Cobra week came and went pretty fast. It actually turned out to be Cobra Three Weeks but in actuality, for the website, it's only a week long promotion. The sole purpose of Cobra week morphed when I realized there were going to be a lot of things that I couldn't do when I was on the road with the bands. For the most part, the tour diaries fell through when my California tour dates got messed up so there weren't any real videos that would be forced to go up on the website. The guys were all really cool with seeing us every night and made sure we were having a good time and even more, they all made sure I got the photos I needed each and every night that I had a pass. Not only that but the merch guys took to us very well, as well as tour managers (not so much Mitch the TM for Metro Station). We left with an entirely new group of friends aside from just the Cobras. Some of which, I keep in contact with until this very day. It was honestly a great experience for me and something I definitely was able to jot down on my resume. My resume is filling up with all kinds of things that I've had the ability to do within the past year. And even though last year put my ego down a LOT, it definitely built up an awesome resume. I've got so many people under my belt now that I can have as references.
As far as the personal aspect of the trip. I can't repeat all that happened because what happens on the road stays on the road but I can say Stephy is pretty awesome to road with. We never fought once in the two/three weeks that we were on the road and I'm pretty sure I would have sucker punched anyone else if I had to deal with them for that long. But no, she knew how to have fun and the bands all took well to her and I accompanying them at the many many shows. We became friends with Kelly and Amanda, the two who did the entire tour and they made our nights probably the best and most memorable nights of the year. I miss those girls and can't wait to see them again.
Coming back to getting fired definitely put me into super work mode. I took my time away from employment as an opportunity to get everything on my site done. I'm almost done uploading everything that I missed last time around. Once Cobra Week is officially over (today), I will go back to uploading the previous interviews I missed out on everything. I edited all of my video interviews and such so alll I need to do is put them on the podcasts page.
I took on another webmaster job. I'm co - webbing another website for something I really really love. The cobra will be let out soon enough so just wait for it. I haven't started anything yet but the site is there and managed by a new friend of mine. I'm excited to work on it though because I know I can do great things for the website.
I also decided that I want to shoot weddings. It's going to take a while to get off the ground but it's a great way to make some extra cash and I need to put my camera to real work. Concerts, bands, promotional work that I do? It's a hobby.
Lastly... I have been debating on jailbreaking my iphone for about a week. I think I'm going to do it. I want the AIM application. I mean my iphone works with aim but it isn't installed on the phone and it frustrates me. I get kicked off a lot. Blah. Jailbreak it is!
