 Post subject: Who misses the old website?Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:51 am 
I've been thinking a lot lately... And I just now ran into a broken eisley link that lead to the old merchsite, and I saw the pictures of Stacy as a wee youngin'... Why doesnt Boyd archive that one somewhere, so that we can all go back and reminisce  ? _________________

Hmmmmmmmm. Lets go back in the archives a bit boyd wrote: Monday ...Sorta
JANUARY 24-25, 2005 I wish I could pass this off till morning because I can scarcely hold a single thought in my head right now, but I'm too far behind. Can't do it. The new and newly designed Eisley on-line portals are up. Though the website is primarily a marketing tool for newcombers, I will work hard to keep it loaded with vital information. I LOVE this forum re-design. Fun. fun. I could eat it like drab green cake with burnt sienna icing. We're leaving soon. I can't believe it. The time has flown by like magic fairy dust blown from a 200 horsepower blow dryer. It's awl comin' down. I really can't stay awake. My eyes are shut... Can't hold...on. More tomorrow... ____________________________ Dis(my)Claimers "The site. I'll be tweaking the design along the way. It will improve. but...for now - it's UP!! p.s. I'll work on making a very, very obscure link to the old site since i know you guys have expressed an interest. I never throw anything away. I want to be able to draw a straight line from the past to the final chapter." I quoted myself because I have little time today. And, thank you...i will take a vacation. It's called a road trip. ha ha... If you're digging the new site, please post a few comments in the section that somebody started. I saw it last night. I appreciate your encouraging feedback. It's a scary job. I wanna make everyone happy but it's hard. I can say that the band has not stopped thanking me and really, really, loves it... only ONE thing: some of them have expressed interest in having blogs. (!!!! hey, i'm as surprised as you but we have the secret weapon: gRegor. php man) This may take a bit more time...but it will happen. And I WILL also put up a band "about" section with generic shortened bio and some history for newbies. For Now -it's an abridged version of what it can and will be. Also, I might change out the main images from time to time... Eisley (on) iTunes Another blast out today about Eisley's new itunes deal... a 'lil package: Telescope Eyes, Vintage People (Eisley produced in Tyler), and an old, old, early, early, version of TreeTops tracked in Nebraska by the band and Mike Mogis. btw. pm gRegor about readability on the site. I'm used to the subtlety but whatever works... I'm down. Thanks yall.... bd What Day is it? ...Who's my mamma? January something like 26 or 27 As my sleep depravation slinks into the final state of digression, I attempt, to fade into the night only after bringing some creative thought to this dwindling forum... My brain thinks I'm one with a very specific forest -where prehistoric foliage surrounds the tender underbrush... and I lay lurking, with some trepidation...as dusk settles. The hues in this color palette are similar to the ones i just created for the image on the front page of the eisley website... is that a coincidence or have i become so delusional that I cannot discern the difference between the realities of dream and software? I am somewhere in between. This is truly an altered state. I best go to sleep. But first....(slumps in a daze). I dunno. I'm way behind. I'm way, way, behind. Tomorrow, I attempt with all vigor to bring closure to all design projects and put on my Tour Manager's cap. I am way behind... but there's one thing I won't sacrifice on: I will have those nifty little lanyards for band and crew. That's really all I care about in life. I always wanted to make those for a tour. And here's my chance. The pinnacle of my career. Oh Lord... goodnite. 4:50am p.s. oh yeah, almost forgot. I tweaked the front page image. That green was sorta kinda ghastly. I might make changes along the way. Life isn't static. neither should the web be. oh, and...Local TV cameras n crew will be in our den at high noon... and they follow the band to rehearsal tomorrow night to film live stuff. hmmph. Oh, and this is the most inspirational moment of my entire month - last night at like 3am, they came and got me... they (eisley and their 'lil brothers and sisters) led me up into the attic, where they had cleared out a giant space and set up keyboards and tiny amps and a cocktail kit...and they hung sheets; it was their new practice/songwriting space... up there in the attic. It was like they made a fort. I nearly