A Welcome

The people that read this regularly and are wondering what the exciting news is, I am about to tell you.

I am the newest member of Skörinc. I will be working for and along side my long time and good friend Brody Harper on the up and coming Rock and Worship Road Show. It is going to be an awesome time learning what he does, helping along the way and coming up with a few cool ideas of my own (hopefully). This does mean that I will be on the road for a little over a month. It is going to be very difficult as I will be away from Colette and Bella. But we are going to burn through cell phone minutes and hopefully some jet fuel as well. If you don't know what Brody does, he creates a web presence for the bands that he regular works with, and will do that same for this tour. This means things like blogging, live streaming video of the shows on the tour, behind the scenes videos, twitter updates from the band on tour, regularly uploading of photos, and anything else we can think of. The idea is to make this tour as interactive as possible. No matter where you are or who you are, you will be able to find something to watch/read about the tour at anytime. So check it out and find something that you like.

To those just coming over from Brody's blog. Welcome! I of course am looking forward to working with Brody and I am definitely looking forward to working with you guys. Brody has created a grass roots company and you guys are its strength. Any all comments are going to be a great help to us. Thanks for stopping by and let's make this the biggest online tour yet. Thanks for stopping by.

Dan in Real Life

Colette and I just watched the movie Dan in Real Life. If you haven't seen it, I recommend that you do so. It is funny, romantic (for lack of a better word), well acted, etc. Not much else that I can think of saying, but it is a really good movie and I think that you should all see it.

Music over bikinis

A few months ago I got a subscription to Spin Magazine. It was meant for a gift and eventually that person will get that gift. A few days ago instead of getting my Spin magazine I received Maxim instead of Spin. And not just one but two, one of which being the swimsuit edition. My step-dad handed me the mail. I am not sure he knows what Maxim is, but i waiting to get talked to about it.

I want my Spin back.

An Epilogue

If you haven't heard my band mates, Nathan and Jess, are moving to Hawaii in less than two weeks. If you knew this and haven't realized, this will make playing in a band together very difficult. (I am not moving to Hawaii). So this will mark the end of my playing with The Art of Whimsy, at least as a permanent part. Nathan plans to continue playing under the name, so The Art of Whimsy will continue on.

We do have two shows left.

Pray

My friends son is having some medical tests done so please pray. Here is the story.

If I was cool I would use bullet points

For the past month I have been a stay at home dad while colette makes the bacon. this means that i should have tons of time to do things like blogging but usually end up holding bella and spending my time with her. that means typing everything with one hand. that is really slow and explains the lack of capitalized letters. to make matters worse i just singed up for twitter. unlike myspace we can't be friends, but you can become my stalker (took me forever to remember how to spell that) and follow me. i might follow you but maybe not.

i need an iphone and unlimited text messaging. last time i asked for something on here i received what i asked for, i can only hope.

my parents changed to dish network so we now have satellite t.v. in our room. i love watching t.v. and movies.

i will have some cool/exciting news that will wait till a little later.

the monster is awake....

Sorry

OK it has been a while, but with a new baby time seems to have changed completely. The past couple of weeks have been very busy between visiting with family and taking care of the baby. All is well and Bella is the star of the family and loving every minute of it. She is growing too fast, already out of newborn clothes and her bassinet. I put together her crib, putting one more thing in our tiny room. She looks so small in such a big bed though I know that won't last long.

We are now down in Southern California (taking only 10 hours!) visiting more family and friends and having a shower/meet the baby party on Saturday. As always Bella is being a champ sleeping well and adjusting great to the new place. She loves her Grandparents already. On the exciting side, she got a travel bed with a mobil that she absolutely loves. She will lay there are just watch the animals go round and listen to the music. She also received a swing that she is not too sure about just yet.

Anyway I am going to go post some pictures over at booterbabyblog. If you want to see our little champ you can go there.
