Hey everybody.... remember me? Rick Hopkins... that guy who use to play music and write stuff. No? Don't remember? How about this... "Lift Up Your Eyes O Israel"... remember? No. Got nothing? Ok, well anyway, I have a few quick updates for you.
First off, I played in the Big Ticket Tour battle of the bands in Grand Rapids, MI on Feb 28. The band and I rocked it out and got into the top 3 bands which basically earned us a spot to play at the Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord, MI on June 18, 19, & 20. I am not sure which day we'll play just yet, but I'll keep you posted. If you want to get tickets to the festival check out their website at http://www.bigticketfestival.com/.
Secondly, on May 16, 2009 I am opening for Warren Barfield at Arcadia Creek Festival Place in Kalamazoo. This should be a pretty good show and I am very excited for it. Check out the shows link for more information. If you have never heard of Warren Barfield, he sings the song "Love Is Not A Fight" which was on the soundtrack of the movie "Fireproof" which came out recently.
Thirdly, I am now working with the company Dreamlight Entertainment. Dreamlight was started by George Moss, a WayFM dj and local artist himself. They will be handling booking shows and all sorts of other functions for me, which is awesome because I honestly don't know what I am doing myself. Their help is very welcome. To contact them for booking or whatever else get ahold of Greg Rios at greg@dreamlightent.com .
Finally, I really hope to get to work on writing some new stuff soon, but the inspiration isn't coming as fast as I would like. I have been super busy with family, work, and P90X lately. For questions about what P90X is... just imagine the most intense workout you have ever done, then multiply it by impossibility to the power of infinity. Its that difficult of a workout. I am in the 4th week. Only about 66 more days to go. Ugh. Hopefully it will be worth it when I am done. I'll post the before and after pictures if they are worth looking at, and they don't make you feel weird. Also I hope to get back into blogging some real soon. It's been a long time and I need the therapy of getting some stuff off my chest. Look for that soon.
Ok, talk to you all later. Contact me with anything you have for me. Later.
