While we too enjoy fireworks, cookouts and an extra day off from work (actually, we worked Saturday, so we only had a two day weekend), we try to remember exactly what the Fourth of July is all about... We're spending our day watching the John Adams miniseries on HBO...
Not that we haven't had our fair share of fun too.. Saturday was one of those unforgettable days, as we went to Joe and Carol's annual 4th of July bash, except it was even more special this year, as we celebrated my brother Matt's 50th birthday the day earlier. Headlining the party was the two of us, along with Phil and Big Brian, as Narcdog rocked the patio, pool and a fiev squeare mile area around the house. Yeah it was loud, but word wa the neighbors loved us last year, so we weren't worried about the cops. We were right.
As much of a goofball as Matt is, he has a certain lovability - one that I lack - that makes people do special things for him. We had a big surprise for him this year, as my siser Monica flew in from Florida for the weekend. We'd like to thank Southwest Airlines online special for making this possible. She walked in as we just finished our secons song, and Matt was floored. Nice.... As usual, we kicked ass for three full sets, including me doing Neon Trees 'Animal' by myself...
Luckily, the hot summer weather held off until after we played. For here, it is kinda warm today - mid to upper 80's and it is sunny. Probably about 7-8 degrees above normal, but no where near the heat in the Palmetto State this time of year. Yes, this is the time of year where we get to laugh at you!
Again, I want to take a minute to apologize for the lack of posts and communication with most of you. The band had 2 shows in the past 3 weekends, with practices as well, and I am trying to spend my days off with those I care about here, which is no easy task. Suffice to say, when I get home to the studio apartment, and the bed is only three feet from the laptop, the bed often wins the battle....
