And no, we haven't ever officially chatted...plenty of back and forth on some threads, though, and I have to say I enjoy it!Don't know if I've ever properly introduced myself, but the name's Matt
The same to you

Hi, Matt!

You're right, we haven't...since a favorite user of ours..erm...expired
I've been okay. Working a bunch to pay for shows, fun, etc. My own band has booked a few shows of our own and we're actually hosting a festival that we've organized in my community in July
Haha. Got any videos of your band? Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:[..]
Nice to meet you Olof. I'm in Chicago myself...the suburbs, really (smaller towns outside the major city- not sure if the vocabulary is the same around the world)...and it's quite the shitty day today. Raining like a monsoon through town today.

It was a shame that he went away...
I've been doing exams since I last chatted to you + I've went into my final year of school. Almost Summer holidays, wish they would come soon. But other than that, I've been quite bored. Haven't had a proper gig since April, but I do have Kings of Leon in 11 days
You organised a festival!? Wow, you must be pretty big
And yeah, no videos of the band yet- we haven't had any shows yet and our practices aren't worth taping. I can PM you the setlist though if you care to know what we're playing. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:[..]
It wasn't that hard to organize the fest. Finding a venue to take us on was the hard part, but our drummer works for a church (as a janitor) that has a big room attached to it- basically just a huge recreational room- that they're letting us use for free the day of the festival. We've booked 4 bands, including ourselves, for the bill, and each member of each band will pay $12 to put towards the massive staging we've rented. A back-lit projection screen will hang behind most of the stage, so we can do a live video feed or whatever graphics we want, and admission will be $2 solely to donate to local food pantries. We won't be making any money off the gig- just a great way to play for a ton of people.
It's a lot of fun, really
Originally posted by Mr_Trek:I also want to be in a band, me and my friends need to stop discussing it and start doing it...
I don't generally play my guitar there though. I get up and just howl along with the guy who plays there every week. 
Had a meeting for my own student company now its almost done. Also my school year is almost done, just some exams in two weeks and than its vacation time
