"Labor" day

It's somewhat ironic that we celebrate Labor Day by taking a day off.  Don't get me wrong, any day away from the normal grind of everyday life is welcomed, so I am not complaining. 

This past week, we went to Washington DC and Virginia Beach and set up a booth at the Rockstar Uproar Festival.  It was truly a blast, we met some pretty amazing people and got to sell some shirts at the same time, an all around success.  Not to mention that we got to hear some amazing music while we were "working".  I use the term working very loosely.

We met a new friend, Dave, who runs a company called Heathen Productions.  He has been making his clothes and touring for a long time.  I was extremely suprised at how eager he was to offer advice to us,  I've found that most of these people at these festivals are very secretive about their methods.  I would like to say thanks to Dave and wish him luck on the rest of the tour.  If you like shirts that you can't wear to church, you should go check him  out on facebook or at www.heathenproductions.com.  We also got to meet alot of the bands.  Gabe and Zakk from Black Tide came over and talked to us for a while.  It's hard to believe these guys are so young.  Their music is great, you should go listen to it.  They will never come within 500 miles of me and not have me at their show.  I gotta watch my wife around them, she has a crush.

Gabe and Etsuko

This coming weekend we have the first of six shows we have scheduled in the downtown Raleigh Ampitheatre.  These shows are part of The Bud Light City Fest and will feature well known bands, but tickets are only five Bucks.  Sept 10th and 17th, and all four Saturdays in October, we will be set up there,  Most of my friends  have no excuse for not coming and seeing at least one of these. You can find more info at www.budlightcityfest.com.


Thank you for taking the time to come here and read this garbage, and if you are in the area, please come drink a beer with me in Raleigh.
Later guys ,
Zac
