Thai Food / Bounce

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Alex introduced me and Jon to the 80’s TV theme song sound-alike that is the Mattress Giant jingle — complete with awkward overly sensual oooh-ing at the end.

He also introduced us to his bouncy new tune. We spent the entire practice playing this great number. Jon is still working out the kinks in his guitar solo but he’s almost there. After much flubbing, I was finally able to figure out the keyboard changes. Let’s see if I still got it next time we meet….

No cooking. We missed Danny too much to cook. So we ordered Thai food instead. And Alex counted off in French. I mean, he’s always counting off in French, but I think I saw a tear fall from his left eye when he said “trois.” Hope Danny’s enjoying his baguettes and coq au vin.

This is how I play drums

Chinese Takeout / Catching Up

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

We found our animal spirits!

Turns out Alex is a wolverine, Dan is a wolf, Jonny is an owl, and Trish is a spider.  meow.

In keeping with our animal spirits, Alex battled with a sabertooth, Dan straddled the line in discord and rhyme and got hungry, Jonny took three licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop, and Trish spun catchy phrases on her web to save a pig’s life. All in all a productive evening.

Time was short and rehearsal has been long overdue, so no cooking tonight. Chinese take out, quick run through of our songs, and a fond adieu to Dan who is on his way to a Parisian vacation. Bon voyage, our canine friend!
