Ok, so I've had this website going for a little while, and nobody has come to visit as far as I can tell.  Perhaps a bit of blogging will help.  My first shot at this, so be patient....

3/23

I signed up for the CHIRP staff tix to see The Orwells at Beat Kitchen on my bday.  It's an all-ages show, so I thought it would be a lot of fun to take my 13-yr old.  Most of the band members are only 5-6 yrs older than him.  Their debut, which I've been getting to know by playing a cut from it on CHIRP nearly every Wednesday night, is a fuzzy, snotty adolescent blast.  Not sure if my boy will cotton to it, but I know that I like it...

We went to The Alley first on the way to venue, to get in the mood...

Got to Beat Kitchen before the 1st of 3 bands even went on.  Got stamped & went out for some food.  Got back in time for 2nd band.  Stood awkwardly by CHIRP table (teen in a cool environment + dad = weird) when the text from homebase came in.  Little bro injured in wrestling accident....please come home he's bleeding everywhere.  So, I hope it was a great show for all who attended....the room was very excited, you could feel it.  Here's how my bday/Orwells/sondate ended:

3 staples to the 6-yr old's head.  Oh well, maybe I'll be able to get tix to The Orwells after their 2nd album....

Over & out.
