On a bus

July 09, 2009

It's 8:15 in the morning and we are on a bus to NYC. Yuck.

Been up since about 5:30, yuck.

So we're going to meet with a potential producer for our full-length we'll be recording this fall/winter.

Needless to say we're pretty stoked (even though the rest of the guys are passed out right now).

Our debut EP is being released in 3 WEEKS. omgomgomgomgomgomg. I'm closing my eys.

See you on the flip.

Dunk it!

May 06, 2009

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Day one of training for the 2009 slam dunk competition. Hello, My name is Seth. I am the 1st chair flute player for Gentlemen Hall. Our bass player Ro and I decided yesterday to challenge each other to a slam dunk competition when the Celtics defeated the Bulls. Rory is 6'1" and can barely touch the net while I am 6' and cant jump at all (gravitationally challenged). Both of us are fully aware that white man "can't jump". The band optimistically estimates that at least one of the two of us will be able to dunk on a ten foot hoop in about 2-4 months. By the way, when the skills are up to par, this is something we plan on incorporating into our live show.. dunking with windmills, alley oops, and reverse slamalamadingdongs. In the meantime I'll see you on the b-ball court. HE'S HEATING UP!!!
