the night is darkest before the dawn...

someone once said, "the night is darkest before the dawn... and the dawn is coming." whoever that person was, knew a thing or two about the lord. i have been in a kickass band called what about pluto? for 2 years.

for 2 years we have been played our hearts out night after night for almost no one.
for 2 years we have prayed for one another and asked god for direction.
for 2 years we have bugged the shit out of other bands, asking for an opening slot.
for 2 years we have spent coutless hours adding people on myspace.

we have spent hours in the practice room, working on the mundane details, trying to get a perfect 30 minutes; teaching new members our songs; we have thrown our pride away and BEGGED promoters to "just give us one shot," only to get the run-around.

for 2 years we have struggled tooth and nail to stay afloat in this jungle of a music scene.

i have to be honest. in the past few weeks ive been asking god whether ot not i should leave what about pluto?, because if i want to do this full time and this shit just isnt going anywhere, whats the damn point? yesterday i got my answer when we were confirmed to play the pheonix, az vans warped tour kevin says stage on june 23rd.

we will be playing with some of our favorite bands including: anberlin, angels and airwaves, between the trees, the color fred, every time i die, family force 5, forever the sickest kids, and maylene & the sons of disaster... as well as some of the biggest bands out, such as: the all american rejects, cobra starship, gym class heroes, and the academy is...

i am losing my shit. to be honest i have no idea what to think of it. im am obviously excited and in a bit of shock. we have a lot of work to do, i know that.

peace.
