Hey all!
It's been such a long time since I've been blogging eh. I've got some big posts come to mind but a lot of the ideas have sadly been bouncing around my head for weeks upon weeks. So much is going on. This will probably one of the shortest posts ever.
So, I got my G drivers license. Amazing! This is something I put in my "Things" list under Life. I felt it was something I needed to be a little more grown up and serious about moving on up in my life. Done! The reason it became such a big thing is because I totally failed it my first attempt and then I got busy and then the testing people were on strike forever. The bonus was an extended license which gave me the time to go and pass it rightly. Sweet!
Second, the band played our first show. Yes we did play it at a house party but we played awesome and that's totally what counts. Show's coming up in March. Look for the band name "Take Cover Arizona" It just might be us. Cuba Libre has somehow lost it's lustre over the entire year since this plane first took off so we're trying on a new name to see how it goes. It seems to fit and less obscure than the Libre. So now the topic of conversation on the band name is gone but that's alright.
Third, I'm leaving the nest. Yep I'm moving into the big city. Finally yknow. Kidding. I think it's just the right timeing. I wasn't ready before. I've done some things over the past few months that have given me a huge boost and added confidence in all this amazing stuff. I feel ready now, and I think I can afford it too. My dream of scraping by for a little bit as I work my but off is almost here.
Fourth, I'm organizing an event for my church. Yes. Me... Weird eh? I never saw my self as the type to take on a task such as this but I almost feel like I'm organizing something for family or whatever. I can't screw it up as long as I put the energy I usually put into events into this one. The difference is that I took on the role as the main guy. It's kind of fun. It's going to be amazing. Oh and you should definitely come! I don't know how few people read my blog but really you should think about it.
Here's a card that was done. I can't take credit for the drawing. That's all Andrea Manica. She has a wicked blog called "Cereal with a smile". If you like the drawing on the card, check her blog, you'll love it.
But yes, the church is just east of College and Bathurst. Just east of Bellevue on the south side. Everyone is welcome. We'll have free coffee, inexpensive yummy snacks and other warm beverages. It's a great opportunity we have for outreach so bring a friend. Oh, important facts. The Coffee House is an event that's chill like a coffee shop but a band or musical act is playing. We'll have some games, comfy seating and a wicked ambience to our environment. You'll love it. Plus you could meet some great people and have some wicked fun. So yeah, bring a mug, bring a friend or two or three or four or more. Everyone is welcome. In fact, if you see random people on your travels to get to the event, invite them too. We'd love to have them there.
Your Heart will be playing. Rumour is that they have a new song about Zelda. Maybe they'll play it. And then Elissa Mielke and Chris Graham will also be playing. Both super talented singer songwriters on piano and guitar respectively.
So yeah, you and me and a whole bunch of other people, let's rock!
Peace, love, rock and coffee house to all,
J
