that worked out well

I got to the show tonight and it turns out that Enlou dropped so they asked us if we could play. so even though our afternoon show got rained out we got to play. it was H&M's last show and LP's second to last. i'm extremely glad we got to rock out with them. H&M played the best I'd ever seen them. what a good night.

shows

we played a show last night and it was pretty stellar. kind of a young crowd but it was fun. it was down in Carmel with our friends All of the Above. they are so tight. then we were supposed to play in Hartford this afternoon but it got canceled and no one told us. i love it when that happens. whatever... i'll just get myself pumped for SpringHill.

perfect score

"If they make a movie about it I wonder who would play me... he would have to be hung like a horse."

paint and music

we practiced yesterday and it was a lot of fun. i think we have the new song done. score. it just needs to be cleaned up a bit. today i went over to tyler's and organized the basement. it looks a lot better now and we'll have more room to practice and stuff. i also painted my neighbor's chimney. am i awesome or what?

oh conan

Martha Stewart: "if you use this tool then it makes the paint look like fake wood."
Conan: "That's incredible, you can have fake wood at home!"
*laughter*
Conan: "It's called Viagra."
