It's officially the first day of summer today! Hip hip! Come celebrate with us at the Middle East tomorrow night, will you? I promise to rub lotion on each and every one of you.

The good news is that Scamper actually managed to find roughly 45 minutes when we are all in the same time zone, so there might even be a bit of this "rehearsal" thing we've read so much about in the news lately.

It's a lucky break, really. From 7:17 to 8:08 tonight, Keith takes an hour off from his booming "naughty silkscreening" business while Nate has a scheduled night off from his toughman competition training. Mike has agreed to put down the crack pipe (or as he calls it "Sweet Lady Numby Numb") for a few minutes to sit in on drums.

As for me, I figured might as well take advantage of the writer's block I've been experiencing on my new historical fiction novel about Thomas James Dildo (the inventor of the first robot rapist made of hickory wood) to cram in a little Scamphearsal.

Don't thank us. We do it all for you.
