More about my wild trophy-ridden weekend:
The show with the Captain Miles Band was surprisingly well-received, despite the lack of rehearsal time. The audience didn't even seem to mind when we sailed into an impromptu version of Guns 'N Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" without the middle "where did we go now" part. We didn't know that part, so we just didn't play it. The crowd was very enthusiastic and more than a little forgiving.
The coolest part of the evening happened during our break between sets when our drummer Wyc was watching the very exciting double-overtime Celtics game on the bar's TV. Now, this wouldn't be all that interesting of a story except one small detail: Wyc owns the Celtics.
When the boys in green pulled out the win, Wyc bought a round of drinks for everyone in the bar. I've never seen that done in real life - only in the movies. It was a very cool moment.
So when you all come to the Abbey Lounge tomorrow night for Week 3 of the Scamper residency (featuring Luke O'Neil from the Good North, Spiraling and the Nonfamous), you can feel free to buy a round of drinks for the entire bar. You're not going to let the owner of the Celtics show you up, are you?
