Thanks, Pam!

So, we kind of decided to release a couple of the finished songs we’ve been recording with Matt Doctor at Bear Creek Studio. This songs are pretty amazing and I know people are going to go apeshit over them.
It’s become a very challenging experience figuring out how the next album is going to come out. Things cost money, and we don’ have any. At least, we don’t have enough. Therefore, we need outside help. Which is where the label comes in. We just want to make our music as available as possible in as many different formats as possible, while still staying true to our DIY spirit.
Long story short, if you LOVE the new songs, spread them. Spread them far and wide, and new ones will appear even sooner.

Things I have done today:

1. Woke up early. This is good. Hopefully, when I eventually have a job, I won’t have to shave my eyelids off to get up in the morning.

2. Made breakfast. Also a great way to start the day.

3. Read my book. I started it last night and will finish it today. Yes, Jared, it’s Jodi Picoult. We can’t all be absorbed by your graphic novels and xenogenesis series’.

4. Job Interview! This is what made my day a true success story. I will give no more details because I don’t want to jinx it.

5. Created a Facebook page for the band.

And it is only 3:16 PM! I think I will check my account balance and see if my tax return has been directly deposited. I also think the band should have a fund raiser show for me. I am totally worth it.

Actually, we are juuuust over the hump. Amen! I was ready for Friday while still on vacation this Monday.  Sometimes the anticipation of going to work is far worse than actually being there. Mainly because it involves riding the bus daily and pretending to listen to music to drown out the crazies. My headphones broke recently; their sole purpose now is to muffle the sounds of Rashida and her phone call regarding her “skinny bitch of an ex best friend” and the incessant foot tapping of Kevin who is taking summer classes at UW. Unfortunately, my high tech ear muffs don’t blind me.

Moving on to the light at the end of the tunnel…Man Plus! That’s really why we’re here, right? Everyone needs to update their palm pilots/blackberries/cell phone calenders/tiny portable notebooks to include the plethora of upcoming shows.

Why celebrate the 4th of July when you can celebrate the 5th of July with US at the High Dive? It’s going to be a mantabulous show and will POSSIBLY debut a new bassist. Possibly. I err on the side of caution when leaking this information because I am simply not sure whether or not it is true.

Then, on July 11th we are having a pool party at Reese’s parents’ house and playing a show in Bellingham at the Boundary Bay Brewery. Mmmm….beer.

On July 12th we are having a good ol’ fashion ho-down complete with chickens. Yes, chickens. LIVE ONES! At the Doom Nest. It is a house party unlike any you will ever attend. (Come on, there’s livestock)

July 26th is the Capitol Hill Block Party. We are playing the Vera Stage in the hot outdoors AND it is all ages. Enough said.

And if you are truly devoted to Man Plus you will follow us to Spokane, WA, Missoula, Mt and Billings, MT starting August 7th. Manat’s in-law’s are coming. They love us. You love us! Join the caravan!

Okay, I’m done. Craig is coming over. We are going to drink beer and delve into his medical history!
