Passports and Concerts

I checked my bank account when I woke up today and my tax return has come in! Time to pay some bills. Also time to go get my passport. I will probably go to D.C. during the week to the passport office, let them know I am applying for a Visa and that I need my passport as soon as possible.

My band Kodiak has a show on Saturday, and again next Friday. I am trying to be as enthusiastic as I can be. But in light of everything that I have been thinking about and planning, its difficult. I really love that band. I love playing shows and I love my friends, but I don't have the same drive that I did before. I suppose it started when they took my Internet access away from me at work, I was using my free time at work to contact booking companies for our tour in May. As of today we only have three of those dates booked. I would say that its up to the rest of my band to try to book the rest of the dates. No one else seems to have the drive ether. It shouldn't be my full responsibility anyway, I would think they would have the same drive as me to book these dates. We will see I guess.

Ether way. Kodiak would be my only reason for staying here longer than August. If something happens and I find that the band is getting somewhere and we are making progress beyond what we have ever done, then I would be glad to stay in the U.S. a bit longer. Its hard to write songs these days, its really hard to get shows, and I personally think the hardest thing out of everything is keeping people interested. Refer to my previous post about people who claim to "love" music around here. That might explain it.
