PROGRESS

Wow, its been an amazing weekend. Brandon came up and we practiced for awhile on Thursday night. After practice we had an airsoft war for an hour or two, then ended the night with a game of poker with some friends.
The next morning we all woke up and had a business meeting, talking about all sorts of things. It was good to make progress. Then we practiced for a few more hours.
This song, "demons" is what we refer to it as (primarily because of the lyrics about oppression), totally transformed. Its great when one person suggests the perfect idea that totally transforms a song to something way better than just verse, chorus, verse, chorus. We've got plans to record and we're organizing more weekends to complete demos for four more songs.

More exciting news, Brandon and his wife Sara will be moving to Denton this summer into the house I currently live in. Ethan is also trying to arrange things so that he can move in. Living together will make practicing and writing SO much better and easier. So pray that everything goes smoothly.

Also, we've been working on booking for another midwest tour in July. Soon I'll post some cities that we're having trouble with. In the mean time, please pray for our donation station website and promote it however you can.

Praise the Lord for the work he does!

2 days in, $300 down.
Truly truly, we are so blessed by your financial sacrifices. Thank you for being a part of what we're doing!

This Is The Fun Part

The past two days have been BUSY BUSY!
I came down to GNARlington to help Brandon finish up the site and take care of a few other things. He worked on coding that thing for SO LONG. Basically like 9:30AM-6:00PM, and we were just putting the finishing touches on it!
It's been a really cool thing though to get to make it ourselves. We were able to have every graphic exactly how we want it and we were able to take the time to do that, thank the Lord.
Anyway, hopefully if you're reading this you know by now that the website is UP!
We'll be promoting it as often as we can for the next two months, and we hope that you'll join us in that. By like Friday or so we hope to have updated the multimedia page with various banners and other ways you can help us promote it.
We need your help!

But more importantly, if you can't give financially, that's TOTALLY cool. However, if you can help in any way, weather that be prayer, promoting, or really anything, you are GREATLY appreciated.

So now it's all out there. Out of our hands again. This is the fun part.

Practice Makes Website

We just finished a really long day. Brandon came up to Denton really early and we worked on the website (which will launch soon). Got some free chik fil a and then hit it hard, working on perhaps our oldest song with Brandon as a drummer.
WOW! The whole thing completely changed. Its one step closer to where we want it to be. Only problem is when we timed it it was almost 7 minutes. Gonna have to trim some fat.
Anyway, a great practice overall. We left in high spirits and shot each other with some airsoft guns once or twice. Hopefully the website will be up FRIDAY, so keep your eyes peeled.
