one hand will wash the other. (damn.)

Good morning, captain.
it's been a damn time since i or Capt. Greebley wrote anything for no one to read, but here I am, breaking the silence. since the last update, we have rocked pretty goddamned hard, if i am free to say so for my self. and i am free to say so for myself.
all three shows we've played (Millard's garage, Brodie's basement, Hey boo-boo, whaddayouthink'sinthatpic-a-nicbasket? (the answer is a fun! fun is inthatpic-a-nicbasket/party)) were kickin'assin'. Commotion in my pants the Ocean are pretty sweet, first time I saw them, and i definitely do not mind. Psyched to hear a bit more from them. Damn damn rock and roll riffin'. And a girl drummer? Awesome, about damn time a girl played some music in Sudbury. Woops. About time a girl played something other than an acoustic guitar in Sudbury.

Intermission:
A-B-C... easy as 1-2-3
or simple as Do-Re-Me
abc, 123, baby, you and me girl.
Outermission:
Candy girl, you are my world.
I need your love each and ev-ery day.
(thank-you)

Last night i had some fun with a bunch'a friends, happy belated birthday to nicholarse millarse. (DOUBLE-ARSE'D, HELL YES/HELL YARSE. TRIPLE ARSE'D NOW.)

And ...a few days ago? Probably. I hung out with Lightmares and Bunnies from Berlin during/after they played to some assorted parents and shitty bands (hello, aberdeen, that's a cool backdrop you've made for your table) on the very stage that the one and only Honeymoon Suite (yes, THE Honeymoon Suite) would play on mere hours, or maybe like, a day, later! Apologies to the Bunnies for walking in during the first song, but as you no doubt recall, I CHEATED THE SYSTEM AND WAS ILLEGALLY IN THERE. MUCH LIKE A MEHICAN.'
And yeah, Nill+Blue jean baby, LA Lay-day+Jessesmith, I still love French Girl about as much as I love my penis.

Oh, a final attack, EVERYONE that was at Millard's' last night is a jerk for playing songs without me being there. I understand WHY you did this... but HOW you COULD do this... just breaks my heart to see those stars smashing perfectly good guitars.

I love you all so very fucking much.

Ask

I know, it's serious.

Hi guys. I wanted to say some things, even though I haven't got much to say. Bot is a lazy beast. A lazy beast who lost his cave. The Incinerator will no longer be our home, we've been evicted (or rather, denied re-entrance by the ...powers that be... (fight the...)) We wrote a new song the other day, or rather, we wrote more to go with a song we started a while back. What came out of it was something completely unexpected, I don't know how it came about, but I really like it, maybe you will too. Maybe. So, everyone's slacks are pressed and shirts are tucked for the motherfuckingarage show (thanks to James, Danielle, James (remix), Nicholas, and Yoda Millard for putting this on, by the way) on the 10.
Y'all should be equally dressed-nicely, it should be a barrel of repeated blasts of fun.
And also, not gonna start any rumours, but there may or may not be an appearance by the one and only Kiefer Sutherland, star of Fox's 24!!! (Again, not starting any rumours... but tell your friends...)

After that, you can look forward to the Picnic Party The Second, on August 16, at Myths and Mirrors. Everyone that goes gets a free awesome time, but it costs 5 dollars. You can't put a price on happiness, and this Picnic Party The Second is Happiness reincarnate, okay? So technically, the price that has been given to Happiness is five dollars. Is that so bad? Hell no, it isn't. In fact, it's fucking awesome. Really, really fucking awesome. You can even get your grub on there, and yes! there is a fully operational brothel not five minutes walk from Myths and Mirrors!!! Tell your friends! This will start at noon o'clock, and the party will be bumpin' long into the midday, and even the EVENING!!!

What I'm trying to say is that:
* August 10, Millard's Garage, 5PM, $5: Special Noise, Lightmares, Bunnies in Berlin and Us! (459 Lasalle Blvd.)
* August 16, Myths & Mirrors, 12PMnoon, 5 bucksss: Lightmares, Us, Bunnies, Newport Trophy Wives, Emily!, Herd of One, Birthday Cakes and Meadowlark Lemon!

xo, stephen.


Oh, and a very happy birthday to my brother!!! (the 1, not the 2... it's past midnight, but it still means today...)
