Garage Sale

The garage sale that was reported to take place last Saturday, July 14th, in fact took place on Sunday, July 15th. The reason for this was that I was required to paint my cement pool (which had been leaking) and Dustin was required to attend a Prince concert in the Hamptons as a security guard. It doesn't take much to figure out who had the better Saturday there.

So anyway, the sale was moved to Sunday and aside from Mike's grievous sunburns and my stolen cellphone, we had fun and made a good bit of cash. This was not necessarily as much as we'd have liked, but we learned many lessons in siphoning off our trash to the neighbors that day. We hope to have another garage sale soon and this time we will be sure to hang our signs to telephone poles using nails, bring plenty of umbrellas for shade, and really package our merchandise to entice (goth boots and necklace, two for the price of one).

For the next garage sale, I am also going to try, painful as it is, to let go of objects of sentimental value. Hopefully this will prevent me from snatching a musical note scarf from an old lady and haughtily wrapping it around my neck for the rest of the day.



Yours,

Two Fantastic Shows

The Galapagos show was a success. It began with some smooth jazz improvizations with the soulful singing voice of TJ Usiyan. It continued with the upbeat indie-pop of Camera-Head Shark. Lastly, it finished with us.

Afterwards, we went to Foodswings, and I tell ya, nothing tops off a good show like some vegan cheese fries and a soda float.

Even better than that show I think we'd all agree was last Sunday at Mr. Beery's. We played with The Ghost of Lester Bangs and two touring bands from Boston who were phenomenal. Movers and Shakers impressed us so much that Chrisarena bought their seven inch. Then, Lock and Key blew our minds and got us all hyped up to play. Unfortunately, they're breaking up soon, but we're all just really grateful that we got to see them play before the end.

To finish the show, I think we played one of our best performances to date. The best part of course was making some new friends. They tossed us a demo of one of their new projects and we're all in love with it already. Check out Where the Land Meets the Sea.

Here are some pics that Alice took:





In other news, we are having a Bothan Spies garage sale on Saturday July 14th on Wright Avenue in Deer Park, between Leo and Liberty. Some items of interest for sale will be housewares, my old clothes, cushions, and Dustin's old dog collars that he used to wear in his goth days. There will also be vegan baked goods on the premises for purchase.

Thanks!
