Show...
Hey just letting you guys know that Mirrors has a few shows coming up in November and December, so if you give a shit here they are:
Nov. 3rd @ Ash St Saloon (we play 3rd out of 3).
Nov. 6th @ Rotture (not sure the order for this one, but we're playing with Josh Northcutt's band and a band called Sirhan Sirhan who has the singer from a band we use to listen to called Molly Maguire, and oddly enough the drummer of Sirhan Sirhan is the little brother of the drummer from a band I still love, Shiner. Small world).
December 15th @ Mt. Tabor (I think we play 3rd or 4th)
-Then we will do some touring action in Febuary/ March. We're trying to get submitted for South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, and a festival in San Francisco called NoisePop. Oh and we have manager now. His name is Tim and he lives in Santa Barbara Ca. He's an attorney and runs a small label called Wednesday Records. Since we have interest in bigger labels right now he's going to see what we might be able to get from them, but if not we can always put out an album with his label. He's big on licensing and has generated some good paychecks for his previous bands by just selling there songs to things like video games, tv shows, movies, etc. So we're very excited to have a guy working hard for us. Breath...there ya go. That's the offical Mirrors update. Love you,
James

LA here we come...
So Mirrors is going to make the trip down south to play in LA on the 9th. Yikes that's really soon!! Anyway, we decided to make it worth our trip and go for it. There will be multiple "important" people seeing us this time: Mercury Records (major), Atlantic (major) Wednesday Records ( indie-dude also said even if we don't decide to go with them he wants to be involved with us by managing us etc, he's also inviting a friend if his from Capitol), and Velvet Hammer ( a managment agency from LA, they represent System of a Down, Deftones, Cypress Hill etc) will be there as well. So we asked ourselves, is driving to down to LA and being broke for awhile worth it? Yes, it is. So we're going for it.
So we leave ass early on Monday and will drive all the way through and stay at Jeff's sister's house in Anaheim (I guess it's only a few miles from the venue, so that's pretty cool). We'll probably sleep until the early afternoon and get up and do some stretching, coffee, pooping, pinch eachother and then head down to the venue and do our thing. We'll probably end up staying at Jeff's sister's again that night and then drive back wednesday morning. Holy crap.
Wish us luck!! Love all of you,
James
ps. I'm sick, I hope I'm better by then. So send me some get well vibes through the internet.

Well I'm home!! Let's chill yo...Baby Kate, I'm thinking of you. Uncle James is on his way!!!
Trip was susper awesome. Three weeks in Europe will do that. As far as our first day back, check Ashley's post, she explains it all in great detail.
I'm going to drink a cup of american coffee. Just a plain cup of Joe. In Europe if you ask for a cup of coffee you basically get a huge cup of espresso. It does the trick as far as getting your caffeine fix but sometimes you just need a plain ol' cup of Joe.
In other news dudes from Mercury Records ( the ones who flaked on us in Portland) want us to play a show in LA on the 9th of this month. One of them will be in LA "for sure" on that day and have gotten an opening slot that night at a venue called Chain Reaction. It's actually a pretty reputable club and would be sweet to play there but I feel like these guys f-ed last time and need to come to us now, on our own terms. I don't know, I'm poor from the trip, need to go back to work and shouldn't take off more time but... I don''t know, it'll work itself out I guess. I'm in a band which is a democratic thing, so if the other dudes say go, then I kind of have to. Yikes! Kind of feel like just being home for awhile. But what can you do??
Love.