cried. Brevity is... ...my soul JANUARY 27th-ish, 2005 I decided to shag a few words early tonight. My friend is bringing me coffee again. I said to him - I said: " but weren't you just here...and you brought me coffee a few nights ago?..." and he said - he said -Tim Turley said, "boyd...hello(!), that was almost a week and a half ago...dude, you're losing it...you're slipping..." and I said - i say's to him - i says: "it could have been 2 nights ago. I think I've been living outside of time and space". Closure Eisley is being filmed by local TV station KLTV - who were also over at the house today, filming while the band mumbled around the kitchen, fixing cereal and making coffee. It was funny. I smirked and came back into my room to crank.the.molee. I have completed so many bits and klarnks and participles of projects these past few days...i cannot and willl not even attempt to admit them into public record. My hard drive is full again and...(no. my BRAIN, you doh-doh's). But it's nice to switch gears. Get my head outside of the web; get out of solitary confinement. Get out on the open ROAD!!! woo hooo!! sky. air. sunshine. mountains. But I still have art projects to finish tonight: "boyd, oh...we're gonna need all of the merch for the nfg tour...like before you leave..", and "boyd, we just need 2 more flyers for college radio and for another in-store in Seattle.." and, "boyd, (along with many on the list) listen to this new eisley commercial...and final edits to the video..." and "xyz publication needs such and such photo of the early BrewTones days" and "we need you to post this on the blog"... All normal duties but...I hae to do them tonight. So, I'm being brief again. Tomorrow we leave for Houston. Speaking of - our friends and relatives in H town have been calling all day about some full page, full color article. I don't know what it is really, but they're impressed. cool. Well, here's where I say... I hope I get to meet some of you out on the road. Here's where I say, I won't remember your user name or your proper name or your face or anything... because it's just me; and you are you all. i love you. i mean it. well, i sorta do. as much as is possible without knowing who the heck you are. See you on the road. boyd-o Houston ...Rocks JANUARY 28 - 'er-ninth, 'er-30th, 2005 I have consistently said - there's something about the Houston market. Is it because eisley was borne here? Because I went to hight school here? What is it? But it seems like the band enjoys so much "favor" here. This full color, full page with full color, full page photo's on the inside of their entertainment section is overwhelming. The photo's are huge... captivating. Maybe it's roots. Today, we went to Comp USA where a worker met them at the door with wide eyes and a big smile: "man! I never thought i'd see Eisley in my store!"... then we went to the Guitar center; we needed the hook up because we needed lots of stuff and we only have a great connection with Tommy, the manager of the Dallas store. Some guy comes up and he's llike, "hey...i recognize you guys from Eisley; if you need anything, let me know". So, we go to check out later and it turns out he saw them at the Coldplay show, has both ep's, hasn't missed a Houston performance and will be there tomorrow night! He was amazing...so encouraging and cool. Anyway...the show is tomorrow night. I'm excited. First shows are always scary. You have to blow the cogs out. But, hey! There's already 200 advanced ticket sales and the room only holds 500 - the venue say's - which he said, is way over the top for a Sunday night show...and for the room, it likey means we'll have a full house with walk up. That's amazing, huh? So, come early. I'm not saying it will sell out. I really doubt it. Sunday night - people will be like, "ahh...i'm tired and work will come too early". 25 boxes of merch for Kim to deal with! woah. I've been printing soundscan sheets, set lists, merch sheets, sign up sheets, advancing shows, adding stuff to the website blog (see it? i figured out how to make scrollable gifs links to url's!), tried to replace duplicates images before going brain dead, was out - as mentioned earlier. Oh, we're all at my brother's house in Richmond. I'm so tired. Catching up in one day is impossible. I can't keep up. 20 pms tonight. It took me the length of time I might have crafted a better blog here, to answer each one. Now I'm toast. See you guys tomorrow. Remember, I won't remember you but it doesn't mean i don't care. bd |

Was there a site between MossEisley.com and the current one? Cause Boyd was mentionning the "new site" in Jan. 2005 (and Moss Eisley changed to Eisley long before then). |
