Current mood:  exanimate
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

It's a new year. A time for reflecting over the past twelve months and making resolutions in hopes of bettering ourselves and making the up coming year a better one. Well, last year we were in a band called Vote Quimby, and it's time to kick the habit. As of last night we've decided to make the new year's resolution not to rock out any more and we're going to give Vote Quimby a rest. This will free us up to pursue our own interests like John's stamp collecting, Evan's reanimating dead tissue experiment, and Alex will be able to spend more time playing video games.

Seriously though, we just decided it doesn't make sense to keep doing this right now. Don't worry, though. If it's anything like any of our other new year's resolutions, we'll be back to bad habits of kicking ass and taking names in no time. For now though, we really are just tired and are going to enjoy hanging out as friends again, instead of band mates. Hopefully, in light of this, you will be able to accept our personal invitation to you all to see us out with a band by attending one or both of the Last Days of Quimby. We'll be playing our last show at the Ottobar on Thursday, January 25, and our LAST last show will be on Friday February 23 at the Redhouse Tavern. We're expecting both of these shows to be epic, and if you've never taken the opportunity to see us play, these will be your last chances.

That's it. We'll probably keep myspace going, so people can continue to access our wonderful, wonderful songs. Also, we'll probably eventually get around to finishing that album we started, just since it's so close to the end, but don't rush us.... just because we're not in a band anymore doesn't mean we're not still lazy and poor.

If we make any money at our last two we'll finish that stupid disc we recorded a year and a half ago and you can finally have a copy of Fuck Recycling....

So I finally start making it out to some shows, and now you guys are going to leave me high and dry? :( *snif* I'll do my best to get away from the kids those nights and bring a ton of friends to come see you guys.

If BEN didn't mention it... I had asked about the possibility of you guys playing at a house party over the summer. My house. We'd set you up on the big deck (that's D-E-C-K) and have a party with possibly some kegs down in the yard. Couldn't be too late of a night, seeing as it is a family neighborhood and all. Plus my kids pass out at about 8. But I'm thinking if you all could put on a show before sunset, we could all party it up in to the night. I haven't hosted a good party in so long because of the family thing. I'd love to do this (much to Richard's dismay......)

If Shelly, Mike, Chip or anyone else in that group is reading this - they're either laughing or going "uh-oh!"

Looks like I should have made the responsible choice and voted "Sanchez"

I would like to state for the record that the real reason we're breaking up is because we found out that Soilent Green is people.

IT'S PEOPLE!!!!!

Meh...you guys sucked, anyway.  No wait...I was proposed to at one of your shows, you can't break up - you must become famous so I can hang off of your coattails....can I just hang off one, anyway?

Man, I thought you guys were going to last longer than that yogurt in the egg section of my office fridge.  At least you don't have to worry about being around for so long that you could go rancid.  You know what, since this is the Baltimore/Annapolis area, you could get a nice little thing going like doing reunion shows every 3 and a half months like a couple of other bands around here...

Alex, we could start concentrating on gaming together again if Evan and John want to babysit for me.  Not not babysit me, for me.  I can't get the twins to hold the controllers properly yet, plus the constant puking has made a couple of the buttons stick leading to a continuous stream of bullets coming from their avatars, yeilding them countless wins over me and my more subdude approach.

Well, as a VQ alum I am sad to see this day.  You guys have some great songs and we have had some great times together (remember the Snakehead party? yeah me neither)  I'll miss you, I'll miss you all...especially you Scarecrow.

To bad about the band Alex, you better still gather some of your cronies this summer to throw another concert out back. At least now I can come next door more often and place your Wii, (hopefully that machine wasnt the downfall of V.Q.). Peace

Truth of the matter is we broke up because Ben was pissed I beat him in tennis.  (wink)
