summertime blues

Well, we're in the middle of this hot, humid and sticky season people in New York like to call hell. You may also know it as summer. Yes, summer, that wonderful time of year that we pretend to want in winter, but actually hate when we're in it. And summer brings summer vacation, which is rather unfortunate for a band because that means less shows. Also, less blog updates.

So to recap: Jason went to South Africa for two weeks, met Dikembe Mutombo, drank bonafide Cuban beer and learned to play the vuvuzuela. Also, futbol (yanks call it soccer) is the tops.
Eric Gorgonzola found his way out the high holy land of Israel, where he's in the middle of a three week pilgrimage to see where Jesus lived. Also to visit our friend Funky Punky. From what I've heard from Gordo, Nazareth, of Jesus of Nazareth fame, is a shit hole, so huzzah.
Evan is on his way to Seattle, birthplace of Hendrix and grunge and logging and lumberjacks and Brawny papertowels too, I think.
And Ben, well poor guy is stuck doing grand jury duty, protecting the integrity of this here judicial system, ya hear? so no trips for that one.

July looks lost, but hey, there's August on the way, and there we will be, a full lineup once more. Jerome Scott Umanos has filled in quite ably on our practice sessions.

I'm looking at one day in particular in August, the 21st. Wonder why? Feels like I may have to wrangle an old, once-dead act for that date, though I wonder if the drummer would be up for it.

Anywho, enough riddles and what not. This is for you, Jesse Bryan, since you're our numero uno fano.
