Dancing and Singing..

This week has just begun, but I figure that I need to inform you readers (if you are reading) how our concert went and the journey's that followed!
On the 20 of March, we played a show at a little coffee shop called Dancing Doggs. It was open mic night so it wasn't anything formal, but boy was there a turn out! We had so much support from those that love us and who could come! When we first started setting up for our show, we walked in and there was this gentleman sitting on the couch. He asked us if we were "Until Dawn", Brandon said yes and I turned around to see what was going on. Marv from Sunny 94.3 was sitting on this couch and all of the sudden shaking my hand and telling me what a great voice I have.  I was a little taken back! Then he continued to tell us this "In 33 years of working in radio, I have never put a local band on air. But when I heard your music I was blown away, and it is now in regular circulation!' or something of that sort. He also said that "if you keep doing what you are doing you will go far!" That seems like such a wonderful compliment! I couldn't believe it! It seems like all of those years dancing and singing to the top of my lungs, might actually be paying off!
Our set had a couple of technical difficulties, but it was so much fun! We had family there, and most of our best friends, and a lot of people we never met! It was fun to sing and have the audience clap and even SING along! If only for that moment, everything was perfect! I had the love off my life standing right there with me, and a lot of the people I love the most, watching and supporting us!
After our set, 2/3's of the crowed got up and left. My dad came up to me, hugged me and told me i really know how to clear a room, just stop entertaining them.  We took down half of our equipment and asked the Dancing Doggs Ladies if it was alright to leave the rest and come pick it up before the end of the night. They said fine, and we went and had dinner at Chuck-a-Rama with my family.
After dinner we went and took down the rest of the equipment and found that we had a Mic case/bag missing. Oh well, not a big deal, but kind of a bummer! We then headed to our home where we met Jaclyn, Ethan and their 3 beautiful girls. They brought us a pack-n-play which was so kind and thoughtful of them, because one day, sometime we probably will have a baby!
Anyways that was our wonderful Saturday! Now we are onto our new week and its going to be a good one, because we have already heard ourselves on the radio! YAY!  Anyways, thats enough excitement for now!

Music Mania

This week has been WONDERFUL!  I didn't think this week would be such a monumental week!  

After the surprise of Alice in Wonderland, we recieved an email to our Myspace music page, from this kid telling us that Sunny 94.3 wanted to play our music! He told us that we needed to call or email these two guys for more information. So we got up the nerves and called this guy named Doug. Doug told us to bring  a c.d. to the station. So we jumped into our clothes and ran over the the radio station. He took our music, complimented us, and told us that he would put it into circulation and he would email us with the times it would be playing.. AHHHAHAHAH!! That was pretty cool. So we turned our radio's to 94.3. After waiting and listening to the radio for a couple of hours we decided to get some lunch and head to the library. While in the library, Brandon receives a phone call, but misses it because it is against the rules to talk on the phone! So we ran out of there faster then fast animals. Brandon calls the radio station back and they said that they will be playing it at 3:37 p.m.! We told everyone in the eastern Idaho area that we could in time, and then we heard it! Cityscape Skyline was playing on the radio! I felt like my heart was jumping out of my throat! It was a total "That Thing You Do" moment!  After our hearts settled, and we calmed down, we ran and did some other things, while out my dear Brianne Hillman texts me and tells me that she has heard it again! So awesome. So we decided to release our EP two hours early! And Saturday the 20, we are playing a show! Thus this is the week of Music. Tune your radios to 94.3 and you might hear us!

Alice in Wonderland

My surprise this Wonderful Monday was that my husband took me to Alice in Wonderland! It was such a lovely surprise that i already new he was doing, but its the thought that counts! We watched it in 3D, and let me tell you, I kinda feel that all movies that have epic battle scenes and such should, indeed, be in 3D! I have heard people who hate the movie, and people who love it. I fall closer to LOVING it.. Such a wonderful surprise that my husband planed! Oh how i love him. Today, also, we got a call from a record label. Thats the second one who has called. Kinda crazy:) Life is good today. Like Jimmy Buffet say's "Come Monday it will be alright.." its something that i got from my dad but i kinda really am in love with Jimmy Buffet..

Unexpected Surprises!

This week seems to be full of surprises! Last saturday it was my dear ol' dad's 50th birthday! So naturally we throw him an "Over the Hill" SURPRISE birthday party! It was a good party. I made my dad a card and every time i look at it i cry.. YIKES. It was so cute at the party, my nephew Dallin sat down by my Shanae, and told me to sit next to him. So i did, because i love him and Shanae, and Tricia and Clark sat next to us. Dallin had a sesame seed on his nose and Clark was just giggling at him, then Dallin became a little more goofy and Clark LOST IT. Food flying out of that one year olds mouth, and Clark kept trying to regain his composure. Oh it was such a lovely party.  Anyways that was surprise #1.
Another surprise was that this entire week I have been hurting myself. Not intentionally but i did manage to smack my leg on a desk we bought and built and put bruises all over my leg, and I punched the wall on our way running down the outside stairs, causing my hand to be all torn up and bruised. I also cut my finger with a child safety lock that is on one of our cabinets. I am endlessly burning myself lately as well, at work, at home.. Just don't invite me over, you may have to take me to the hospital.
Surprise THREE is that our show set up for the 20th of march for "Until Dawn" fell through. Then we tried to set up another show at Dancing Dogs for that date and the D.D.'s lady told us we couldn't play that weekend because they were having a Guitar Hero competition (which would be to bad for the Dawn part of Until Dawn, because if you know me at all you know that i tear it up on that game).
When Brandon was getting ready for work, his telephone rings and its DANCING DOGS asking if we could play on the 20th. Hahaha. Sucka's. They didn't know that we had already been told no. But Brandon agreed and we are now playing at Dancing Dogs on the 20th of March... and the best part? IS THAT ITS  A FREE Show! So if you are in the Idaho Falls area around 6-ish on Saturday the 20th, come to our show.. It will be NICE!
#4 of surprises. Ever saturday i have to work 12-8 at pizza hut. I don't mind it but i absolutely don't like it either. Anyways Friday night rolls around and my boss asks me if i can come in at 11. I said yes, because what's one more hour, right? Saturday comes, i get to work at 10:55 and SURPRISE, "You came in early? Tish didn't call you? You didn't have to come in!" Nope, no call, so i worked a 9 hour shift. YAY for money anyways.
So today being all tired and stuff from work, I call Brandon after work (tis routine) and he tells me he has a surprise on Monday at 11:30 a.m. I am excited! I don't know what it is! Yay for surprises!
Anyways.. thats a lot of surprises to take in.. i will let you digest.
