| 2:04 am | stars were awesome as always the organ are the most dull live band since I don't know when. I had not seen the wooden stars play in almost eight years, I felt like I was dating myself. montag was not for me. I now have a laptop at work and a snazzy new e-mail, that I am not sure is set up or not. However, eric.warner@v2music.com I go to concerts everyday and lack sleep inbetween. |

| 9:54 pm | of montreal my Of Montreal show is sold out, with extremely limited tickets at the door, if any. This is a good sign to me as it is the over the top fest pre-party. It also sucks, as this show could get another two hundred people out. |

| 1:45 am | thank you again and again I just wanted to thank everyone and anyone who has supported my pursuits of music over the years, especially with my festival as of late, it really means the world. I know I tell people this kind of stuff all the time, but it really does mean a lot. I use livejournal to write about random occurances and to keep linked to friends who have moved all over for school or whatnot, and again, even when people are far away, the support is really meaningful. the over the top festival is in just about three weeks, and I think this will be the year that breaks it to the next level. I am in the process of organizing everything that could be possibly need it. If you want to help run shows and handle things and have helped me before, as a lot is going on, let me know. For those of you who already talked to me, thanks again. tonight josh and I saw brendan benson, who was really good. A band called The Stands opened, who were from England and although were pretty good, it was nothing new. It was nice running into random people though and only good things came of the evening. goodnight. |

| 12:44 am | hung out with dogs die in fast cars tonight before/after their show at the opera house. went out for an amazing dinner with them, but with shitty service that ruined that. lots of alcohol consumed, I had gingerale. ran into many friends at the show, both old and new, which was awesome. you'll be able to buy busy bodies releases in stores really soon, now that I am in toronto, I am finishing up my distribution deal. I opened a new business bank account today. two exams that I am not ready for are today, here's to hoping. if anyone is going to: brendan benson, sylvie (new despistado band), exclaim party, sour keys/silent film soundtrack, shins or moby, we should hang out. sunday = final essay/project to write + cooking. sorry josh levitt for not making it to york, show ran late. of montreal is probably going to sell out in the next few days, so buy tickets or scramble at the door to get one of very few. |

| 12:46 pm | OVER THE TOP FEST || 2005 the festival site is now up at www.overthetopfest.com - the only thing that needs to be added is individual bios/photos/web links for each artist, which I am compiling still. Rough set times will also be posted in the coming days. I really am liking dogs die in hot cars. this friday = phoenix, dogs die in hot cars + some other band. ALSO, for anyone who likes the chinkees, bruce lee band, skakin' pickle and other fun bands that mike park, who founded asian man records is and was a part of, he's playing in my basement in early july. |

| 1:59 pm | over the top is adding three more shows, which will be intimate (50 capacity) and sell fast I think. for once, the festival is within a radius I could bike if I wanted. those shows will be posted later today hopefully. I bought the new muffs record, I like it. all my shows are selling really consistently, highlights include blood brothers, of montreal and the books. I think this is the year, the defining year. hard work. if all goes well, my new band will be able to start playing in five-six months. first song has been written, more to come. |
