Hello people of the internet....
Behold, for I bring you tidings of great joy.
Wait, no, come to think of it I don't bring you joy, I bring you famine, death, pestilence, and news of the obvious.
THE ALBUM IS DONE AND PLAYING RIGHT NOW!!!
Said album was debuted for the first time at my birthday party last week, and although I had a blast doing it, it made me reminiscent of the good old days. The response was much better than I expected considering how much alcohol had already been consumed, but I have decided to put together an album debut dream team, since the Kansas homies couldn't be there.
It would take place probably at me and Craig's place on Sunset, there would be a keg of crappy beer which Johnny would drink nealy by himself. Several of you would bring Crown Royal and I would grow queazy at the sight of it. I would be forced to hide bottles of good beer under my bed, to keep you mooching bastards from pinching them.
Half of you would be late and someone would be yelling "put in the Simpsons!" I would yell that I'll do it after the album. Spontaneous Simpsons lines break out everywhere, making more noise than if I had actually put an episode on. Eventually I crack and put the Simpsons on, until everyone else shows up.
In attendance would be (in no particular order and prorated to Kansas in 1998) me, Craig, Danny (miss ya buddy, hope you like it), Greg, Col. Sanders (who actually has been a fan of our music longer than we have, that means a lot man seriously), Walker, Rob C., Ryan A., Bill Dewey, Currie (although I'm not sure we ever wrote a single thing he enjoyed), Mark (see Currie), Adam, Johnny, Wes, and Morry, Keith, Hoss, Dan-O, John and Trish, Stickman, Calamungi, Travis, George, Lewis, Marty, Dave Yount, Mike, and a handful of people who were always at the house, yet I always struggled with their names. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few people, and I'm sorry. It's been 10 years, give me a break.
Well anyway, I'll listen to the album and hoist a beer for each of you at some point in the coming days. Miss you guys, thanks for still paying attention.
Cheers you guys, wherever you all are.
