"Hitting the Ground Running"

Before I left for Europe, Jeremy and I had both told the rest of the band that we were going to "hit the ground running" as soon as I returned, meaning we would be pushing really hard to get this group going ASAP.

Well, that hasn't quite happened...

In addition to me being lazier about the whole thing than I should be, the following things have gotten in our way:

- Emily got married (we knew about this ahead of time though)
- Doug's having shoulder surgery
- Erich's SUPER busy at work and canceled 1.5 times already
- the new keyboard player fell through and we haven't found another
- my dad's been in the hospital (more on this later)
- Evan moved out and I've gotta move in the next couple of weeks
- Candace and I are kinda on the rocks
- I've got lots of catching up to do from my 2.5 weeks gone

So, when you add all this up, it's been kinda hard to be as productive as we had hoped, regardless of how lazy I've been. Don't get me wrong, Jeremy and I ARE pushing through with new material, and we have had two semi-band rehearsals since I returned, but my goal of having a MySpace page up with demos by the end of October is not looking so good right now. We'll see...
