I am a recent graduate of SIU Edwardsville with a Bachelor's in Music Business. I decided to start this blog for a few reasons: 1)boredom 2)keep in touch with and update the people that I don't get to see very often and 3)use the blog as a means to set goals for myself and have people help me stick to them. This blog will cover the various aspects of my life, most of which include work, rock climbing/bouldering, film, slacklining, and the beginning of my life "in the real world" here in StL.

Bouldering!
Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks....and you will have to wait a bit longer for a full post. I'm leaving in about 1/2 an hour to go down to southern Illinois to do some bouldering. I went to Jackson Falls last weekend (see list on the side), but my friends Andrew, Adrianne and I are going to a new place today called The Graveyard. It is a small area tucked in the woods behind a tiny country church and graveyard. I'm really looking forward to climbing at a new place and hoping to find some good problems/projects. Anyway, hopefully sometime this weekend I'll have a few more minutes to fill you in on the last couple of weeks and maybe have some pictures for you. I hope everyone is well!

COLE GERDES!!!!
Check this out....it's the greatest thing you will ever see!

Isn't that AWESOME! (for those of you who don't know, that's one of my best friends Cole Gerdes from Pontiac. Good Stuff!
In other news: Work went well this weekend. The band was really good and a lot of fun to work with, so that made things easier for me. Had a few technical difficulties, but nothing serious that I couldn't handle. Hopefully this will lead to even more responsibilities at work and the club.
Also, my friend Steve came over the other day to work on some tunes for the soul band. He is a friend from college that I played with in jazz band, wind symphony, jazz combo and sax quartet, so he is going to play tenor and bari sax in our band. Hopefully soon I'll have some good news about an upcoming gig!
After the awesome (well, sort of awesome, kind of depressing that our pass D sucks that much) win over the Lions (DAAAA BEARS!), Ben and I went to see Zombieland. It was pretty darn good! Pretty gory in the beginning, but it tamed down (a bit) and was very funny, thanks mostly to Woody Harrelson and an incredible cameo appearance from.......just kidding, I wouldn't spoil that. Go check it out if you are in the mood for some good ol' fashion zombie-killin' fun!
I hope everyone is doing well....I'll talk to you again soon!
