeing as he likes Sly Stallone. I posted on the site, I think unless they took it down. Because I just looked and didn't see it there. I said "what do you think would have happened if Sly quit? Then Rocky would have never came out....I said "You say what needs to be done as far as being professional(when most of his words were spelled wrong)yet you don't show us how it's done, you just quit? I said something about Rocky 2 where Mickey says "go back to the docks where you belong". I'm kind of upset that it's not up there. Did they not like it? Don't I have a say too? Was I too harsh?

Anyhow, I called Vince to get my pay from the gig last night. They usually cash the check at Pinhead Susans. They claimed there was too much money changing hands or something. So I had to either get a check from Vince or cash. He didn't answer the phone when I called, so I had to go get a check in Albany. So I made a plan.
I went to Taco Bell, then to Vince's. I turned around and went to Barnes and Noble. I bought two books. One on Creative writing, and one about Buzzmarketing. I think it might help my sales and get some buzz going about this blog, and the band, and detailing? Let's hope so.
