"One More Thing"

Basically this comic and the last two ones are set in the same venue. Our band BOX OF BIRDS played at this new(ish) venue called The Strange near LACC. It's pretty spacious with a good sound system. However, it is implied in this comic that there is no audience. That's not completely true. There were 3 people in the audience: the sound guy, the door lady and the girlfriend.

Psh. I've played to emptier rooms...no not my bedroom.

The thing that I dislike the most about being in a band is the promoting. Well, it's not like I don't like it, I just don't have a grasp on the concept. Sure, I tell my friends and then what? Also, my friends have seen me perform the same 7 songs for the past 6 years. Why would they bother? I don't blame them.

I'm the same as everyone else.

"Hold On To That Feelin'"

We tried to catch the Purple Line two weeks ago, but it had stopped running at 11pm at night. Kind of awkward standing there waiting for a train that was never going to arrive. The worst part is that all over the subway are ads for doing stuff in Korea Town. Take the Purple Line they say. Well, please have the train run...even once an hour would've been fine. Oh well. Not that I take that Purple Line anywhere anyway. Though, Beverly Hills or Westwood would be a goods top to have.

"Don't Stop Believin'"

Why is a raven like a writing desk? Are things still there when I'm not sensing them? What about when I'm not thinking about them? Or believing in them?

Okay, so I'm late to the "make fun of the Olympics" party too.

So today is my teenage sister's birthday. Yeah and I guess she likes Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. Go figure? Happy birthday sis.

"Face Time"

So, we had band practice this weekend. Things are going great. We know 6 songs. We're ready to play the Staple's center. We're better than you.

"Final Curtain"

This is the final comic in a series from these performance photos. I adopted the concept from one of my favorite online comics Sinfest. Also, the words are from a real song that we perform. Can't say that this is the best video, but you'll get the idea.

"The Shining"

Inna can actually hit that shit really well.

"He Seems a Little Surprised"

This sort of happened. Damned improvisations can never get them right the first time around.

"Unrehearsed"

I swear, I'm not that big of a control freak.

"Mellifluous Flute"

Spit jokes! That's fresh.

"It's Show Time"

My band really played at this venue and I'm pretty sure we weren't assholes. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to be in a douche band...but not yet.

"New Band"

We did end up starting a new band. Can't say it sounds anything like that...whatever THAT is supposed to sound like.

"Dreams"

A slight variation on a conversation we actually had.
