Jun. 19th, 2005 @ 11:48 pm recording finished...sort of
Okay here's the deal. We're finished with the recording part of the full-length. All that's left is the mixing/mastering, process. Hopefully, we will have a semi-final copy ready for taking to Cornerstone. However, we will not have time to get it mastered before then, so the copy that we will consider our final copy and have a release show for will not be ready for about a month. If you want a semi-final copy, you have to come to Cornerstone. We're taking 100 of them with us and coming back with none.
We're currently in the process of getting buttons made.
That's it for now...check out our myspace area for show updates!

www.myspace.com/offeringbyfire

June 11: We are no longer able to play at the Cole Porter Festival in Peru

June 15: C.W. Mount Community Center in Tipton

June 17: Tha Roots in Kokomo

June 18: DK's in Kokomo and The Fireshaq in Greentown

Thanks to everyone who came out the house and recorded gang vocals with us Saturday night. The tracks turned out fantastically. Thanks also to Joel, who tirelessly makes us sound way better than we actually are. We have a few more vocal tracks to record and a pair of guitar tracks that could use cleaning-up.

Thanks to everyone who comes out to our shows and hangs out with us. We have been getting really good reactions and it's really encouraging to have friends like you guys! We're doing some more recording this weekend on Saturday and Sunday so, hopefully *crosses fingers, we'll finish things up this weekend and the rest is in Joel's soft, yet firm hands. Thanks again for being such cool people!

May. 26th, 2005 @ 08:39 pm A super lame copy/paste update.
The only things different about this post from the last one is this introduction, the lack of information for the Wednesday show that we already played, which turned out okay...considering...and there's an address for the skatepark we're playing in Muncie on Friday! So, check it out and come to the shows!

Friday, May 27th @ Life Skatepark in Muncie
2200 N. Walnut
Muncie, IN 47303
$4.00 admission
Music starts at 7:00 pm
with A Poetic Nothing
Paradox
St. Nowhere
We're not sure if you'll be allowed to skate or bike while we're playing, but you can call the park at this number to ask. (765)287.7777


ALSO ON FRIDAY THE 27th @ Westfield Friends Church
324 S. Union St.
Westfield, IN 46074
$1.00 admission
Music starts at 7:00 pm
with Wait til Wednesday
Two Birds Kill One Stone
Farewell Avery
Andrew Can't Skate (final show for ACS)

If you want to come to both shows on friday, then go to Muncie first. We'll play there at around 7:15 until around 8:00 then we'll head on over to Westfield and play whenever we get there I guess. I think we're second to last in that line-up. Also, look for some killer shows coming up in June. We have a couple of double booked dates there too. Thanks again for reading the journal. Spread the word!

May. 19th, 2005 @ 08:22 pm A Show At Clinton Central High School
Current Music: The new Haste The Day song!
This Saturday, the 21st. Sounds fun right!? It sure does, and we're going to have the info up here as soon as I can beat it out of Adam's skull. So, be patient little ones, patience is a virtue. Also, recording is going well. We will soon get back on track and finish up the bass guitar and the vocals. Once again...patience. Not that you're ACTUALLY waiting for it to come out, but this is OUR journal and we can make it seem like we're a band in demand if we want to. Also, we apparently have a myspace account now that I haven't even bothered to look at. so, I'm going to go check that out right now, and you should too! I don't even know how to check it out...a little help?

May. 16th, 2005 @ 02:16 am Hartford City show
We had a TON of fun in Hartford City Sunday night. A Poetic Nothing are such good guys and an awesome band with a great purpose. We'll definitely be having more shows with them this summer. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show. The crowd was great! Lots of dancing and tons of fun. We'll be back in Hartford City for sure! Thanks again for making it fun!

9:00 pm: Begin recording again until we all fall asleep or die.

SATURDAY, May 14th

NOON: Wake up and begin the recording process again.

With: Far Be It From Me
and, apparently, some other bands

2:00 am (approx.): Arrive home from the show and pass out on my dirty floor.

SUNDAY, May 15th

NOON: Wake up and begin the recording process again, hopefully finishing everything before the show.

303 N. Walnut St.
Hartford City, IN 47348
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
with A Poetic Nothing (yep...just two bands at this show)

MIDNIGHT: Arrive home from the show and possibly finish up some last minute recording tasks.

In Him,

May. 11th, 2005 @ 02:49 am Two shows this weekend
Current Music: regrettably; Fall Out Boy on Conan O'Brien
Hey everyone, sorry about Adam's crappy post below. If you tried to use mapquest with the incomplete address Adam posted, then you probably had the same problem I did and were not very happy with the results. I'll do my best to get an ACCURATE address and a venue name (unless it's just someone's house) as soon as I can so you can ACTUALLY use mapquest and get to the show. You see, I don't think Adam ever intended for anyone to get to the show in the first place, and that's why he posted it the way he did. So if you come to the show, beat the crap out of him and all will be right with the world. Meanwhile, check out the info for our show on Sunday!

Sunday, May 15th
Trinity United Methodist Church
303 N. Walnut St.
Hartford City, IN 47348
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
with A Poetic Nothing (yep...just two bands at this show)
FREE admission
Food and drinks will be available for purchase

See? That's how you post a show! If there are any questions about either show, please e-mail us at offeringbyfire@hotmail.com and we'll get back with you. Also, I was just kidding...don't beat Adam up. He meant well. Much love to Chaz.

go to our purevolume site!
