So I was guessing that it had to be from a band. And I was right. But this time it was from a one-man band called This is the Good Fight. But you can also call him Aaron. He was asking me to check out his music. Once I got back to school from the game and eating out with my friend Krissy, I obliged and went to his myspace, since I love music so much and have been promoting bands for the past few months.
Here's some questions I asked him so y'all can know a little about him. It sucks that I couldn't interview him in person. But with school and whatnot, I can't go to Texas right now. I would love to! Meet him and my friend Kelsey from Dallas! One day hopefully I will get the chance. I really need to go to all these states that all my friends live in!
