A Proud Tradition Endures
Lynndi Lauper's been showing off for the new people with stubbed toes, ripped hose, minor head injuries, the lightweight stuff of today's more cautious, well-informed Brat Pack. Predictably, no one was impressed.
But last night, Sam Kind of Wonderful brought the Pack back to its roots. During the first song of the night, Footloose, the whirlwind culminated in a serious ankle sprain. At break an hour later, there was no time for first aid or even sympathy, as a downpour directed everyone's attention to protecting inanimate objects. Neglecting Poor Sam's problem for several hours, and even laughing at him and getting video of him limping across the parking lot, let it bloom into today's triumphant, old skool gig tragedy!
It's good to know that some Brat Pack traditions continue...

The Week in Review
Minimal Injuries, Great News for Custom Virus
I ushered in the weekend (Sixteen Kendells' huge birthday celebration weekend, BTW) at the White Horse beer garden by crushing my thumb in the backdrop stand, but then nothing worse happened for three entire gigs, making for a pretty lame Injury of the Week. On the other hand, Josh of Seagulls has announced that, using his own lungs and sinuses, he's gotten a head start on our respiratory gunk for the coming winter. Thanks for kicking it off earlier than usual, Josh! We look forward to the long drives home.
That's Our Larry!
Tommy Tubular has reason to suspect that beneath Larry's happy sexy fun exterior, there beats a lonely, complicated heart. TT played us a voicemail he'd received late one night, when we were each busy with post-gig gaieties, leaving poor Larry all alone in a strange town. His words slurred by bare emotion, Larry pleaded for companionship as well as money, to be deposited in his checking account at 1-800-BIT-CHES.
Puzzle People Coming Through
I begged and whined, and finally one of the puzzle winners sent me a teaser. You can try it too. The grand prize is TBA; Deanna and Melissa will vouch for our prompt payment. Oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind! Mickey and his fine family all live on Wham! Street. Mickey's mother, Vicky, lives at 2005 Wham! Street. Mickey's cousin, Lucy, lives at 1150 Wham! Street. What address does Mickey live at? Solve that!
Lesson in Love
We've been schooled in why bass players are so totally awesome. It's not their good looks, smooth moves, excellent minds, interesting hobbies, or toned calves. The flourless chocolate cake with homemade raspberry sauce is what makes them irresistible!
