holy cow crap i'm freaking out!
only thing is, one of our members lives in austin, and that's 8 hours away, and we haven't played together in months. but this opportunity is fucking awesome and i don't think we can afford to pass it up. only thing is, we'd be missing a bunch of class (our other member is in grad school) and it wouldn't be a university excused absence, so it would count against our grades. at the same time, though, this is what i want to do more than anything else. i don't want to teach music, i want to PLAY music. what's a girl to do? edit: i just realized that i posted this in the wrong section. sorriez.

Oh wow, couldn't you come to some sort of an agreement with the teachers? I wouldn't pass up an opportunity like this for the world...

I would do it, but it's all a question of where your priorities lie.
And of course whether or not you like or dislike A&R feeding frenzies. |

I would go, it may or may not ever happen again. I would also schlep my textbooks around with me the entire time. |

aren't you guys studying music? this SHOULD be a "university excused absence". if they don't let you off the hook, your teecherz are a bunch of jealous "those who can't, teach" wad of cunts. time to roll the dice. if they threaten to flunk you, can you drop out in advance? or alternatively, graduate now with whatever credits you have and fuck it all? FUCKITALL!!!! but seriously. this is the type of shit that should EARN you credits. like, write it up as an "independent study" in "introduction to the music business". talk to your advisor & find a way to squeeze this in. a lot of vaseline would help. if that won't work, transfer to NYU. |

ps- faculty gives itself free passes to go to "conferences', which are nothing but opportunities to fuck each other after a dull day of useless discussions, instead of going to the whores after making lots of money, like respectable business people do.

you'd think that, right? wrong. there've been instances just like this one where students have flunked classes because they opted to perform with X group instead of taking a test, hoping that the teacher would reschedule it...with no luck. either way, i'm gonna do it. i can't miss out on this.

Heart vs head is always a shitty fight to have. I'm glad to hear that heart is winning out in this one. Opportunities like that aren't ones that come along every five minutes.
