We are model thai food

Monday, May 4th, 2009

A quick glance at our analytics showed that a visitor recently arrived to our site by searching the phrase “model thai food,” presumably in Google. Nat[chos]urally, out of curiosity, I put said phrase into Google, only to find that we are the #1 result (more specifically, Trish’s Thai Food Bounce post from March).

I don’t know what “model Thai food” might be, exactly, but I have some pretty good ideas—maybe you have some ideas, as well? Regardless, we are happy to be the official band of model Thai food, and we’re looking forward to our next culinary recognition in the category of Indian.

Take that, Thai food poseurs!

In other news: Worst nan ever leads to hot hot recordings—After completing a rough mix of our recording from last Thursday, I’m truly excited to throw more tunes in the tandoor to see what else cooks.

Practice: Sunday Edition

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Yesterday’s Model had a special practice on Sunday.  It was an all day affair!!!

First:
Brunch at Taqueria. Yumma!

The food on our table: fish tacos + pork tacos + chorizo tacos + flautas with rice and beans (which Alex ate with his chorizo tacos. quel appetite!) + cervezas

The talk at our table: “Welcome back, Danny!” “How was Paris?” “Good?” “Cool!” “Nice jacket!” “Look, Trivial Pursuit cards! Do you know the fish up north that does that thing that no one really knows about?” “I like art.” “I want a dog.”

Then:
We worked on Alex’s new song.

Followed by:
Alex, Dan and I went for a beer run and a quick stop for ice cream at Torico’s. Dan, sporting his recent Parisian purchase – a kick ass leather jacket – scared parents and children alike as he Fonzied his way to the front of the ice cream line, with our own recent class act purchase in his hand, a case of beer. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jon did some wacky tech stuff (that is beyond my comprehension) in order for us to record our rehearsal for future reference/critique.

Subsequently:
We finished our ice cream, drank more beer, and recorded our progress on Alex’s song.

Fifth:
It was a beautiful day and still light out, so we walked to the park and watched a squirrel pull things out of a trash can, struggle with eating paper, leave his garbage on the tree top, and then scurry away to have other people clean up his mess for him! Typical!

Finally:
We did a quick run through of our other songs and called it a day.
