Current mood:  amused
Show Report: Saturday May 23 at Neutral 
- we found out about this gig 23 whole hours in advance
- the night before Mandy's birthday is a great time for a party
- the bass player from the band on right after us sang The Love Boat theme really really well!
- he totally crushed on The Harlot. (the bass, not Mandy)
- strangers bought us shots. that = good.
- we danced until kick out time. (as opposed to being kicked out, like last time)
- we played like a bag of jangle, and it all worked.
- then we got stupidly drunk and giggled in a cab all the way home.
- Mandy quote "Best Birthday present EVER". (well, except for the puppy)


Show Report: Sunday May 31 at Teranga - Pitter Patter Festival 
- a shot of tequila 5 minutes before you sing really does open up the pipes
- Mandy had to shame Cyn into drinking it by buying a round for everyone
- Cyn's sisters came all the way from Kingston. they should come to all of our gigs!
- we played well, and Cyn managed to "joplin" her way through the high notes.
- our three brand new songs went over really well. people snorked through them.
- the clambell solo was great - the lovely door gal Eileen was amazing!!!
- the big rock song at the end was smashtacular. according to the sisters, the next band at the table behind them were screaming along even louder!
- then we had a beer, enjoyed the other bands, then toddled over to Sneaky's for chicken burritos. what, it was a Sunday night and we had to work in the morning, plus had another gig on thursday... we can't get unbelievably trashed EVERY show, right?


Show Report: Thursday June 4 - Buddies in Bad Times Theatre 
- Roy has been a drummer for 20 years, has played everywhere, with everyone, toured extensively, yadda yadda. He was impressed that this was the nicest, biggest, cleanest dressing room / green room he'd ever been in.
- the burlesque and boylesque was awesome! the singer/sax player was awesome! the lit up hula hoop girl was awesome! the room was filled with brilliantly fun people.
- we played really well! we had people singing, Mara was awesome on the clambell solo, people were bopping around.
- then there was that whole incident with Cyn ripping off Mandy..s tutu so that she had to play the last song in her bikini. (see myspace for video) heh heh. oh - and auctioning off ass grabs for charity... except people BIT her ass instead of grabbing it. what's that about? hope they didn't hurt their teeth. but it's for charity, so anything goes. ANYTHING.
- Roy had requested more nudity, and we must keep the drummer happy!
- then we danced for an hour to Slave to the Squarewave, Mandy still in just the bikini & fur boots, and Cyn barefoot. and on stage for one song.
- really, dancing to Slave to the Squarewave was all we were there for.
- we had heard that Doug, the Squarewave drummer got distracted by chicks, so we were trying to make him miss a beat. Cyn was even... let's just say "molesting" Mandy at one point, but Doug the pro just stared calmly and kept drumming. we'll get him next time, by crikey!
- oddly, we weren..t even drinking. just skanky.
- BEST. GIG. EVER.
