Tons O' Stuff!!!

First of all, big apologies for not posting the last couple of weeks. A LOT of stuff has been going on… a lot of good stuff for all of you guys. Here’s everything in a semi-organized list form.

1. We recorded our live album: Annual Bootleg Vol. 5, which should be released by final show the latest of this year. Let me tell you that we’ve heard a bunch of the tracks and it is sounding amazing. From what I hear, we didn’t have to cut any songs, so all of the fan favorites should be there (more importantly, my favorites J). We’ll be keeping you posted in the next week about official release day, so make sure to keep your ears are open!
2. We have officially released our new studio album Shirt, Tie, Khaki!!!!!!! So be sure to pick up a copy at our shows!!!! Trust, I was a fan before I was a member, and this CD is totally awesomely amazing, so check it out if you get the chance.
3. We had our alumni show. It was totally amazing. 43 out of 53 alums were able to attend and participate in the show. This year’s featured group was the 2002/2003 lineup (with Micah cause he’s been in the group that long) and I gotta tell ya, it was amazing to watch these guys sing, and an honor to be able to say that I sing with them.

The group from 2002/2003 is the group that put out Cape Standard Time, the first Hyannis Sound album I ever heard about 4 years ago. It’s the album that initially drew me to the Cape to check them out. They are the reason I ever heard of the Sound and part of what led me to being part of the group today, so to sit there and here them do their biggest hits like 1000 miles and Thriller, and to see these guys sing that I looked up to so long ago, was incredibly amazing for me. For that, I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for your inspiring music.

4. On Saturday morning we had our annual alums vs. the current group ultimate Frisbee game, and they crushed us, but it’s ok, cause Phil drilled his knee into Townsend’s temple and broke his glasses (accident?). Also, I got owned by an alum who shall remain nameless *cough* JT *cough*. As I jumped up to catch a scoring pass, he hit me from the side and I landed on my knee really weird. It kinda bent in sideways and hurt A LOT, but it’s feeling a lot better now. It’s ok JT I still love ya.

Other than that, I guess I should say we only have a few weeks left with all of you, so make sure you come see us before our summer is through. We truly will miss everyone, but enough of that for now. I’ll see you guys this week!
