 Post subject: Bad vibes.. My week to Eisley.. Or not..Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2005 11:10 am 
When I found out Eisley was going on another tour after their headlining one, I definatley was there. I enjoyed myself so much the first show I went to, I would be a fool to neglect myself of that experience again.. Well, I first saw in the forums that the closet place to me to watch them was Santa Cruz CA, on August 1st. Which is a Monday, which mean I would REALLY have a hard time finding a ride. Well, about 3 weeks ago, I found out that they are ALSO playing in SF, CA at the Fillmore. I talked to my friend and he said there's a BIG chance he can take me. So I got stoked. The thing is, I was VERY tight on money. Ever since my car accident, I haven't had a chance to work as much, so all my money really goes to bills and food. Praying that ticketmaster will have tickets on the DAY of the event because THAT'S when i'll get my money, I bugged everyone at work for their hours to save up money for the concert. So for two weeks, I worked and worked and worked. Almost a week to go for the concert, and my friend Mike says he MIGHT have to go camping with his cousin on that weekend of the concert, which makes my show ruined... Obviously, I feel crummy about the situation that is until my friend Gus who just came back from the airforce talks to me about wanting to go out and go somewhere like Santa Cruz and relax. When finding out about my show, he offers to take me just as long as I pay for his gas  . So things are working out great! Well....
A week to go of the concert and him and his girlfriend (which she is like my little sister) start having problems. This is stress to me because when they are feeling bad, especially as close as I am to them, I feel bad. I really don't want to pick sides, but all i'll say is my friend Gus didn't do anything wrong. But that's not important.. I'm stressing out on that trying to put things together in my head, and then it hit me that Monday morning. I'm getting weird vibes about this concert.. I didn't know why, but I just did.. At first I thought I was jus nervous.. Tuesday comes along and works calls me because they desperatley need someone to work on Friday. BLAH, fine, i'll do it.. Big deal. More money I guess. Wednsday come around and that night we have band practice (Gus and Mike are included in my band) I was also excited because i'd be going home wit Gus because he lives by my grandma and I can go visit her, due to that she hasn't really been doing good lately. So things might turn out ok eh? WELL.. Bear with me guys. I get a call from Gus telling me something happened and he HAS to go to LA to fix things with his Girlfriend, BUT SHOULD be back before Monday. (He better I thought  ) Well, there goes my ride to my grandmas. Well, I go to call my grandma and aunts about what happen with Gus, and my phones off.. Turns out, my phone company didn't get one of my payments (lost in mail I guess?) which means my phone is off, even though I JUST got finished talking to Gus a few hours prior.
Well we get the phone thing taking care of and I go to band practice. Band practice was horrible... I mean, not playing horrible.. Just things didn't go right. Plus things were on my mind.. WELL, I borrow my friends phone and call my aunt to let her know about me not going over there, and she tells me she'll pick me up that next morning. I'll just get a ride with my parents to their work and my aunt will meet me there. Sweet! My friend Mike THEN tells me he CAN go to the Eisley concert. So now TWO Eisley concerts! Talk about HELL YEAH. The next morning I hop in the shower only to come out and find out my parents had to leave early and my Mom would pick me up later. So I wait... I then get a call from my Mom sayng my Aunt got into a fender bender on the way to pick me up and won't be able to get me. She was shaken a little bit. The thing is, everyone knows im still a bit afraid in cars due to my accident, and with her getting into a fender bender, she was afraid for my sake.. But bottom line, my trip to "g'mas" was cancelled.. That's when the vibes got worse. I began telling people about them and some thought I was overreacting.. But this doesn't feel right.. Too many things are preventing me from doing things.. I'm not sure about drive to SF and Santa Cruz or the concert itself.. Saturday night I get a call from Gus.. His GF sister is in the hospital and he can't take me to Santa Cruz. (THank God Mike can still take me to SF) Man, what is going on? Sunday... Today... I go to buy the tickets and find out that they took the ticketmaster out of the store not even 2 weeks ago... And the closest ticketmaster is like 40 minutes away, the OTHER direction of the concert. 40 minutes isn't a lot, but with limited money (gas) and limited time, it is. After I get home, my friend Mike calls me and tells me that one of our friends friend got killed in a car accident this morning. The reason she called Mike was because the last 2 times someone has gotten in the car accident in the morning, someone else got in one that night. One of those instances me, my brother and my friend were involved in. Me and Mike were kinda speechless.. We were kinda scared to hit the road. Plus, we have to STILL get tickets.. Now i'm not preaching my vibes were correct, but my gut feeling got to kicking in. Within one week, that just HAPPEN to be before the concert, I basically lost a best friend, someone got in an accident going to pick me up, and I went from going to one Eisley show, to 2, to NONE. Now to some, the other stuff that happened kinda has nothing to do with the concert (my friend as his gf having problems) but looking back at them, they really do, since they all lead to the events of making it difficult for to go to these shows in some form of fashion. Too much seemed to be happening RIGHT before the show. Something or someone is telling me not to go to this show.. Heck, even if I WANTED to, the way things came up, it looks like I won't be able to.. So my week and day has been ruined. Maybe it was for the best. I believe things happen for a reason. This may have just been a way for ME not to go to the concert for some reason (God works in mysterious ways) but from me to you guys; Have LOADS of fun, tell Eisley they are hardcore for me, and be please be safe. I look forward hearing how your guys trip turned out. _________________ UPDATE: REAL MYSPACE LINK! http://www.myspace.com/2399095 Check out my FLICKR and leave comments!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/28644084@N00/

