Hi! I just played a record release show!

on 1/31/2010, two very important things happen. 1) It is the anniversary when the mooninites invaded boston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare) 2) It is Force Fed Les CD release party!

The night started a wee rough when Moe Pope unfortunately had to withdraw due to a lack of a DJ, so it became a big rock show with metal bands and hardcore bands. The show originally scheduled to start at 7pm with prompt stage at 7:15 is now pushed to 8:30....so lots o time to hit the bar and hang out.

8:30 rolls around and my frined Josh's band, Hope Before The Fall hits the stage (they are in the process of recording a record and you should keep an eye out! http://www.myspace.com/hopebeforethefall) They are great and are followed by mu homie Chris' band Acaro (http://www.myspace.com/acaromusic) and as always they are awesome.

Now its our turn! we walk to ATHF theme as it is fitting for the mooninite invasion while Nate introduced us in the process. We rock out for our set and now its COA to take the stage (http://www.myspace.com/coacentral) predictably, they crush it!

Overall the show was amazing, a packed club with a bunch of friends, couldn't have asked for a better release party. Thanks to everyone for making this possible!

Pics are up on both my persnoal FB page as well as the FFL myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/forcefedliesrock) Check'em out! They are brilliant! taken by my friend Brandon Schory and you should check out his other work too!

Designing stuff

So I have been busy with work and designing things, things like T shirts and banners and such for FFL. If you get a chance to, check our http://www.myspace.com/forcefedliesrock as I have posted a few posters, etc. Speaking of posters, coming up Jan 31 is the FFL CD release show at Church. The date is super important you see, it is the three year anniversary of when the Mooninites invaded Boston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare) So come check out the show and celebrate our survival of alien invasion!

Yay, new merch arrived for FFL!

Just got in shirts and stickers which we will have for sale at the next show, all very exciting, I will snap pics of it all and post very soon.

USPS not accountable for delivering mail

Yeah that's right USPS, suck on that title. I recently ordered something which was not delivered to me, only an empty envelope with a stamp from the USPS admitting to losing just the item inside of the envelope, which needless to say; is a little suspicious. I called the USPS to resolve this and according to them if its lost or stolen and there is not insurance on it, its too bad....wtf.

So I emailed various news media with this story and here is the email;

It turns out that is a package is not insured that if an item is lost
or stolen, there are absolutely zero accountability for the lost or
stolen package. I received an empty envelope in the mail with a stamp
from USPS that reads; "Received Without Contents At GMF, Boston, MA
02205". I called USPS to see what can be done and they told me that
even though it is obvious that the item was stolen or lost during
transit within the mail system, the USPS will absolutely not do
anything regarding retrieval or compensation. This means that unless
insurance is purchased, there are no guarantee that the contents of
the package will even leave where you dropped it off. With holidays
around the corner during these hard economic times, I do not see this
getting better but clearly turning for the worse as there are no
measures in place to stop someone from stealing an item during transit
or caring enough for a package that it will be delivered at all.

use UPS, FEDEX, anyone but USPS as they are not held accountable to do their job

thanks for hearing out my thoughts
