Playing Catch-up

A trip to the Virgin Islands, a birthday, and a record contract later, here I am.

In mid-march I went to St. John with Meghan and her family, which was a marvelous trip. We swam, hiked, snorkeled, fed iguanas, played with wild kitties, hermit crabs, and had all sorts of crazy adventures. I'll edit this post with pictures when I get around to it.

My birthday on March 22nd was fun. I got lots of great birthday wishes from friends at school and my family. I got some great birthday gifts, and had a couple of fantastic days with my friends. It was relaxing and fun. I went out to dinner with my guy friends, then was taken OUT to dinner by another friend the next night, which was really sweet.

As for the record contract...My band, The Standards got signed to a not-for-profit record label run through a college in Potsdam, NY, called Madstop Records. We had to change our band's name for copyright reasons, so we changed it officially to Floating Head Doctor. This label is all about promoting local bands, and since they're not trying to profit off of us, we're not being taken advantage of. We will be recording a demo CD (5 songs) with them this summer. We get a great deal on the royalties, and we'll be having a CD release party and shows booked all around upstate NY. I'm totally psyched.
