I've been busy doing CV stuff.

Carcerys Vale just keeps progressing, and moving forward. Such good stuff. Austen is such a determined, hardworking dude and we're just so proud of him. He is such a driving force behind this band, and all that happens with it. (Secretly, we think this has a little bit to do with us. *wink wink*) But it is so rewarding to see him actually implementing and following through with things we've been preaching and instilling for years. (Yes, he has been listening!!)

Apparently, he came up with the idea to approach family and friends for their support of their upcoming mega-huge show, Battle of the Bands! This is actually the second time he's done this. The first time, he just asked grandparents and they all willingly helped out! Hey, you never know if you don't ask, right? This time, he sent out the request to grandparents, aunts and uncles. What a little salesman!

He has had a tremendous response! He (we) are truly humbled by the outpouring of support for the band, and especially for Austen. We are so lucky to have family that cares. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your generous hearts!

In other CV news, I've been busy coming up with some t-shirt designs. This is my first attempt, and the band just loved it! Phew. That's good news, huh? It's always a little nerve-wracking and even embarrassing to put something out there, and wonder "gee, will this even be cool to them?" Apparently, it passed the cool factor, and I, of course, am thrilled. Our first go around, we will be printing on white t-shirts (they are the least expensive). Eventually, we would like to do black. I'm also working on some other designs, and will post those as they are finished. If you're wondering, the quote used is from their song lyrics. Please tell us what you think.