As far as your week Y4J... sorry it's been such a bummer in more ways than one. And I totally agree, everything does happen for a reason, and hopefully somehow you'll be able to make it out to one of the shows! |

I notice some of you guys are from Cali. You guys going to the shows? (Wait, its 7pm you'd already be on your way...) Well, even if you are going to tomorrow's show.. BETTER MAKE SOME NOISE. Whats good is since I can't go, it's only going to build up from here. I'm going to be hoarse for a MONTH after I go to the next concert. As for everyone else, you guys rule. Makes me glad to be part of the Eisley coalition. _________________ UPDATE: REAL MYSPACE LINK! http://www.myspace.com/2399095 Check out my FLICKR and leave comments!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/28644084@N00/

Yeah you're right man. First thing I did is what I always do when i'm down in the dumps. Go to a mexican food resturant, eat a nice dinner with my brother and a friend or two, then work on some music. Music always calms me down and clears my mind. Another reason I was upset because I wanted to wish Jon the best and all that, and i'm not going to get that chance. In person at least. Besides, with the week I had and the way my luck is, if I did happen go, I probably would have went to swat a fly buzzin around me, missing the fly but swatting Boyd in the face because I didn't know he was standing by me, and the force of my swat throws his glasses off his face, which happen to fall on stage which Jon then steps on, while doing a one time slap solo on his bass, which causes the glass from Boyds glasses to spray from under Jon's foot and into the faces 6 people in the crowd. All this happening while singing the chorus to Plenty of Paper.. Wait the fly is on Sherri's shoulder... Stay still....... _________________ UPDATE: REAL MYSPACE LINK! http://www.myspace.com/2399095 Check out my FLICKR and leave comments!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/28644084@N00/

You wanna know what's weird? My friend was short on money the day of the concert and couldn't afford to go to the concert, then turns out we can't go either, yet the day after the concert (which was yesterday), his aunt gave him money as a 3 day late birthday present. Funny how he got it AFTER the concert eh? Also on the day after the concert, my friend that I was talkin about, worked things out with his gf and are basically cool again, which means I can mend things with his gf since we are so close, and this problem has been occuring for quite a while. Funny how things fall into place right after this week and the concert eh? Like now the week passed, back to the flow. Kinda interesting when looking back on it all. Things happen for a reason I guess. Maybe this is a sign of good. I better win the lotto... _________________ UPDATE: REAL MYSPACE LINK! http://www.myspace.com/2399095 Check out my FLICKR and leave comments!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/28644084@N00/
