Oh my goodness...

... so much seems to be happening. It felt like July was kind of slow. In fact, there was a bit of a "what now?" feeling after the CD release party - at least on my part. But, as always, just when it seems like things have slowed down, they pick up faster than ever. I've been a little stressed the past couple of weeks, knowing there is just so much that I need to do, but feeling as though I didn't have enough time to do it. It's also tiring waiting to see if Pitchfork, Prefix or any of the bigger publications will be reviewing their album. If they do, it could really change anything, and if not, then we just need to keep plugging away.

I knew August would be a good month, at least with the Performer Presents show at the end of the month, not to mention our upcoming Amoeba Records promotion. Now it seems there is even more on the horizon. I'll reiterate my excitement for the Performer show, as its our first with some serious sponsorship and could bring us a lot of attention. There's also a great show in Oakland on August 17 with our pal Greg Ashley, and last time I talked to the band, it seemed like they had the rest of the year booked up locally. As for me, I've been exchanging some emails and phone calls that have me very excited about some possible opportunities.

There's some major events happening in San Francisco this month with lots of industry people in attendance - including the Bandwidth Conference on August 17 and 18 - which will give me a few opportunities to do some serious networking. Oh, and there's a bunch of shows I plan to hit up to, as we start thinking about setting up a tour. That's all that I can think of offhand, but I am sure there is more that I am neglecting to mention.

I seriously need to knuckle down and edit another episode of the video series - would kind of defeat the whole mission statement of this label thing if I put that on the backburner for too long.
