Hope you all had a nice long weekend and didn't get assassinated for leading the charge for civil rights or anything. Because that would be weird as fuck.
As for Nate and I, we basked in the glitz and glamour of the Maxie Awards (the year-end awards that The Noise gives out) at the Middle East on Sunday afternoon. Some highlights:
- As much as we love all the love and support you Scamper fans give us, I must say one thing: you guys SUCK at internet voting. Just terrible. We didn't win a damn thing. I can't tell you how disappointed we are in you. Really. Tsk tsk.
- The one category we thought we had a shot at was "Biggest Disappointment of the Year" for losing the Hanson contest (another contest for which you guys didn't vote hard enough. Hmm... I'm starting to sense a theme here). We lost to "Ashley Simpson Headlines NEMO." That's right, not only did we lose - we lost to Ashley Simpson. I was so upset and embarrassed that I did a little jig.
- Nate presented an award with the very zexxxy Kara from the band Fluttr Effect. Nate did a very funny "I'm reading awkwardly from the teleprompter even though there's clearly no teleprompter" bit. Kara responded by licking his neck like the little sex kitten she apparently is. It was, in a word, weird. But in Nate's words, completely awesome.
- If you thought the Oscars tend to run a bit long, try getting a room full of local musicians in a room with a microphone. Hoo daddy. It was almost an HOUR before they gave out the first award. And this wasn't an hour of planned material or performance or anything like that. Oh no no - it was a series of inside jokes being shouted back and forth from the stage to the audience. For. An. HOUR. Goddamn.
- As I was standing next to Robby Roadsteamer in the wings, we had the following exchange:
Robby: "Any member of my band that didn't show up for this thing is dead to me."
Me: "See, I'm firing any member of my band that DID show up. Including me."
- As the night dragged on, it became clear that Scamper wasn't bringing home any of the coveted hardware. Then, I sensed my opportunity - the "Highlight of the Year" award went to "Dinosaur Jr. Reunites." I jumped up on stage, grabbed the award and said "Thank you so much - Dinosaur Jr. audiences are the best!" and jumped off. You see in life, some people sit around and wait until they win awards. Other people just go take them. It's a lesson for you all.
By the way, if any members of Dinosaur Jr. want their award, they can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Big announcement tomorrow about some fun stuff coming up for Scamper Nation.

I am so fucking happy that Naked Harris has been pushed off the top of the journal.
You're like Ol Dirty Bastard jumping up on stage during someone elses award. Only you're white. And not dead.
The best part of that story is that when Shawn Colvin won, ODB thought it was Sean Combs. So that's why he did it. VH1 really missed the boat by not immortalizing him with a reality show.
But Scamper should win, because Scamper is for the children.
ASHLEE simpson!!! ASHLEE not ASHLEY.
jesus. be bitter all you want, but at least spelled the chick's name right
sadly, I was thinking this too.
sorry, scamps. i voted. i saw the pic of brendon onstage and thought you HAD won something. tease.

Be bitter all you want, but at least spell the dude's name right.
how embarassing. i have no idea how that happened. maybe it's because i just saw jason priestley on regis and kelly this morning.
That photo is actually of me presenting an award. You can't see her, but Gwyneth Paltrow is next to me.
no, that photo is of you taking the Dino Jr. award because that's my hand next to you- ring and all.
