2012 Resolutions 01.01.
2011 was a whirlwind of excitement! Lots of great music, friends, trips, and laughs! You can check out the review of 2011 for more details.
2012 Resolutions
- Go on more walks, drink more tea/water
- Try to visit California, New York, or New Orleans this year…all three would be rad, but I’ll settle on one of these trips going through
- More Yoga!
- Put out a full length album
- Have at least one kick ass show in our new store
- Write at least five songs
- Adjust well to changes (mainly WRS related)
- Another label to want to put out Porcharitas (Vertical House Records obviously has dibs on the first EP but it would be exciting to be contacted by a favorite label ya?!)
- Keep up with my personal blogging (I’ve been doing this since 1999 and this past year was the first time I’ve ever missed TWO MONTHS of blogging. I need to step up! but omg tumblr is SOOOO easy!)
- Create even more hilarity with CBB/DWP
- Move past the bathroom from hell and see progress on our upstairs (plumbing, insulation, walls, floors, ceilings, doorways – lots to be done!)
- Vertical House Records to become one of the top ten stores in our region (no idea how to actually calculate this, but I think with the new space we’ll be a great contender to some of our neighboring stores in the South.)
- Go to the beach (this needs to be a “must” every year.)
2011 Resolutions (with commentary)
- Put out a 7″ of some kind…preferably with our own music (while the actual 7″ isn’t in our hands, we sent off everything for the Get Wasted with the Porcharitas EP before 2012, so that counts for something, right?!)
- Double the stats on Hi-Fi Weddings (I want 5k hits a day!) (not quite there yet…maybe this year?!)
- Expand our garden (not just the food/herb part, but also the other little areas we’ve started) (we did this, but can always have more!)
- Get back into Yoga (sadly, I neglected this too much in the year. I got a Yoga Wii “game” for Christmas, so hopefully that will help! I love doing Yoga in a studio, but I prefer to do it in my home.)
- Have a successful Bamalama 2011 (while it started out a strong idea, Zach got screwed over by some venues, and everything fell through. Maybe 2012 is the year to make it happen.)
- Upstairs electricity (OMG THIS IS AWESOME that we can cross this off! While he’s not 100% done it’s because we are waiting on a plumber to call us back and then we can proceed with the entire project. However, the electrician completed a ton so far and there’s not much left.)
- Create the Ultimate Wedding Package with White Rabbit Studios (YES THIS HAPPENED! We started offering video and DJ and they’ve received great feedback! Hopefully 2012 will be even bigger because I adore having such a rad team to work with.)
- Have at least one kick ass show in our store (crossing my fingers for Nobunny, Greg Cartwright/the Parting Gifts, Magic Kids, or someone along those lines) (Not only was it Nobunny, but the Porcharitas opened up…literally a dream come true!)
- Have an art show (this is a recent idea Steph and I had, so we’ll see if it comes to fruition!) (We did not have a collaborative art show, but Steph recently started shooting a series of how Huntsville worships…so neat!)
- Create even more hilarity with CBB/DWP (Again, at the last minute, CBB did an awesome show! It was so much fun and gave me “the bug” again – hopefully the momentum keeps up with all of us! I’m leaving this on the list for 2012!)
