The band that I’ve been a part of for close to a year, Purple Are Forward, had possibly its last show this past Thursday at Cedar’s Lounge in Youngstown, OH. It sure was a fun ride with these guys and I’m positive that we’ll still be seeing a lot of each other still.

It may not have been the best show to end on seeing as how all of us were dead tired after working/going to school all day only to come out and be as rockin’ as we possibly could, taking the stage at 11:00 pm. Even with the odds against us, we brought it. Oh did we bring it.

The crowd wasn’t massive, but it was still great to see all our regulars bobbin’ their heads and enjoying the show. Even if it’s only a handful of people we know, we always expect to have a good time.

The video below was taken again by our friend Nick Serra. Be sure to give him some good comments on YouTube where these videos are posted please. I’m sure he would appreciate it.

You’ll also notice that I have a few pictures of me and my fiancee Zombified! We attended the yearly Youngstown, OH Zombie Crawl. We’re first-timers so we had to have our friends Matt and Angi help us with our makeup. Did they do a good job or what?!

Mind you the picture of me standing in the dark with my hood up is after only getting 4 hours of sleep from playing the PAF show the night before.

So what’s happening with HonestKyle…

Well, I’ll tell you what I worked on this past weekend and it wasn’t music. It wasn’t even fun.

Since I’m a big boy now with a big boy job, sometimes you have to meet deadlines with your projects and get those TPS reports out before someone comes and bothers you and this was one of those times. I’m a software developer and I had to have a new feature in the company’s test system by the end of the day Monday and it wasn’t ready so I actually had to put in a 6 hour work day on Saturday and another 8 hours on Sunday. I at least got to work from my laptop at home, but it was still disheartening knowing my guitar was so close by and that I couldn’t touch it!

I’m happy to say that I got the project in on time. And hopefully, I don’t have anything that urgent to do for awhile so I can buckle down and feed you guys some more sneaky peaks of what’s happening in the HK music world as I get more time to crank out this final tune for the album.
