Whats New?

Ok so I'm just going to jump on in. It is 4:50 pm on a Thursday. I just got home from work. I'm covered in grease, oil, and other substances with unknown origins. Working in a copper extruding factory shows me the real difference between "Dirt" and "Filth." The latter is the worst. Honestly, the grime under my nails will not come out! Any way,
I'm sitting here in the cold with a few things on my mind:
First: I am wondering how much longer i am going to be here (Utah). The reasoning behind this is as follows. In the world of entertainment it's all about who you know. And i know this guy.:
Brian Penny is the Guy who basically showed me what it is to really play the guitar. And also he demonstrated what REAL music is. a few years ago he moved to Boston to be co-producer and guitarist for the band"Bone Gunn"
( http://www.myspace.com/bonegunn )

Well a few weeks ago Penny calls me up and says "Hey, man. You still playing guitar?"
To which i responded "Yeah"
"Well our other guitar player is dropping out so.... you want to join a rock band?"
that was a gross simplification but that was the point of it.
so they flew me out there for an audition the first week of January. I met all the guys. They were all chill, like-minded people. Then i came home. the plan now is to keep practicing here and wait till they can afford to move me out there permanent. But it looks like there is more of a chance of me being the "samples guy" for now, which means I'll do all the noise that you can't make with guitars, drums, or vocals. And also i will be a stand in guitar/bass player as needed. With any luck I'll be in Europe on their next tour (which should be around May or June i believe) Doing something like this:
So that is super exciting, except the waiting part, that blows.
