I really didn't know what to expect with this last second show, but it turned out to be a great night with the closest of our friends and a few random strangers. They were treated to our longest show ever broken down into 2 sets. We were the only band so we had no choice!

Yeah, we found out about...

Dude, your list of "songs that make you cry" was a knockout. By the end of your list I had goosebumps for about 20 minutes!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

I haven't been posting much because the last 2 weeks have been pretty rough. My cat of 15 1/2 years died in my arms. It's hitting me hard 'coz not only was he my constant companion but the fact my sister and I basically raised him. He was attacked and almost killed by a male cat in the house when he was a kitten. I...

I am so sorry to hear about your kitty. It's so hard to lose a companion like that. I have instructed my two dogs to live forever - I can't imagine being without them.

My condolences.

Practice was going great the other day until Andy showed us a new song that had a riff in it that was exactly the same as another one of our songs. Besides that it wasn't catchy on first play so I called it filler. Next thing I know is he's taking off his guitar and saying practice is over. I said "did I hurt your...

And so begins my partial unemployment. Well it actually started yesterday. Re-opened my claim online which was fairly painless. I'm just looking at it as vacation time right now. The stress level has already gone down. Feel I can take my time with the everyday chores without feeling like I have to rush.

I hit the work football pool again. I used that to buy...

Well I sure had a pleasurable way of waking up this morning. First off, I'm getting sick again. I could feel the sore throat coming on before I went to bed last night. So I wake up my usual ungodly time, this time I was lucky to sleep at least 'till 5. First thing I do is knock my glasses off the nightstand. OK, I'm...

The kids from the Morgun Light Foundation wanted us to be one of the surprise bands for their Halloween dance. We didn't even get a chance to practice at all after the last show. In fact, Penny was gonna meet us there straight from his job. Luckily Shane was down on vacation and he helped us...

He's my report from the "Punk Rock Prom" show last night...

We got there real early right before 3. I paid George $10 to be my drum roadie (thanks George!) so he helped me lug in my stuff. It was basically sit and around and wait until the show started around 6. Doors opened at 5....

Generation TV Mixdown 2

Was able to go back up with Andy to work more on the mixes. We had to redo "Psychotherapist" since Phil noticed a drop out on the original mix. Andy then wanted to take the double tracked vocals off of "Idiot For You", at least on the main one. After that we worked on only 4 more songs. It really is...

Generation TV Mixdown pt. 1

Was able to go up with Andy and George who tagged along for the ride. Philmore wanted us to stop and get some blank tapes so we stopped at our local Eckerd Drugs down here. What was supposed to be a quick stop ended up being a fatty feast as we spied new kinds of Tastykakes and much to our...

What can I say? This show exceeded every expectation and even had a bonus surprise! Let's have a rundown shall we?

The White Stripes, House of Blues, Atlantic City, NJ 9/28/05

I ended up treating Penny and K to the tickets as a belated/early b-day presents. What I didn't count on was having to pay for tolls, gas, and parking too! LOL! At least I didn't have to drive. Got there a little before 9 and the line to get in was huge! Some kid Penny...
