Street Team Supreme

Alright, I am feeling very candid right now and I am not ashamed to say "I need your help!" I am going to be working on adding a Street Team section to my site. I'll set up missions and goals and hopefully get street team representatives from different States to help and spread the word. I sent out an email to people on my immediate newsletter list (if you are not on that list click here to get on that list! )
Anyway, I am asking people to email me with ideas for what the Street Team's name should be. The person with the best name will win a prize! A cool prize!
I am also on purevolume.com now. A friend told me about it and then I started noticing other artists that I know who are on it, so I thought what the heck? Could be another good way to get out there! Here is the link for that site: Pure Volume
All I know is that I am not going to stop until I am heard and I want everyone to know that if I get help from you, I will never forget it and I will take care of all my devoted fans! I have a memory like an elephant! Ask my fiancé, I remember EVERYTHING!!! haha!!
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
OH! Ps. If anyone is interested in keeping and updating a myspace street team page for me just email me and let me know and we can talk more about that!!

Zip your fly!!

Hi everyone!
I was in Portage, IN on Friday at an awesome coffee house called Higher Grounds Cafe. I did an acoustic show there and I had a blast! The owners are absolutely the best and the food is great. I had the California Turkey on Focaccia bread and that was seriously the best sandwich that I have ever had!!
I want to thank everyone that came out and made it a night to remember. I was a little embarrassed when after I had finished my first set I was politely told that my fly was open! ahhhh!! It was like that for the whole set! Luckily my guitar is big enough to cover me up for the most part!
I am looking forward to being back in Portage, but next time I will be careful about my zippers!
It's Sunday night and I had rehearsal tonight with my band for our June 1st show at Joe's. It's going to be a blast and I am really looking forward to it. Hope to see you out!
Pretty soon, the show that I did for Chicago Acoustic Underground will be available online. I will write with info as soon as I find out that it's live! Till next time, keep checking my youtube channel because I update with new videos often. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel while you are there! www.youtube.com/dstar781

Rein in Spain!

Hi everyone!!
I just got back from a trip to Europe, it was so beautiful! My first stop was London for an overnight stay before taking the first flight in the morning to Barcelona, Spain!
I had a great time walking along Las Ramblas everyday. The gelato was amazing, the sights were unbelievable, the hotels were so sleek and modern. I walked/was on my feet for 10-12 hours a day. You can pretty much walk to most places in Barcelona if you like to walk. The weather was holding in the 60's during my stay so it made for really nice walking weather. I was really impressed with the churches, buildings and the advanced thinking that architects had hundreds of years back. I also had the opportunity to visit the Picasso museum and to see a large collection of his work. Very inspiring!
The last hotel that I stayed at had a beautiful aquarium in the lobby with huge gold fish. I made good friends with one of them. Everytime I would go by the aquarium to give it a kiss, it would rush towards me and bounce it's little nose on the glass in an attempt to kiss me too. It melted my heart right away! It made it that much harder to leave!!
Before coming back to the States, I stopped in London for three days. Stayed in the Holborn area, rode the tube, checked out Buckingham Palace after riding on the London Eye, walked around Oxford Street and I got inspired to get a new haircut! Fringe is all the rage in London and I suppose it was my way of taking Europe back to America with me since I had such a great time.
The toughest thing about being away for so long was missing my cat and dog. Zoe and Zuzu were being taken care of while I was away by my folks but it was so difficult not to have them be around me for that long! I am super attached to them.
But I am back home now!! Had to get a new video camera because the old one is malfunctioning. Needless to say, more Youtube videos will be going up soon!
I also just did at a show at The Store this past weekend and it was a blast! Thanks to everyone for coming out for that.
