No one reads this.
Everyone HATES me.
:(
You know it's band when you IM your one friend left on AOL this late at night and not only do they not respond, but they sign off AOL (which makes a slamming door sound to add to your humiliation)
Fine. I didn't want to talk to you anyway.
I quit smoking two days ago so I might seem a little TENSE.......
If you thought picking a band name everyone likes is hard, try picking Halloween costumes.
Ugh.
If you're around, we're throwing a rager party at Freddy's in Brooklyn though...check out our gigs page for details........woooooooooooooo, scary!!!!!!!
Just in case you are wondering about getting an accordion through an airport security checkpoint.....
10/18 - JFK
Conveyor belt comes to a full stop.
Security Guard (loudly) - "Who the hell is running an accordion through this thing?!" (looks at me) "It's certainly not YOU!"
Me - "Uh, yes sir, that IS actually my accordion. It's for my punk band"
SG - "What??" (incredulous look) Why the HELL would you want to play accordion? I mean, seriously!" (engages other SGs in lengthy conversation about how ridiculous accordions are)
Me - "Uh, can I have my accordion now?"
10/26 - Long Beach Airport
Conveyor belt comes to a full stop
SG (loudly) - "What's this accordion doing going through here?!" (turns to me) "Sweetheart, is that YOURS?"
Me - "Uh, yes sir, it's for my punk band I have"
SG - "REALLY. And you actually play this thing?"
Me - (fighting the sarcasm urge) "Yes. I actually play this thing."
SG - "So, if you took it out right now, you could play a polka song for me?" (other SGs are starting to yuck it up now)
ME - "I don't know polka, only punk."
SG - "Oh. Alright honey. You got some lunch there for me instead?" (more yucks)
ME - "Uh, nope. Just my accordion....can I go now??"
11PM. After party in hotel suite in full swing.
Loud knocks at the door.
Security guard - "M'am, are you the registered guest of this room?"
Me - "Absolooly." (Eyes fighting to focus on all eight of him...)
SG - "M'am, are you aware that we've already been up here three times and the next time, I'm gonna clear the suite."
Me - "Absolooly.....absolooly" (must grip wall now)
SG - "M'am, we simply cannot have people jumping over your balcony to get into the room (referencing Matt's grand entrance which consisted of jumping the patio railing and slamming facefirst into the closed sliding glass doors with a guard right on his heels)
Me "oh......uh......absolooly...thank you ferry ferry mush....won happin again......absolooly."
I had the best time of my life this past week in Los Angeles. Back in rainy New York now and I'm sad that none of them are here to hang out with me. My stomache still hurts from laughing so much. I had forgotten what a good time feels like. But tonight I can still feel it lingering........sigh
