Hellz yeah!

So I've fallen off the face of the blog-earth. But with reason.

A Different Spin had an INSANE month of April (and a rocking weekend in May, too) as we traveled all around the Northeast + Georgia to kick some ass with our fire show and circus show. Check out this list of schools that saw us:

-Georgia Perimeter College
-Rhode Island College
-Mansfield University
-New York Institute of Technology
-Susquehanna University
-SUNY Delhi
-University of Delhi

Throw in a fun firejam at MassArt for Iron Pour and we had quite the time :)

But that wasn't all that kept us super busy. Remember, dear reader, all of those 'just missed' opportunities to be on America's Got Talent? Well we are flying in less to LA in less than 12 hours to go rock it hardcore. Our act is 100% bitchin'----so much so the 'g' in 'bitching' had to flee in terror---so there is no way we won't make it to round 2 and beyond. There's a possible showdown with Michael and Joanna (local Boston firespinners and friends of ours) in the offing which is a shame as they are fantastic...but we are gonna bring the energy like nobody's business. As exhausted as I am from traveling, rehearsing and apartment hunting (that is an ENTIRE blogpost in itself...5 Bedrooms to 6 to 7 back to 5) I am so ready to have an absolute blast on Wednesday. Those judges really have no idea what they are gonna see. Plus that theater is gonna go nuts when we are done with our act. We have to leave the house at 5am and I'm not sure I can sleep or eat before then, I am so freakin pumped!

My good friend Scott is gonna join my cousin Adam and a few other friends (including the amazing Mitch who we met at APCA and is a potential business-contact for the future---manager? agent? who knows. He's great) in LA to see us rock the house which will be sweeeeeeeet.

Only negative is that Tracy and I tried the relationship thing and I found I'm way too crazed right now to handle that. On the plus side, she is totally awesome and is cool still hanging out and such. Yay for reasonable, amazing individuals! Oh wait, crap, I lied...the other negative in my life is that my health insurance ran out and I was a dumbass who forgot to get on the cheap Massachusetts health insurance before my medication needed to be refilled. I'll be on the hook for $531 if I can't sort it out WHILE IN LA. Sigh...

Next post is gonna be about how much fun we had in LA. As a heads-up, we won't be able to talk about whether or not we moved onto the next round due to the fact the show is supposed to be surprising and all. But I really don't see any way we can fail. We are just too badass.
