hello!

Hey all. I'm leaving for San Francisco Thursday-Sunday for a choir (Heritage Festival of Gold) trip, but I'm also ridiculously busy until my graduation on June 12!

Between school, the musical, band managing, choir, prom, graduation, etc. There's something going on for me life-wise every weekend until then.

I haven't been able to be super active in the community as of late, so I'm thinking it's a good time for me to take a nice little hiatus. It wasn't caused by any serious drama, my life off the internet has taken over. Hahaha.

But I'll definitely still be around facebook. twitter, everything else. And I will most definitely still be lurking around BNet when I can, commenting yur pichas, in true LOLCAT fashion.

But I'm sure that as soon as Summer begins I'll be running around like a crazy person just as I have been before.

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle

- Seattle by Perry Como

This is what I'll be calling home for the next few years. I can't wait!

I should be packing, but I figured I would share with all of you in my excitement. I'm leaving (on a jet plane!) for a weekend in the amazing city of Seattle, WA. My college's open house (Seattle University) is tomorrow and I'm planning on doing some sight seeing on top of that. It's kinda crazy, I've only been there once before but I decided to go to college up there. I have a really awesome gut feeliing about it, though. I was reading travel guides and stuff on what to do during my weekend visit, and while I was having trouble deciding where I wanted to go, I realized that eventually I'd be able to see it all. Since it's where I'm going to live for the next couple years! Hopefully my heart won't leave SoCal though. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up singing along to Why You'd Want to Live Here by Death Cab. Doubt it though, I'm born and raised to love Los Angeles.

Did you know?

The movies Say Anything and 10 Things I Hate About You take place in Seattle.

Seattle is so musically hip, it was the first city in the US to play a Beatles song on the radio. Bands like Death Cab, Nirvana, Danger Radio, to name a few, call it home. They have a rockin' annual end of summer music festival called Bumbershoot which is slang for Umbrella (ella, ella, ey). They also have an awesome music museum called The Experience Music Project.

Seattle's Pike Place Market boasts the first Starbucks ever!

Seattle's total land area? 53,718 acres of which 6,189 acres are parks and open areas. That's 11.52%! The parks in Seattle rock. The Port of Seattle parks in town are hidden gems awaiting discovery.

In Seattle, you get to meet this guy:

The Fremont Troll is an awesome piece of public art that shows exactly how eclectic the neighborhood attitude is.

etc. etc. etc. Pretty much so basically, the city is awesome. I doubt I'll end up taking time out of my stay there to blog, so I'll let you know all about it once I get back! =D

For those of you who know Danger Radio and not The Scene Aesthetic, shame on you!

Beloved DR front man Andrew DeTorres started up this acoustic side project in 2005 with fellow music man, Eric Bowley. They write the cutesy to-die-for acoustic songs that girls all wish were written about them and guys all wish they could write to woo the aforementioned girls. Songs about breaking up, making up, and falling in love, these two dudes are armed with guitars and a lot to say, their lyrical prowess is what separates the duo from the rest. Just listen to their lyrics and try not to go "Awwwwwe!"

In 2006, they posted their first song Beauty in the Breakdown, on MySpace and received a plethora of attention. The album Building Homes from What We've Known quickly followed, and TSA built up a cultish underground following. In 2007, they grew in popularity and their record label re-released the same tracklist on their self-titled album.

Shortly following the growing hype, Eric Bowley left to do missionary work for two years. He has returned recently and The Scene Aesthetic is back in action, just finished up a tour, and are scheduled to play The Bamboozle Left. Plans for the near future include a release of a new EP of B-Sides and new tracks entitled Play, Stop, Rewind, Repeat.

Featured Tracks:
Beauty in the Breakdown
Yes, Even Stars Break
Humans (New Song!)

Hey Buzznet friends! It's time for me to ask a favor of any and all of you.

If you're an artist at all, or even if you aren't and you're bored and you think you just want to give it a shot. I would like to personally ask you for your help with Countless Hours, the band that I manage.

We want to start selling merchandise but we need a cool t-shirt design! None of us are good at drawing/design, but when the guys asked me if I knew any good artists, my thoughts immediately went to Buzznet! The amount of talent around here never ceases to amaze me, so if anyone's looking for a fun art project and is looking to help a friend, I'd love you forever.

The creator of the design that we pick will definitely receive a free shirt. for more info straight from the band's mouth, you can read more and talk to the guys about the design if you want more deets on their blog here: Countless Hours needs your help!

Alright Buzznet, show me what cha got!
