Ok, you Schmoejoes promised me video, you promised me rough mixes, you promised we'd be together forever...
So, I dropped the ball, and haven't put anything new up here for awhile. Sue me. I'm writing songs, and grilling out. It's summer here in Minnesota, and I have two months to enjoy it.

In other 'real' news, The Schmoejoes are playing August 26th at Mankato, MN's Old Town Summerfest. Two times. From what I've seen and heard of the other bands, we'll be the only pop band there. Sweet. Make sure you email the Summerfest guys, and let them know it's "The Schmoejoes", not 'schmojoes', 'shmoejoes', 'smorejoes', 'Joe Schmoe', 'hobojoes', 'blowjoes' (ha! I'll be hearing that one), or 'schmoe joes'. It's "The" capitalized, followed by a space, followed by "Schmoejoes", and looks like this when you're done.

The Schmoejoes

Big thanks to Mike Gimmer of Showscape Promotions, who's booked us for this show, and the last one, and several others. 'The last one'? July 14th at the Midtown Tavern. Yes, I didn't post it. No, you weren't out of bed yet. I'll be better, I prom... I'll be better about it.

So where are these rough mixes - what happened to recording? It's still happening, though at a glacial pace. I count all this time as preproduction (definition for moms: Preproduction - knowing your stuff, so when you record you're not wasting time, money, beer, and each other. Scratch beer, I meant celery sticks and water). So for all 5 of you clamoring for a release, you'll just have to wait.

Lastly, this blog thing on here bites. I made it, so I'm redoing it. If you realllllly need to read words of wisdom from me, check the MySpace blog. It's eaiser to read, post to, and navigate. That's saying something, as myspace is where design goes to die. I may just post shows here, and let you read my rantings elsewhere. Of course, if you worked for the NSA, you'd already know this.
