I just returned from looking at an apartment that was just AMAZING! I’m still in shock. I mean, after looking at other places in worse areas…Here I find a better area for less money and get a better place?? How can this be?! Luck? Well, I don’t have the place yet but I’m filling out the credit application…Of which I’m pretty sure my credit is good (otherwise these banks would stop sending me these platinum Credit Cards [danger!]). Speaking of banks…The bank of “Mom” said she’d help out a little on the moving expenses. –I’d like to take this opportunity to say that Mom Rules. I recommend you all have one Well…Keep your fingers and toes crossed about the apartment for me.

Onto another subject, someone suggested I started selling 8×10’s of myself on the website:

“Later on you could introduce the “Bob Bares it all Collection“! You know -shirtless, shaving, in a towel after a shower -certainly not hard core.. Just a thought. Put the idea on the Blog and see if you get any feed back, first just 8×10s for sale, then the other, see what happens.”

“Bob Bares it All” …Has that tone of “Girls Gone Wild” LOL!! What do you all think of this idea? It’s a little weird to think that someone might actually want to purchase photos of me, but I’m game …I’m certainly way too shy for anything X-rated(at least on camera). Anyway…Email bob@bobgentry.com and let me know what you all think of this?

On a song note… Drummer Jason ran across an old song I’d written called “Too Busy”…He found the drum files that my old band Moisture had recorded. For some reason we never finished recording the song…I think at that point in time the band was fizzled…But I remember thinking the song ROCKED! Jason made mention of finishing the recording and I’m all for it.

Now that I think about it, there were quite few good songs that never were recorded that we used to play out at the clubs …With both Detroit’s version of Moisture and California’s version. Doing the whole “solo” thing, it’s harder to figure out which is worth spending the time and money on getting to CD. See, as a band…We could test the songs in front of people …Complete strangers….Just to get a reaction. Usually we ended up recording the songs that sounded the best live and what received the best reaction. Not having the audience and band to bounce things off of makes picking and choosing a little harder but not impossible.

I’m hopeful this recording and publishing company we’re doing the show for on the 9th decide to offer a deal of some sort. I’ve got a TON of songs in my pocket just waiting to be recorded properly. If they don’t offer anything, life goes on and I try knocking on another door. The same goes for this apartment I looked at today. Ah, the life of a starving artist.
