You Couldn't Breathe With All Those Doctors By Your Side, But You're Talking To Me

February was a pretty bad month.

2nd -- My grandmother passed away. She had been sick for awhile and everyone saw it coming, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. It's hard to lose a best friend, you know? This happened a few days before my granddad's birthday. He's still pretty upset about it, which is completely understandable; how could one not be? I'm staying with him a few days over my spring break.

8th -- This was a good night. Show at The Cat Cave. mulleigh, Savant (their first show!), Trench Party, Imperial Can, The Wild, and Mount Righteous. All of the bands did amazing. You can see some videos I recorded here: http://www.youtube.com/user/DakotaFloyd

20th -- Picked up my new amp. Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410. My Peavey VK112 is now for sale (you should buy it). Painting at Eyedrum. Another show at The Cat Cave. This one didn't go quite so well due to a lot of negative factors. archaeology, Savant, imadethismistake, Giant Lion, Red Sea. Needless bullcrap happened and made the show kind of miserable after the first two bands.

22nd -- Fun show at WonderRoot. Hanging out with old friends and making new ones. Poorly attended, but oh well. It happens. Jenny is a Boy, Neil Cane, World's Smallest Puzzle, Trench Party.

28th -- Ordered new speakers and cables for The Cat Cave. Bringing my mixer down over spring break.


So there you have it. I'm ready for Summer so I can get out of this hole of a college. I hate it here so much. Isolation. Anxiety. Ennui. Anomie. Loneliness. I don't belong here, despite how much everyone tells me I do. You have no idea who I am; I know what is right for me and what isn't more so than you.
