Hey all,

Big week in the Fooled By April camp. On Thursday we played at the Middle East Upstairs to a surprisingly large and supportive hometown crowd. Thank you to everyone who came out and paid the, IMHO, inordinately large admittance fee. When we make the millions, you guys will be the first to get free candy bars. I mean that.

Friday we went all out to support our pals in Scamper as they attempted to ascend to the glorious heights of rockdom that can only be achieved by winning the Beantown Meltdown battle of the bands. They were vey vey good and it wouldn't surprise me if soon they are sending me a free candy bar.

Anywho, Scamper's rock show was at the Good Times Emporium which is this enormous warehouse of video games and white trash located in Somerville. So, being the fun seekers that we are, after the show we sowed our wild oats on some seriously dorky video games. There was one game where you're a trucker and you race against an opponent who sits next to you. That would be good enough, but the kicker is that you get a cb radio that actually works. After a few drinks, this thing is the most fun in the world, unless you're Pete, who I was playing against. Pete is a saint.

The rock weekend wrapped up on Sunday, when we attended the WFNX Collegefest to support other friends in a band called OKGo. They were, as hip hop chefs might say "the bomb skillet." And after their impressive display of rock we got to walk around the fair and be looked at by 18 year olds as if we should be dead due to our old age. It was pretty fun. I also was given a bunch of condoms by a playboy playmate whose title was not indicative of how nice she was to me. I tried to give her a sticker and she told me she didn't want to wear it. I told her she didn't need to wear it, just take it, but she wasn't having it. Before the pepper spray started I got the hell out of there.

Until next time...
