Memorial Day weekend. For many of us, three days off in a row is a perfect excuse to hit the road and GO somewhere. Escaping the busy complexities of life for a brief, yet needed break from the day to day insanity.
Its Hawk here, writing my first blog ever and life in my shoes really has been insane recently. I’m heading out of town to do a little camping / kiyaking trip up to the Russian River and really looking forward to just kicking it with nature and getting out of the city. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, but thats always a roll of the dice.
Luckily my insanity is not all bad, collectively my circles of people have been getting some serious sh*t done! The New Up’s Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign is chugging along on all cylinders (check it out here: http://igg.me/at/thenewup/x/3150441f ), the new album is ready to go, and we just played an incredibly cool outdoor show last weekend. Also I have to give a big shout out to Blue Bear School of Music, who just pulled off a successful annual benefit show at Bimbo’s San Francisco.
So I would like to raise a glass and toast everybody out there that are going to chill out and relax this weekend. We deserve it, we work our tails off. And of course let us remember all the fallen soldiers this Memorial Day, we wouldn’t be the same without their ultimate sacrifices. Over and out.
