T-shirts
If by any chance, anyone wants wants to buy me one (or multiples of one), that'd be swell. You can find a nice selection at vintagevantage.com. I wear a size large.
Let me know before you buy me one, and I'll get you my address. Or you could just bring it to me. That would be fun and nice.

Something Disturbing and Something Amazing…
First of all, I am appalled by this, but I wanted to share it in case you were unaware people like this exist:
These people are from Westboro Baptist Church. I am sad that I even had to type that URL, but I wanted to share it with you. Click around on the site, and you'll find more and more outrageous claims. Man, that saddens me.
On a lighter note, I want to work at Google:
That is all.
Jon’s “Beautiful Disaster” is iTunes Single of the Week!
Jon’s song “Beautiful Disaster” is Single of the Week on the iTunes music store! You should check it out.

VIRB
= Like MySpace, but WAY cooler. You should check it out. It's now open to the public. You can find me on Virb at:
virb.com/mattulrich
virb.com/melonhead616
I don't really feel like getting into all the reasons why Virb is better than MySpace, but a few include: looks cooler, much more streamlined (doesn't slow down my browser nearly as much), way fewer and less annoying ads, much more customizable and more easily so, etc and etc.
Ok, that's it. I just wanted to share. Bye now.
Um, Exciting News!
Um, I have this friend named Ben Utecht. He plays football, but he also sings. So anyway, there's also this guy named Bill Gaither that does these concerts called "Homecoming" concerts. Well, it turns out this Bill fellow decided to ask my friend Ben to sing a song at his next concert in Indianapolis, which happens to be in the Conseco Fieldhouse (the stadium where the Indiana Pacers play), in front of 20,000 people. So that's great for my friend Ben. As luck would have it, Ben is needing an accompanist for this gig. Well, since we're friends, we have each other's numbers; and sure enough his name came up on my phone tonight. Long story short, I'm playing for Ben at the Homecoming show this coming Friday night. Scary, and yet...wow.
Everybody
...who lives within 100-10,000 miles of Anderson should probably come to Contemporary Encore tomorrow night in Reardon Auditorium here on AU's campus. Contemporary in this case means any song released after 2000, so if you know today's music, you should know the music. Shows are at 8 and 10pm. Tickets are $3 at the door. The band and I have worked as hard as we possibly can amongst our busy schedules, so it should be a good show. Come on out!
I’ve Got A Fever, And It Has To Do With The Colts
I watched this football game a few hours ago, and there was this one team from Indianapolis (they were called the Colts). They were pretty good. In fact, they won. It seemed to be kind of a big deal, so I'm happy.
(GO BEN UTECHT!)
Don't worry everyone...I'm still a Packers fan. The Colts are kinda like friend rock...you know...when your friend has a band, and you support them more out of the fact that you're friends rather than actually liking their music. Same idea. That and the proximity effect. Favre vs. Manning in Super Bowl XLII?
Scare
I had a scare a bit ago. I tried to upgrade this blog from version 2.0.6 to 2.1, but apparently the MySQL server didn't like it. I thought I was stuck. Anyway, long story short, I downgraded back to 2.0.7, and now we're back to normal. Maybe when I get a chance, I'll try again, but for now, enjoy 2.0.7.
