Donoma: Blog

IIIIIIIIIIITTTTT"S Blog Time! It's been a while huh? So...Donoma had an awesome three days of shows last weekend! Swing State Thursday, The Gallery Cabaret Friday, The Brat Stop Saturday...woo hoo! Our semi-mini tour. No...not really. But I had a lot of fun doin' what I love to do for three days straight!
    I've really been tryin' to draw portfolio lately. I just can't seem to grasp it :( I guess I'll just have to keep trying. Practice makes perfect right?
    I'm just about to watch our friends Richard Cranium do their interview on J Street Radio. Excite!
    And how about the weather?!!!! YAY!!! Spring is coming. Survived another winter! Although I must say that this winter was not so bad...at least compared to the last one. I got bit by my first mosquito and pathetic enough I'm thrilled! Haha. I'm not a winter person. And I went for a hike with my friends in the woods...climbed a tree, jumped over streams, and pulled a tick out of my dog. [...]

Hey! Long time no bloggin' to ya!Latest update: Minimal talking for a whole THREE WEEKS!!!!It's day number two, and i am drastically failing. I need lessons on how to shut up! I think they usually teach you that in school...I must have not been paying attention.So I guess the deal is when I got sick over X-mas time for that two weeks and severely lost my voice and had the worst throat pain of my life and I have never recovered. But that makes sense because we were playing shows every week regardless. Stupid. So my doctor put me on antibiotics and told me try to not talk for three weeks and no playing shows. Only thing is we have one set up at the Burgundy Room this Saturday!!! EEEK!  We're still going on with the show though. I just have to behave myself :)And I also learned yesterday, the raw truth about not having insurance. The doctor visit alone was $100, then there's the lab they have to run to test for strep, and the pills. What if this was a much worse condition? It's ridiculous! [...]

Had a great time last night at a friends house watching SLC Punks drinkin' beer and doin' tattoos.  (Or watching them get done :) I didn't go to sleep untill 9 this morning.  But last night really inspired me.  It reminded me that eventually we all grow up. : OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (But i wont bore you with that right now)
wow...I'm a little distracted because I can't stop danceing to these great songs that just keep popping up like (Super Freak) "she's a super freak, super freak" and Play that funky music white boy.  Any ways.  I'm going to be getting my very first tattoo done soon!!!  And I'm extremely exited about it because it's going to look that amazing!  What else...what else... I'm convinced that we're finally going to finish this album by February!!!  We've been working on our organizational skills and they're starting to pay off I think :) Go Donoma!
Well, we have a show at Hattrix on the 22nd...hope to see people there.  [...]

I had a very beautiful Christmas. I love getting together with all my friends and family.  Even though I was really sickly the whole time, thank you everyone for making my Holiday a wonderful one!  (Cheese Cheese Cheese, Yadah Yadah Yadah...but sincerely)  I Love You All!  Thanks.  
Feel free to tell me about your Christmas.  I'd love to hear it.

Hello Blog readers.  It's been a while huh?  The last time I wrote I was in a glass case of emotion a month ago.  Today...I'm in a glass case of REALLY EXCITED THAT LAST NIGHT WENT SO WELL!  I believe we have played our biggest show yet!  We took a trip to Madison to play on Red Dragon T.V. where you play in a room in front of a camera, live on the web, for hundreds of people.  We eventually had over 600 viewers , probably 2 or more to a computer...you add that up and that's a lot of people!  Of course, for Donoma, nothing turns out to be a simple 2 hour drive to go play a show.
So the plan was, take the hundreds of flyers that we have, leave at 10 to get up there by noon, go to the campus and such handing out flyers, then play a small acoustic set to encourage people to come or watch on the internet, grab some lunch and get to the place at 4:30 for set up time to be on air by 7.  Reasonable plan.  We're Donoma, so of course we're running at [...]
