    Hey everyone! Sorry about getting to this so late but I’ve been busy busting my ass the past couple days and everything is just now settling down for the night. Here’s some updates.


    * As you saw on my twitter I gave you guys a hint about what I’ve been counting down to. YES, I will be doing a cross country road trip VERY SOON! More details about that will come later but it’s because of THIS that I won’t be heading to EVO. I have a very important tournament that will be happening at the same time as EVO and I’ve given that priority especially since I haven’t played SF4 or SSF4 since I got hired to do PR/Marketing work for Neverdie.


    * I’ve been in talks with a couple different companies the past couple weeks and two companies just finalized everything with me yesterday and today. I now have 2 new sponsors! Sponsor #1 is the oh so yummy Gamer Grub! I’m told I have some PB & J packets being sent my way as of today and I’m excited to work with them! And yes… I WILL share my Gamer Grub with you. ^_^ Sponsor #2 is American Guru clothing so expect to see me sporting their gear at events in the future. One of the things I love about American Guru is they’ve been super supportive of the “up and coming” gamer offering to help out with a program. With their program gamers that help sell American Guru shirts can earn money that will go toward travel expenses for tournaments. It’s things like this that make me give American Guru clothing the up most respect and I’m honored to be working with them. An added bonus to working with American Guru… well they’re giving me my own line of shirts! I’ll be working with Bruce and his design team to come up with some kick ass gamer shirts with my own little dash of style so stay tuned to see what we come up with! I’ll also be shooting an endorsement video for them and for another sponsor very soon along with a photo shoot so you should see those up sometime in the next month or so if all goes according to plan.


    * FiXT music is launching their magazine in the next month and I’ll be one of the featured interviews in their very first issue! For those wondering why a record label would be interviewing a video game player, it’s because of what I do outside of gaming. I have been doing a lot of work in the music industry for over 7 years now and FiXT is one of the 3 record labels that I do work for. Don’t expect this interview to be the typical “when did you get started with gaming, etc etc” interview because this IS NOT one of those kind of interviews. As I said… there’s a lot of work that I do aside from gaming that you guys don’t know about, but soon all of this will come to light… when the time is right. ^_^

    * Last night my band PWN Stars won 1st place in the Rock Band 2 tournament. I was pretty excited because even though the vocalist I was supposed to have (Faye) was unable to show up, I did get 2 really great teammates that I’m actually going to compete in one more tournament with! Last night’s line up was me on Guitar, Sam aka Sammer_i on Bass, Brian aka Brubinow (from GYT) on Drums, and Flitz (formerly of G4) on Vox. We scored 1.4 million round 1, 1.6 million round 2 and 1.6 million round 3 in a score based competition setting the new record for high score at that venue. Unfortunately due to internet issues we were unable to pick from any DLC songs so we did the best that we could with the normal RB2 setlist. After competing together we decided to team up for the larger Rock Band tournament for $10,000. This Rock Band 2 tournament is a bit different however as the tournament rules state that only the band with the highest score from each specified venue gets to move on to the grand finals and at grand finals it turns into a score & showmanship tournament so I’m very excited for this. I have SO much fun at showmanship tournaments! Right now the score to beat is 1.8 million and we only get one shot… so hopefully we can pull it off!

    * Some of you may have seen the tweet and some of you just may have noticed on your own but I’ve added a new gallery feature to my site. I’m attempting to add more pictures from events while keeping everything organized and this gallery makes things a million times better looking than just adding a million little thumbnails to each blog. Just wanted to thank Jamal aka Zophar321 that!

    * Speaking of Jamal… his friend Jake aka Thirstee321 is in the running to be a WCG Ultimate Gamer 2 cast member. This guy is UBER talented and one of the best well rounded gamers I’ve seen in a while. From rhythm to racing to fighting and fps, this guy rises above the rest and he definitely deserves a shot on the show. If you haven’t already voted for him please go to the official WCG Ultimate Gamer 2 website and make sure to vote for Jake! You can vote once every hour per device so bust out your iPhone and your laptop and vote every hour that you can! Also, please tell your friends to do the same. Currently Jake is leading the contest with 49% of the total votes and he only has to hold the lead until Sunday to officially make the cast. I wish you the best of luck Jake, kick some ass!

    Well that’s it for now. I’m working on adding more content to my site but I’ve been so busy with work and everything else I’ve got going on that I haven’t been able to get around to it yet. This summer I plan on having exclusive interviews with musicians and gamers as well as coverage of events and video game reviews. Give me some time… and what you get will be nothing short of awesome. ^_^ As always thanks for checking out my site and thank you for all the support. Much love to you all! <3 GAME ON!
