Update...

At midnight last night the Tech Emergency system called and cancelled classes and said only essential personnel had to report to work. This morning when I talked to my boss I found out I didn't have to go in today. YAY! No work for me and no school for Taylor!

The rain has stopped, but I'm not sure if we are expecting anymore. We will see...

Double Yowza...

So the Lubbock Mayor just decared Lubbock in a state of emergency. We have gotten almost 8 inches of rain in less than a 24 hour period and we are expected to get at least 2 more inches through the night. Apparently, Lubbock has never received this much rain in a 24 hour period....ever! They are calling this the 100 year flood.

All Lubbock schools have cancelled classes for tomorrow. Well almost all Lubbock schools, as per usual, Tech officials are making students/faculty/employees (bleh that includes me) boat to campus tomorrow. Luckily, I only live about 4 blocks from campus so I won't have far to drive. Well, let's just say Taylor doesn't have that far to drive me! :)

Yowza....

So I've been quite the busy bee lately. Between working full time during the day, catching local bands and interviewing them, promoting the site via facebook and myspace, I haven't had much time for anything else....except Tech Football, I gotta make time for that!

Taylor and I have had a blast so far and we're nearing a month that we've been up and running. Taylor has been just as busy as I have between school, his job at O.L.L.I. and working on getting promos for giveaways for our readers. We have high hopes for the site, so hopefully we'll gain more readership and be able to reach some goals that we've set for ourselves.

So with that said, please keep me in your thoughts because at times all of this can be overwhelming. I've found myself having minor anxiety issues knowing that people are out there reading and critiquing my articles. I know it's just something I'll eventually have to get over.

One story I recently wrote is about an Austin based soul band (T-Bird and The Breaks) competing for a spot to play ACL in just a few weeks. If you haven't checked out the story, I highly advise you to check out the band and vote for them in the competition. Voting closes this Friday. The bass player (Cody) for the band is from Lubbock and also happens to be my friend Kenny's little brother. They even have a couple of videos on youtube that show a bit of their stage show. They are pretty awesome, so be sure and check them out when you have a chance, and vote, vote, vote :)
