About me:

..

Life seems best outdoors, with friends, warmth, sandals, and a frisbee. As such, I'm laid-back and easy to please.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I have chosen a life of music. I'm lucky enough to play drums in a band, Facing Winter, that I loved for years before I had the opportunity to join. Justin, Liam, and I have dedicated ourselves to it. Our goal is neither fame nor fortune; rather, to simply make a living by playing music.

Hear some Facing Winter at these three places:

Facebook:
www.new.facebook.com/pages/Facing-Winter/28365370835

MySpace:
www.myspace.com/facingwinter

Official Site:
www.facingwinter.com

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Want to help? Here are two quick & easy ways:

1) Login to Facebook, go to the FW Official Facebook (same as link above), and click "Become a Fan" ... then you'll get updates on Facebook whenever there's an FW show in your area, when we upload new music and videos, etc.

2) Go to facingwinter.com and Join the Email List. Then tell your friends.

Random hilarity:



::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Everyone needs a nickname. Friends affectionately call me G-Ballz, because I say things such as, "Man, it's snowin' ballz out here!"

    What the fuck is up dude??? Though I'd say hi and ask you if this is the Cub's year to win it all....Oh and also, I'm very surprised, but I actually kinda like the new Metallica CD.

    Facing Winter's acoustic show tonight will be broadcast live to the internet masses. Tune in from 11 PM TO MIDNIGHT tonight (Central time) to see and hear a 13-song acoustic set, featuring fan favorites new ("Moonshine" and "Slowpoke") and old ("For Real" and "Scientists").


    Here's the link for the webcast, hosted by Script's Hangout at ustream. tv:

    http://www. ustream. tv/channel/script%27s-hangout

    This will be a private, RSVP-only house show at Humboldt Studios in Chicago. Hosting (but not performing) will be our great friends Them Damn Kids. They've hosted more than 20 such shows in the last couple of years, and this will be the first to be webcast.


    Anyone who watches should leave a comment on the FW page afterward, to let everyone know how it looked & sounded.

    Hey Jeff, thanks so much for the congrats! We missed you at the wedding, it was lots and lots of fun, but I understand why you couldn't make it. I'm sure your parents and sister can regale you with plenty of stories, not to mention photos.
    Thanks again!

    Ha ha, I was actually in the bleachers - right where the concourse starts! I was so mad, because my Tivo taped the CSN version of it, and though mlb. com had the WGN version, they cut the fan cam part out!

    How are things with you?

    Nice game last week. I'm pissed at my offense. It was their worst outing.

    We expect to lose pitching battles, but on offense, let's just say the disappointment spilled over onto the message board. Sorry about that. On an unrelated note, The Goluszka building company image, natalia took that photo, its a gigantic sign not two blocks from my apartment. I see it every time i go to the grocery store and i think of you.
    Rock on!
