Many of my goals for 2010 were met including the purchase of our first home. Although we're bummed that we won't be physically moving in until February or March, we are thrilled beyond words that we got a house that's perfect for us in our favorite neighborhood here in Mission Viejo. We decided to have our kitchen remodeled which we weren't planning on doing originally. I went in to strip and resurface the kitchen cabinets and realized that they were beyond repair and not designed well. Once the kitchen is complete, all the major jobs for the new house will be complete. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on when I'm moving the teaching studio to the new house!
January means NAMM! I'll be attending on Friday the 14th as that's the only day I can attend. I have a gig that night but plan on spending the day there with some of my great musician friends from near and far. I'm also excited to see my drum company contacts I only get to see once a year.
Party Jones is already booking up for 2011! In addition to our standard 2 gigs a month at Taco Surf and usual corporate and casual fare, we will be playing some new venues as well including La Palapa in Long Beach and The Salty Dog in Huntington Beach. I'd like to thank all the great fans that continue to come out, dance and support us. Without you guys, we would be playing in our garage!
I'd like to wish everyone health and happiness for 2011!
