Surviving

Well, I'm surviving this whole long-term subbing thing but it is seriously kicking my ass. I thought I was busy before, now it's even worse. Hard to believe that one more hour of scheduled stuff makes life THAT much more insane.

BUT, the good news is, there's some fun stuff coming up. I got my first legit photo pass (not riding on Harry's this time) for the Senses Fail/Saosin/Bleeding Through/Drive By show on Friday which is sweet. On top of that, Harry called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to join him interviewing Drive By before the show and, apparently, the guys from Drive By were all about hanging out and maybe all even getting dinner together before the show. SWEET. And, above and beyond all that, Ben is being an absolute doll/saint/guardian angel and is letting me use his digial SLR to shoot the show. Amazing. I will be terrified of anything happening to it and will guard it with my life, but that is just so freaking cool!!!

And, though it initially seemed like a hairbrained idea, it's looking more and more like we're going to head out to Jersey for The Bamboozle! Harry has enough frequent flier miles that we can probably go first class (hardly necessary, but pretty damn cool) AND his contact at Virgin Records wants to take us out to lunch in Soho if we do go. How cool is that?? Sure, I'll end up using my two personal days and be a trainwreck the following week at school, but shit, for a rock and roll weekend in Jersey and NYC, I'll handle being a wreck! (and, by that time, I should have yearbook off my hands too, so that's good!)

Ok, a few photos from the Heavens show and I'm out.
