Hello everybody. Your friend Owen here.
I come to you with a request for suggestions.

On top of my temporary jobbing and money saving, I’m trying to think up some ways to raise money for upcoming tours, my wedding/marriage/honeymoon, a car (i’ve never owned one and still don’t), a decent laptop (i still have a immobile desktop.)

What I want to hear is your ideas on what you think would be a great way to raise a few bucks for an aspiring artist like myself.

Please leave a comment with your ideas!

Today was spent at Macy's in the Galleria in St. Louis, MO.
Jillian and I headed there to attend this Martha Steward Wedding Event where we listened to some Editor that works for Martha Stewart chat about life and wedding planning.

We were given gift cards and other things in high hopes that we would register at Macy's for our Wedding. We did already, so whatevs.

We were entertained with pastries and beverages. Fun.

We wrapped up the afternoon with Coffee, Tea, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and the Apple Store.

No we are eating TeaQuitos and sipping milk. Delicious.

More updates soon. Blog on!

This last week or so, has been spent in the depths of north-west Arkansas. Russellville to be more specific.
I've been spending time with my dear friends in the band Deas Vail.

We've been doing a lot of hanging including watching Alien 1 + 2, playing a fun multiplayer solitaire eske game called "Nertz," eating more Taco Johns than I could have ever dreamed about, rock climbing (in which I napped) and getting to know a great group of guys and girl better.

They write really beautiful music, and I hope you'll check it out:

Tomorrow I head back to Illinois to be with my lovely fiancee, friends, family and hoping to spend the next few days being home re-grouping, doing laundry, and figuring out our next move.

This decision to get married has been such a big one to make.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not even worthy of such a wonderful gift.
And what a wonderful person's life I get to be apart of. She is so wonderful.

Though planning a wedding, and budget planning has been stressful, I know it's all worth it. Spending every day with the person you love.

I've been reading the book "Sex God" this last month or two. I really encourage you to read it.

I'm going to log off of this blog situation and get back to making the most of these last few moments in AR.
I love you all.

Sherbet Ice Cream is so delicious. Don't you agree?
I agree.

This past weekend was a great one. I had the pleasure to play in Mt. Vernon at The Living Room. The guy that books all the shows there, Tom, is a stand-up guy.

I got to play with my friends Dr. Manhattan, Dear Future, & The Doctor and the Devils. Such a fine group of gentlemen.

I tried out some new material including some songs off of the new album that is tentatively scheduled to come out this fall. Oh yeah. I said it.

I will be posting another podcast before I leave to go out of town this weekend. None of you are tuning into that I'm seeing very quickly.

Which is one of my favorite days of the week.
Why?

Well, if you watched the show "Lost" on ABC, you wouldn't need to ask why. It is one of the most addictive shows on the planet, and is so good.
If you don't like it, you don't understand it yet. And when you do understand it, you will like it. So deal with it.

I posted a new Podcast this week. For some reason iTunes hasn't automatically posted it on the front of the episode list. So, to listen to it. Subscribe by going here. Then, after you've successfully downloaded an episode. Go to your podcast section and right click the OWEN PYE PODCAST and hit "Update Podcast."
