It is the last week of June<br \/>\nand Cornerstone 04 is rapidly approaching. Jon and Steve come into town<br \/>\nfor one week of practice before we go to c-stone and play the main<br \/>\nstage. I know that it is not going to be our greatest show but it sure<br \/>\ndoes feel great to be playing our new stuff live, and to just be<br \/>\nplaying again in general.<\/p>\n<p>So it is about 1 hour until we play<br \/>\nand I can already feel the tension rising. Standing on the stage during<br \/>\nsound check was really odd feeling. It was not at all intimate. It<br \/>\nfeels so wierd to be in this situation once again. Just to be judged on<br \/>\nevery action from how we look to what we wear all the way down to what<br \/>\nsongs we play and how we greet people. I feel like an ant with some kid<br \/>\ntrying to burn me with a magnifying glass. It&#8217;s wierd it is almost like<br \/>\na welcome challenge. I almost can&#8217;t wait to move into the next phase of<br \/>\nmy musical carreer. It almost seems that in 1 hour it will all change<br \/>\nand into the next phase we go. People will hate us and people will love<br \/>\nus. I guess such is the life! <\/p>\n<p>Though when Jason joined the<br \/>\nband we recieved so much more ridicule I guess with the growing<br \/>\npopularity of &#8220;Chris Carrabba&#8221; some kids hate him so much they felt it<br \/>\nthier duty to like us all the more. I guess the difference between then<br \/>\nand now is that Jon has nothing to prove to anyone. Some kid said<br \/>\nsomething about finding an emo singer intead of a rock singer.<br \/>It is<br \/>\nso funny how little people actually know about what they have come to<br \/>\nlove like &#8220;emo&#8221; music. Kids cry for emo siting Jon as a rock singer not<br \/>\nknowing that he helped mold the pattern for emo. It is so ironic it is<br \/>\nlaughable. Well it is time to go rock.<\/p>\n<p>Well I am glad that is<br \/>\nover. I think the show was rated about a &#8220;C&#8221;. Not good enough buy our<br \/>\nstandards but great considering the lack of practice and it being Jon&#8217;s<br \/>\nsecond show (wich shouldn&#8217;t be an excuse). I have been hearing a lot of<br \/>\nmixed reviews of everything, and like I predicted some kids hated it<br \/>\nand some loved it and admired us for it. All I can do is make music I<br \/>\nlove, and be happy doing so. We were all happy to get that out of the<br \/>\nway. I will say that I havn&#8217;t heard anything bad about the songs on the<br \/>\nsampler except for an e-mail I got, wich is funny because than the kid<br \/>\ne-mailed me back saying he was sorry and listened to the stuff more and<br \/>\nfell in love with the stuff. He then admitted to fearing change. I<br \/>\nreally commend that guy for being able to admitt to us he made a<br \/>\nmistake, what a great quality to have!<\/p>\n<p>It was great seeing so<br \/>\nmany old friends and getting thier encouagement. I look around and seen<br \/>\nfor so many years people come and go in this music scene and it is<br \/>\nalways the ones who scream the loudest fade the quickest. How I admire<br \/>\nthose people who love music so much they endure the days in the heat,<br \/>\ndust and rain just to hear some great music. The ones who don&#8217;t do it<br \/>\nfor the scene points or that don&#8217;t have shagy hair, or white belts, or<br \/>\nyears before hade bandannas and running shoes with the coolest band<br \/>\nshirt they never even heard, but the ones who always find a way to<br \/>\nenjoy. I met a lot of those people this year!<\/p>\n<p>All and all<br \/>\nC-stone was fun but I had a great time hanging out with my bandmates,<br \/>\nwhat amazing people, each one in his own special way. I can&#8217;t wait<br \/>\nuntil people finally hear this record on August 24th.<\/p>\n<p>-Chad&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>so today i got all the modules i was looking for for postnuke up and running.&nbsp; the site seems to be coming together wonderfully&#8230; and i can&#8217;t wait till elliot is able to get a template done for it \ud83d\ude42 keep checking darkestlight.org&#8230;&nbsp; things should be up and running pretty soon. on another note entirely, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/?p=291\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darkestlight.org\/xanga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
