Richard Allen George...No, It's Just Cheez

SCI FORMAL WEEKEND IS HERE

I'm pretty excited because it's the one show we play where it really doesn't matter. I mean, sure most shows are rough and people are too drunk to notice, but this show...wow. Last time we played Sci Formal ('03) we had a very finite list of songs that we knew how to play and had practiced with our drummer. We played maybe 6 of those songs. Everyone attending Sci Formal just got bonkers. We played Barnone 5 times. We covered AC/DC and the Counting Crows, two songs I never before knew on guitar (or particularly enjoyed)... and I still don't know how to play them. Drunken buffoons were continuously running on stage to sing songs we had never before tried. It was pretty awesome, until I got sacked about 3 times. Even then, it was pretty rad. So for this weekend, instead of practicing for days we're just gonna hope for the best. And I'll be honest- We won't need half of our best for this to be the easiest show in the history of time.

AAAAAAND then there's tonight at Clark. Hi-Fives are opening, and I'm pretty excited since I've never seen them before and they are top notch dudes. Following them is the main event, Sharp Hint of New Tears, the Queen's super-group playing songs by an adult who wrote sad teenager anthems. It's going to be wicked. Closing out the night will be a band called "Croccodile Mile", until I can find a better name for us doing songs so we remember how to play them the next night.

In the words of Dave Messer "If you're going to Sci Formal, come see us tonight so you can see how great we are, because lord knows you'll be too drunk to remember us tomorrow" Also, good luck with your hours, sucker. Remember-going to Sci Formal is fun, as long as you don't dissapoint your date and spend most of the time fighting in the stairwell.

Cambodiana tonight!
