Columbus Rocks the Cure Rock & Roll Fashion Show

Saturday, Ace of Cups held the rock/fashion show for Rocks For The Cure, an origination helping bring the end of breast cancer. The night had four bands of different styles and a collection down the runway inspired by that style. First was Kid Runner for indie pop, then The Tommyguns for rockabilly, followed by The Up All Nights for glam rock, and finally Black Eyed Betty for grand finale. I'll be honest because I think nobody really reads like blog. The music was all good and fine but I wasn't fond of the fashion. I don't like what is often seen as 'high fashion'. I think usually the outfits themselves are ugly, they don't make anything for people  who aren't tall and skinny, and off the runway who's going to wear any of this?! I understand my opion may not be the best to look at his since my wardrobe is tee shirts and jeans but I still see what's out there in magazines and tv and think, yeah that looks good on her/him but what about someone like me who's short and rounded?
Ok I'm just going to end this now before I might piss people off. Bands were great, huge turn out, heres some pics of Tommygun and Up All Nights

Tagging along with the previous post

I got in two photos for UWeekly.com from the Scarlet and Grey show Saturday

so thanks for that!

Also just because I mentioned it in the last post this is the Jon Grubbs photo I was talking about

Major Catching Up

Okay, first off, let me just that things are going on with the Live My Last guys so if there was going to be any design work with them, it not going to be any time soon. Apparently there's something going on with the lead singer and the rest of the band and there's been a break. That's literally all I know for now. And it really sucks cause I just started listening to them and got really excited to be working with them but i guess... oh well. I hope everything works out in the end.

Before I get to what I actually wanted to talk about, there's a few other things I wanted to touch on  really quickly. Ranger Danger and To Kill A Monster played at Victory's two Saturdays ago. Of course it was good. With them were two out of town bands, but neither of them caught my attention. I'm not going to have a post of the photos from that night, because I'm lazy, but they are up in the Photography tab to see. (Okay maybe I'll have a special one for the Jon pic i really liked (also I kinda ran up during Ranger Danger cover of ET and kissed Kyle (giggle)))

To Kill A Monster announced they were hitting the recording studio soon. I'm not sure if they're recording one of the three new songs or all of them but either way I'm excited. Also please help them get in Warped Tour by voting here  http://www.battleofthebands.com/u/tokillamonster

Ranger Danger was in the studio Sunday to record Tiny Spoons. I wasn't able to go so no funny pics or video this time. Can't wait to hear it? Watch the video below.

Okay, I think that's every thing I need to catch up on.

ON TO THE UP ALL NIGHTS!!!!
It's been a long time since I've seen the guys and I really missed them. I've always felt the most comfortable with them and there shows, (yes even more then Ranger Danger). I 'm sure it's because I've known them for a while but they were one of the first to lead me down the rabbit hole. They welcomed me with open arms and I'll appreciate it until the day I die. It's been fun seeing new bands and making new friends lately but it was nice to return to "home-base" for a change. I really missed having a community around the band that I knew I was a part of and seeing lots of friends I've missed. The Up All Nights were great. Sammy was sick, but I personally don't think it hurt his performance. Jon Grubbs came up and filled in for Sammy for a song. Happily one of my favorites, Ancient Empress.

Lex Vegas of Cadaver Dogs even showed up and did a little drumming at the end. All around a really good time and was definitely the fix I needed. And you guys better not make me wait so long for the next one!!
