Faux bunnies

Welly well wel well...Lets see here. I tried my best to get someone else to write down a few words and lee was the one who grabbed the torch of love. His grip wasnt very tight and it seems that the torch fell back onto my lap after what he jotted down "erased" somehow.
Onto tomorrow! The only thing anyone can recall about the morning after millys basement show was waking up, doing more laundry and walking in on lee in another basement asleep on the floor. We drove back to...(oh damn i just remembered but before we left, Dave (from the box elders) had brought everyone grapes. sean pigged out because they were delicious.) ...Justbunnies house in chicagogo where we ate oven-baked pizza and watched two more episodes of lost. Nobunnies got in our van, minus justin who was feeling ill since before elk burgers the other day, and we were off to the show. Packed full of gross men we arrived at the Bottom lounge. There was some b-day party and another show going on so we got something to eat at the bar. On the tube was Army of darkness so sean and i geeked out fer a bit. Oh yeah, jackie who is totally awesome for looking after my kitties back home, was still with us and ordered a veggie burger. SUCKED. not only cuz it was a veggie burger, but because it came with a tangy hummus sauce that ruined the whole dish.
Line-up tonight: Yolks, Rock 'n Roll adventure kids, Thee MOP, Nobunny?.
The yolks were just great. sean explains the yolks as "Nobunny covering one of their songs so they're good and also they're poppy punk with more pop than punk. You know...a rock and roll band."
Rock n roll kids - Its Marcos and billy who are brothers and are also two of three backing members from nobunny when we arent stealing that tag. Blew me away. In yer face good time rock/roll superb! i really enjoyed them.
Us - it was alright. its pretty neat that all the kids are singing along to songs.
uhhhh... Nobunny - Lemme tell you about this here night. So after we play i see billy hanging out talking with the stage crew fools. and not like, "hey this show is great" talk, but "fuck...Justin just texted me and said he is sick and wont make it now. He turned his phone off too." People all over were freakin out a bit. This is where we get to the fake bunny part. it was so entertaining to watch all of this come to fruition, i wish you all were there. Supposedly nobunny has come across this little problem before and i think someone like Jasbunny (the guitar player) just sang. This time he did not want to. Also he did not want to pay for the drinks that he had stacked up in nobunnys name. What to do!?! Oh. lets get some paper and make a nobunny mask for the yolks singer to use while being faux bunny. amazingly enough, everything went over extremely well. tons of people cheering, dancing, screaming "You aren't NOBUNNY!" in the front row, Nathan/Fauxbunny screaming back at them to "SHUT THE FUCK UP IN THE FRONT ROW!@!!", sean having a blast and dan wishing he was nathbunny.
Now, one would think that could not be topped, but after parties can get a little outta HAND. especially when they involve roman candles that backfire. Once again i went to the van to nap whilst others went to a house full of loud people with irritable roommates.
I woke up relatively early with eight people wanting in the van at once. They had sullen faces. all of them. Which i thought is pretty strange cuz one of them had a box of donuts with em. Only after dan told me about being kicked out of the house at six in the morning because one of the yolks brought out a firework that exploded making a terribly loud noise and a terribly messy job of his hand did the upset moods make sense. Fun fun fun in the sun sun with us on the run run run. Back to Milwaukee for the wedding which we booked the entire tour around. new post? yes!
