The Academy EP Complete! =D Hey guys, just in case you were wondering, I finally got everything done today. Oddly enough, it's my birthday today too haha. =) It doesn't look perfect obviously but it's pretty cool still :D And a big thanks goes out to therese who sent me the scans to make this as well as everyone else who supported the idea.
Update: Gave it to her today, she was speechless :D
Videos from Saturday I'm slowly posting my videos from the "Ask Mat" session with Mat Devine and William, and also the acoustic show at Reggie's that night. I'll link three of them below, but you can find all of them here: http://www.youtube.com/sisterheresy
Heartbeats cover from the acoustic show
( Read more... ) I'll get the photos posted eventually, but I was concentrating on videos first.
for question 12 - "Give the full name of the label that published The Academy EP" I was too vague. I want to know what the initials in the label name stand for. for example, if the answer were "ABC records by Awesome Music Dude" what does the "ABC" part stand for? thanks :)
aaannnnddd for 19 - "Bill has a tendency to take pictures of himself in airports. What is he usually photographed with?" I meant what object, not what type of device/camera.
I have an extra ticket for the acoustic show at Reggie's tomorrow which I'd like to either sell ($15), or give away (for free) to someone who could help me line-sit tomorrow. I have the Kill Hannah weekend pkg so will be going to the Q&A and I'd love for my space to still be there when I got back... I'll be in line early but would probably need to cab up to A&K around 11:30ish. Obviously this wouldn't work for anyone who is either hanging w/Sisky at Metro or hanging at A&K in hopes William can get a few extra folks in.
In other news, I was thinking of foregoing the glowsticks for once, since they seem not terribly appropriate to an acoustic show at Reggie's. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.
& finally - yes, I go to shows at Reggie's all the time and it sounds like other people don't, so feel free to ask questions if you need to. I'll be in line for hours at Reggie's today for Day 1 of New Heart, so unless my fingers freeze off, I should have plenty of time for replies.
I can't believe it's time for the 3rd annual (and possibly final?) TAI LJ Christmas Contest! where did time go so fast? this year I came up with a trivia quiz. it's not terribly difficult but you might have to do a slight bit of research. you can help each other out but please don't post here to cheat and get answers. since the 5 year anniversary is coming up I decided to up the ante a bit... the winner gets these:
the traditional prize and the not-so-traditional prize
that's right. both. have I got your attention now? :)
answer all the following questions and send your answers to lovefiercely@gmail.com no later than midnight MST Dec 24th (ie - the night Santa travels.) entries with all correct answers will be numbered in the order they are received and the winner drawn at random on Christmas Day.
2nd & 3rd place can have their choice of a 2007 "Santi" promo poster or a 7" Checkmarks vinyl. So get to it, it's like homework.... but hopefully more fun.
I wanted to send this note out to all of you before the rest of the world so here it is:
On behalf of my band, I am excited to announce that we will be playing a SPECIAL SHOW at the Metro on February 6th* to celebrate the FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ALMOST HERE'S RELEASE!!!
Almost Here has always been a reminder of where we come from, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate with all of you at our favorite venue in the world.
Pre-sale tickets will be available exclusively for you this Thursday the 17th and will come with some extra special goodies.
It's Adam T. Siska, sending some love from The Windy City, where it is currently 3 degrees outside!
I wanted to inform all of you that, just for fun, we have switched up our MySpace Playlist, giving you a chance to hear a variety of our material for free.
The play list now features a few of our favorite songs throughout the years, some of which you may not be too familiar with.
Give them a listen!
Enjoy and enjoy your Holiday Season! You will be hearing more from me very soon!
Love, Adam Xoxo
