It's been awhile. I haven't had much to say lately and frankly I was trying to stay away from this blogging stuff (as no one reads this anyway), but alas work couldn't go by any slower today so here I am.
So what's current?
Well, the setbacks are in a bit of a transition period right now. We realized that we spent too much time last year aiming for the stars and in the process we ended up not playing too many shows and not being very happy. Which seems kind of like a strange situation. I think we just got too caught up in talking ourselves out of doing things because we have to do it perfectly or something. Also a lot of the songs we've been playing really aren't a good reflection of who we are as a band. That's mainly due to the fact that when we started no one else was writing music but me, but now we're all songwriters. So we're not completely rejecting everything, but we're going to be more selective about what old songs we keep and focus on writing new material in the new year. Adam's going to study at a recording school in Arizona for a year and then after that we'll be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix or something. A name change may be in store too.
Home life is good. My folks just moved to Lawrence, and it's really great to have them around. We've spent a lot of time catching up with them and letting them catch up with Joel.
This weekend Mari and I will be seeing the Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D, on Saturday the setbacks are playing a show in Manhattan, KS, and then on Sunday Bryan, John and I are leading worship at Heartland.
So that's what's current. That's what you've been missing...
