Craig's First Official Post - Three Shows!


Hello folks,

I am super excited about this website. My last band that had an official website was Acid Trip in 10th grade. This guy I met off ICQ designed the page for us for free. It was a Geocities masterpiece. This was back in the day when you actually spoke with the random people who instant messaged you, and they became your friends. Don't we all remember the good old days? Maybe that's why I don't have friends anymore.

Back in these good old days, my uncle posed as Geddy Lee on my guestbook, and wrote that he would like Acid Trip to open for his band in Toronto. I freaked out that someone actually wanted us to perform!! but he didn't leave any contact information so I didn't know what to do. It wasn't until Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson left notes on our guestbook too that I realized I had been had. And Acid Trip never played a single concert. Though we had a great website!

Acid Trip is now defunct, but luckily my new band has both a cool website AND a concert! Three concerts in the next few weeks in fact. Hope you can make it out to one of them. As soon as I figure out how to update the "shows" page on our website I'll do that too. In the meantime check out the below for the best information.

4th Meal Productions is a non-profit theater group made up of Oberlin alumni (including my lovely girlfriend Marielle). They're putting on this fundraiser to raise money for a touring show of "From the Inside Out", which they put on at the Fringe Festival last year.
This show will also mark the debut of James’s band “21st Century Electric Peace Movement”. We hope for their own "auspicious beginning".
And there will be a screening of the season finale of the Gifted Girls web series.
