A Little Catch Up

It's been a while since I've written, and I apologize to the 2.5 people that have ever come across this blog.  Here's what's been going on:

This semester I began an internship (unpaid, of course) with 821 Entertainment.  It has been a lot of fun learning about making movies.  Those guys are a lot of fun with whom to work.  I work there every afternoon answering phones, doing research, running errands, proofing documents, and making copies.

Next on the list has been my paying job.  My boss' daughter tied the knot yesterday afternoon in a beautiful ceremony at Second Presbyterian Church here in Nashville.  That meant that I had to have the farm looking good for hosting friends and family this last week.  It was a busy couple of weeks and months leading up to the date, but it was also nice to have a day off on Saturday.

Between jobs, I had a few classes to attend.  While I am only taking 10 hours of classes (plus 2 hours of internship credit, equalling 12 hours to remain a full-time student), every class has group projects that required meetings whenever there was a free moment.

I have also begun to get something rolling for launching a career as a performer.  I have launched my own website - www.bradleyminnigan.com.  Well, kinda.  Right now it just links to my MySpace page.  I encourage you to go check it out.  There's a link to a free download of a song I wrote and recorded about 4 years ago.  The story behind the song is also on MySpace.  I have plans to have an EP recorded and available for download by the end of the summer or beginning of the fall.  Hopefully, if things go well, I'll also start playing some shows in Nashville and maybe up in Knoxville in the summer and fall.

I have some new music to discuss, but that can wait for a later date.  Come back soon to see my thoughts on KU's Defying Gravity, John Mayer's Where the Light Is, and Dierks Bentley's Feel That Fire.
