Many thanks to the millions of screaming Beatles fans who came out to the Abbey last night. For those of you unfortunates who missed it, some highlights:
As an homage to the Fab Four early years, Scamper got decked out in shirts and ties. While we looked as snazzy as all fuck-out on stage, it also happened to be the hottest, muggiest, most miserable night of the year. Last night, I did me some serious sweating. I sweat so much that YOU lost weight.
One of the bands pulled out at the last minute, so we had around 45 minutes to fill. Of course, we were instructed to play 5 Beatles songs and we selected them all from the early years ("Please Please Me," "I Saw Her Standing There," "You're Going To Lose That Girl," "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You," and "All My Loving"), all of which are approximately one and a half minute long. So we had ourselves some time to kill.
We contemplated playing our entire set 4 times, but opted instead to reveal the secret shame of Scamper: "Sophie" is actually a lost Beatles song called "Yoko" that we renamed and claimed as our own. It felt good to get the guilt off our chests, although we apparently now owe Michael Jackson $412,583.
Thanks so much to Neil for putting the show together and the Abbey for having us last night - it was really a blast.
But wait - there's another show? Tomorrow night at the Middle East Up? That's just crazy talk, Brendo!
But it's true. We're playing with Aloud, who have become my favorite band in Boston (now that these assholes have broken up). Another little Scamper secret: we all have a hidden crush on one of the members of Aloud. Try to guess who - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised (clue: his name is Henry).

Little boys spend too much time looking at their penises.
today is my half birthday.
(sorry, it's all i've got going for me)
Whoa. I'm flattered, but seriously, I'm not interested. Not without a large sum of money and some pressed-turkey sandwiches.
Oh, and one of us is hot for the Scamper. I'll give you a hint:
it's Roy.
How DARE you reject our Scamperrific advances, Henry?
You broke Mikey's heart. And his balls.
Well... can I at least get a pressed turkey sandwich out of this deal? I'm starving.
Okay, but you've got to give Mikey a handie.
You're all fools. Ross Lohr is clearly the crushworthiest member of Aloud!
