Not much posting going on lately. As our status as a "part-time" or "hobby" band, one of the amazing perks is that we get summer vacation! This summer has been no different (although we have played more than 2 shows this time). Everyone stays pretty busy with obligations to their houses, families or wives, girlfriends ... or in my case internet porn.
After our tailgating party in Sarnia (aka show) a few weeks later we hooked up with Carry the Torch, Heavy Hearted and The Fitzpatrick Incident for a couple of shows in Southern Ontario which ruled. All those bands were super fun to play with and it sucks that a couple of the shows got ditched last second by sketchy promoters. SIDENOTE: I fucking hate myspace promotion companies. SIDENOTE STORY: We actually agreed to play a show through one of these "promoters" until the douchebag emails us saying we have to come to a "bands meeting" where he'll give us a stack of flyers to hand out and tickets to sell to our friends!!! Holy Fuck we haven't experienced that since we were 16 playing in shitty ass SuperNova battle of the bands!! HARDCORE '08 ARE YOU DOWN?!?!?!
Anyways to the topic at hand - two major events that went down over the last two months which has kept things quiet on this front are that both Brad and I were involved in some serious home renovation projects. I lived and breathed TLC's "Flip that House" while Brad worked hard on his home reno project (sans Mike Holmes). Attached is myself and Toronto cyclist who is loved by all The Rennick (makergo.com) finishing up said house that I spent pretty much every waking (fuck it, sleeping too) moment stressing over. Luckily that son-of-a-bitch sold this week and it is one month away from being a distant memory.
Now to more TTL relevant news. Pretty much jamming has been on the backburner due to Brad taking the plunge to increase his property value by 10% by finishing his basement. Lucky for us that means a brand spanking new LIONS DEN!!! For those of you who don't know - The Lions Den is where we practice music and after that we take off our shirts and throwdown MMA styles. If you want a piece of Steve you have to fight us all first and if you can beat us all up we will give you a free CD (signed by all five members of course). So now the LIONS DEN is in top shape with removable recording station, new drywall and hopefully HUGE Metal posters to come from Poster World.
Take note of what Ted is holding in his hand. Now I am not really one to drink fizzy or sugary drinks but GOSH DANG I must say - 1 frickin litre of Dr. Pepper and Gatorade squishy is a mighty fine beverage. Look at the way that Flanders kid is eyeing that shit! He wants it so bad to make his eyes go all googly and squirly. You should have been there. BRUP!
