Big ups to all the peeps that headed out to the Abbey last night for the New England Popfest. It was a fun, sweaty sweaty evening. Some highlights:
- All night, Mikey and I were playing a game where we stared at each other's balls. That's it. That was the game. It was making everyone around us uncomfortable. Great fun.
- The organizers were kind enough to provide free pizza. I pulled off the amazing feat of having both the first slice of pizza at 6:30pm AND the last slice at 12:30am. Folks, I'm not going to mince words - I'm an American hero.
- Right before we went on stage, the members of Scamper had a pushup contest in the corner of the bar. It was a three-way tie between Keith, Nate and myself with twenty bar pushups. Second place went to Mike with zero pushups. Apparently, drummers don't want to tire their arms out before a show. Also apparently, drummers are giant pussies.
- The show itself was terrific. I am continually amazed by you guys and the energy and enthusiasm you bring to every one of our performances. You make it a lot of fun for us. Seriously, it is always an honor and a privelege to play for you guys. So thank you.
- Normally, I sweat a lot during your average show, but the Abbey was like a sauna last night. After the show, all the well-wishers came up to hug me and were suitably repulsed when they touched my damp shirt. What can I say, folks? I'm a big dumb animal.
So thanks again to all who came out and I swear we'll have another show, one of these weeks.

I would just like to earnestly concur with Brendan:
He was a crazy sweaty bastard last night.
I asked some people what your band sounded like. One person said Damn Yankees, another said Bananarama and the third told me to go see "The sound of Music" and I'd understand. Which is more accurate?
I'll adopt a hurricane baby if you cover 'High Enough' at your next show. In lederhosen.
