What a LONG weekend!
:: 2010.03.02

I think I may have finally recovered from this weekend.  It was a long one!  Joe's on Friday night was so awesome as usual!  It was really great to see Then Again back on the stage (where they belong!)  I was a little scared that Joe was going to drop dead of a heart attack since he plays with both bands, but he rocked through the whole night like a champ!  I think it was about 6:00am when we finally got home (pretty typical for a Joe's night).  Thank you to everyone that was there (especially those of you who stayed to rock out with us till after 2am. . . UNBELIEVABLE!)

After some mcuh needed sleep, we headed out again to J.W. Holsteins in Tinely Park.  Can I just say that it is SO AWESOME to play in my home town.  I get to see so many people that I haven't seen in ages and you are all so wonderful!  It was an amazing night.  The bar was packed, the band was pumped, and the show was firggin' crazy!  Even my beautiful sister Shelly came up to sing with us.

After all that, you would think we would have gone home for some sleep. . . . umm, nope.  We decided to have an impromptu afterhours at my cousin Mikey's house (even though he was asleep).  Frozen pizzas, cheese dip, and bud light: a trio made in hell! 

The next morning we finally got some rest, right?  Yeah. . . no.  Not only was USA playing Canada for the Gold, it was the Buehn's birthday celebration (the Buehn is our sound man in case you were wondering).  What a game!  We were so close but damn Crosby had to screw it all up!  I finally got home around 9:30pm on Sunday night and I was so tired that I couldn't even stay awake for the season premier of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job.  I do remember one scene about diarrhea, but that might have been a hallucination (but knowing that show, it wasn't).

Thanks to everyone that made it out to a show this weekend (and especially those of you that made it to both!)

We're looking forward to a great show this Friday night at Ballydoyle Aurora.  The whiskey will be flowing!  See you then.
