While some got crippled, the rest gained apathy:

I realize that it's been quite some time since I have posted anything, so for anyone that actually reads this, I apologize. So what's been going on?

Well in Minuet news, Josh, our beloved drummer, has (kind of) quit the band. He said that it was because nothing was happening and because we haden't toured or anything, but I don't really think that's the whole reason. The reason that I said "kind of" is because he is still willing to play shows, and still comes to practice...sometimes. Either way, we are in this pickle where we don't know what to do as a band. I said that we aren't breaking up until more of the CD's are sold. I have a case and a half at my house sitting in my dining room collecting dust.

In positive Minuet news, we just finished our acoustic song for a 7" that is being released on All Things Ordinary. I can't wait to hear what everyone else has done. We did the song Heather Graham, so learn the original and then get blown away by the acoustic version. I actully played guitar the whole time, and I think that it came out mighty-nice.

We have one final sweet show coming up, and a possible radio spot that will be broadcastd live on the internet so I will keep you informed on that. The show that I hope you come to is:

February 9th
@ Broadway Joes
w/ Cru Jones (sweet dudes)
Minuet
+ TBA

I am slowing down on all my collecting business. I am looking to buy a new car and have to save as much mony as possible. In the meantime, anyone who wants to buy my sweet '99 Honda Civic DX hatchback is more than welcome to do so.

Work has been really slow. It's this whole area. Buffalo is filled with wimps that fully depend on the weather to shop. "Oh, it's too cold to shop." The weather channel scares people away all th tim by predicting thes huge snowstorms and then everyone stays in their house and doesn't come out. EBay isn't much better. I'm keeping all this stuff up there and nothing is getting anything worthwile as a bid. I think that we need to experiement with other products, but when it's slow on eBay, I get really bored and irritated by the same reiculous questions about products.

In a topic completly unrelated to everything else that I have mentioned, I would like to get into microcontroller programming. They offer a few classes here at school, but there are about a thousand prerequisites for it. I will probably just teach myself. They also sell kits online that I will most likely purchase and upgrade to do things that they weren't supposed to do. Someone leave me some love.

You WILL buy a Minuet CD.
