Hey you awesome Meatbags. It started way back when I was a little guy
back in the 70s when I was introduced to KISS. Ever since then, I wanted to
have my own full concept live performance.
The trek down the road that brought us to March 18th at the
44 Sports grill and Nightlife was long and grueling.
When you have a dream, it is hard to find people dedicated enough to
help
you achieve that dream. It starts with finding people that are not
prideful self-absorbed and try to change your lifelong dream. I have those
people in this amazing family that have stood behind me and supported me every
step of the way.
Along the way more and more people were guided onto the 2 IN THE CHEST
path and I am forever grateful for all those people.
So many people believed in this dream along the way and although they
are not with us, they were all vital members to get us to where we are now.
We are not to the finish line
yet, there are still so very many steps to take before we reach the goal.
Another thing
people do not know, is that every member of 2
IN THE CHEST over the years are still very loved family members, and
each and everyone one of them for the most part left the family on good terms.
The fans of, and new fans of 2 IN THE CHEST are so very special to the
2 IN THE CHEST family. This is why we grind day after day to make the next
performance better than the last one. March 18
th sent 2 IN THE CHEST
launching foreword to the next goal.
We are a true modern day Partridge family as well as literally. It
took two
years to put together the 3
rd CD release performance.
The time I met Tim Landis, to the time he
dove in and made it his life to join the mission and bring my vision to life,
was the day my flame to reach the ultimate live show was reignited. With Tim as
my Number 1 he straightened my path to start back down the road to reaching the
finish line of the perfect audio visual performance that no one would ever
forget.
Although we have come a long way, there are still several goals that
have to be met and with my family 2 IN THE CHEST I know we will get it done.
One thing I want all you amazing people who believe in us and this
incredible family to know is; it has never been about money, although it would
be nice to achieve the national dream so many have; the payoff for all of us
are the smiles we bring to all who attend our live performances. I live in a
semi because next to caring for my kids; this band gets all my money. The show
we just performed cost us just shy of 4 thousand dollars to put together. And
we achieved the next step in the evolution of 2 IN THE CHEST.
We would like to thank everyone involved in this well-oiled machine
behind this incredible release. When you come to a show and have a smile on
your face we achieved our goal. But what many do not understand is, the years
of preparation that went into this hour and fifteen minute event.
All the amazing people behind the scenes that made this show possible.
Bryon Mogul for setting aside many hours
to make videos promoting the show, To the people that let us use the stage extensions,
to Paul Watkins for audio video giving to all the people a video visual
enhancing performance, to our wardrobe person Tonja Partridge who
Made our outfits as well as run the Merch booth, to all the people
running around during the show, TJ Boone for being my wardrobe tech and Bass Tech
For Mary Ella and guitar tech for myself, Mady Landis and Dave Bigsby for
loading and unloading the entire set staying with us for 17
hours to make this
show a success, and getting everything ready for the curtain call, To Dave
Williams for running his tail off making sure everything was on target before
show start, and making sure everything is working properly. To all those that
did their best to promote this event to give those who did attended; the best
show we have ever done to date. To Page Mills although she had to go to work
early in the morning; stayed to help us tear down and load the trailers. These
people were the true heroes. THANK YOU!!!
Now that it is all over we can
finally breathe a sigh of relief. Another thing
you do not know is that 1 hour
and 15 mins on stage started at 9am and we did not leave until 4am. None of us could
move by the end of the night, but all this work was well worth it.
Thank you to all the people that did come out to the show and shared the
dream. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!
And to The band Addict3d my awesome brothers I love you. Bryon Mogul and his awesome band. To the 44
and Nancy for allowing us to take over her venue to bring this event to the
people. THANK YOU!!!
