Update/ Red Sox

Sorry for a lack of posting in the last week, it’s been incredibly busy around here. We had many, many a gig last week with two on Wednesday, both of which were incredibly fun.

On Wednesday we had a legacy gig that the group’s been doing FOREVER at DY which was a lot of fun. It was great meeting you guys! And good luck going into high school, it’s not that scary. Just cause I had no friends and got beat up and had my lunch money stolen doesn’t mean it’ll happen to you. I was a rare case. Most people are cooler than me, like you guys, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Anyways, later that night we performed at PCC (Project Contemporary Competitiveness), which the group has also been doing FOREVER. I now have permanent hearing damage from the audience that night, which I am extremely thankful for. Thanks so much for having us again and for being such an amazing crowd! You guys totally blew me away with your enthusiasm for us and my bike horn. It was great meeting all of you at the show; hopefully we’ll see you again later this summer!

Other than Wednesday of last week, our regular weekly schedule has been going amazingly. The crowd gets bigger and bigger each week, and its great to see the same people coming show after show. You’re support is truly priceless to us. Thank you.

If anyone hasn’t come to a show yet, or hasn’t come in a while, come see what we’ve been up to! Last week we added a few new tunes, and we’re going to start to learn a few more that I and Jeff have been working on, so be on the look out! Also, our CD is coming out very soon, so keep your ears open this week for an official release date of Shirt, Tie, Khaki!!!!

Now for the good part of the blog.

At the beginning of last week when Robbie was telling us our schedule for the rest of the week, he told us that we had a graduation brunch that we had been hired to sing at for Sunday (yesterday) morning and that we would have to be ready to leave the house by 8:30. No not PM, AM.

I woke up at 7:00 and took a shower like everyone else, and got dressed in our khaki and polo attire and slowly, but sadly walked into the living room. Everyone had the same tired expression on their faces. We all sat in the living room completely shrouded in the sadness of the fact that we all were awake this early, and that, like usual, we all stayed up too late the night before.

We all depressingly stared at the MTV Music Videos channel (Cooper had the remote) in utter silence until call time (8:30 AM). We then stood up and Coop began to warm up our voices. Then Robbie stopped him and said, “Ok, we have two options. We can either go to this gig sad and tired, or we could just skip it and go to the Red Sox game today.” It took us a second cause we all thought he was joking. Then we all realized at the same time, that he wasn’t. YAHTZEE!

Talk about a mood swing. We went from utter depression to complete joy and happiness in a split second. Phil jumped into Robbie’s arms like a newly wed bride being carried across the threshold and everything.

We got to gate E at Fenway and waited in line for tickets for a couple hours. We were able to get some standing room in the grandstands, which was complete AWESOMENESS! It was a perfect day. Perfect weather, Manny hit a three run homer in the first inning, I bought a $4 hotdog and a Coke for $4.25, and the Red Sox closed out the game against the White Sox with a double play. Perfect.

I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to spend a summer day. (That almost sounds poetic) Thank you Robbie/ Dad for making us so sad, cause it made feeling happy feel WICKED HAPPY! Yesterday ruled.

Rob rules, the end.
