Yes! Exciting stuff like the fact that I got to meet the guys from 12 Stones yesterday. If you haven’t heard of them, do yourself the favor, like now. I’m sure you’ve most likely heard the Evanescence song “Bring Me to Life” right? Well the male vocalist in that song is none other than Paul McCoy, lead singer of 12 Stones.
12 Stones is currently featured on the World Strongest Man Soundtrack. Their album Anthem for the Underdog is awesome. As a matter of fact I’m listening to it right now. =)
You can watch the video to their single “Lie To Me” by clicking on the banner (designed by yours truly) below.
Additionally People in Planes is currently promoting “Pretty Buildings” off their new album. They are offering a free download to current e-news subscribers and for new subscribers as well. This song has been stuck in my head for the last week. I love it! (The following banner was also designed by me.)
Lastly, on the personal home front, John is flying in tomorrow from FL. God, I can’t wait to see him. It’s only been a little over a month since he was last here but it feels more like forever. I got him a cool little geeky gift for Valentine’s Day. I hope he likes it. Lol I’ll tell you guys what it is after I give it to him so I don’t accidentally spoil the surprise. I love you babe! =)
Plans for John’s visit are of the ‘not so fun’ kind. He’s once again helping me clean out my apartment. This time the ‘quartico’, the kitchen, and the dining room are getting done. Please note I said “cleaning out”, as in packing and storing and giving away to the salvation army. I am not flying my boyfriend in all the way from FL just to “clean”, lol. My godfather collected an insane amount of junk in his old age. It would take me forever to go through it alone. I truly appreciate John’s help.
Anyway… back to work I must go. Let me know what you guys think of the bands!

So I had the total pleasure of showing up to work the other day and finding out that Finger Eleven was in the office. I must admit this info made it really hard to concentrate that day. You could tell everyone was hustling and bustling about.
Though I did get a chance to see all of them I was really only formally introduced to James Black. He was a super cool dude and the pleasure was all mine. I really wish I could have gotten a snap shot with him but I guess I had to keep my excitement down to a much lower decibel.
Anyway, if you have no idea who they are you should definitely check them out.
