Yip yip, Monday people. I have not insignificant rug burn on my knee from a Saturday night limbo contest. Now that's the sign of a good weekend, friends.
The party continues tonight at the ITA Battle of the Bands at the Middle East Downstairs. While Scamper is not competing in the contest (despite our overall geekiness and penchant for battlin'), your truly will be sitting in with one of the opening bands, Kalaallit Nunaat. You probably haven't heard of them, but apparently, Kalaallit Nunaat is one of Greenland's most famous and admired cover bands.
I am honored that they think enough of Scamper that they asked me (through a translator) to sit in for a few songs at their first Boston area gig. I don't really know what to expect from these fellas - I understand they're pretty wild. I may have to pick up my game as far as outrageous attire and wacky onstage antics, so that might be worth the (low) price of admission alone.
So if you're not doing anything with your Monday night, stop on by the Middle East. Since they're not eligible for the competition (because they're from Greenland), Kalaallit Nunaat goes on early - like around 7 or so.
Speaking of Greenland, did you know that the current population of the entire country is only 56,375? That's a country. We could fit the whole population of the country into Yankee Stadium and Randy Johnson would still suck. It's amazing how that works.

What's Green-Land?
It's the icy one. Iceland is the green one.

That's quite a disgusting looking language they have there.
If I'm not mistaken, that is the Greenland national anthem.
They're a very proud people.
If the walls of the mensroom at the Sligo could describe their day in onomatopoeic 'words', I believe it would look a lot like Greenlandic. And you can't golf there, either.
