What's Up VANDERVOORTS?

TYPING

DAMN was that show at 169 really a whole month ago? Looks like I'm asleep at the blog again. Let's get caught up.

SHOW RECAP: Clermont Taylor, Cats Paw, and Plowing Mud Forever. Yeah, these guys were awesome. Let me make it clear that I don't speak for the Vandervoorts, I met one of them once* for like two minutes standing in line at an ice cream trucked parked outside CBGB's back in the '70s. So when I say something like "Plowing Mud Forever was awesome" that's just my opinion, maybe the Vandervoorts disagree and think those bands sucked. Deep in my heart I know that the Vandervoorts respect every band they share the stage with, but do they like all those bands also? Probably not.

HAVING SAID THAT: Cats Paw was particularly terrible, IIRC.

OKAY, SORRY, I didn't start this blog to say mean things about other bands. I started it to say mean things about the Vandervoorts. So.... what to say? Oh yeah, have you noticed that all the Vandervoorts wear the same sneakers? Sauconys! It's like they think they are Weezer or something! I tried on a pair of Sauconys once, and they didn't provide the level of support that I look for in a sneaker. Leave it to the Vandervoorts to choose a substandard sneaker as the "official sneaker of our band."

ANCHORS AWEIGH: Paper Fleet was a good time, and it turns out these are some pretty stand up fellows as well. There are negotiations underway for the Vandervoorts and Paper Fleet to reunite and play together somewhere, sometime, TBD. More on this to follow, for sure.

CONFIDENTIAL to Kitty Balboa: I've been off my game lately, looks like you are too!

BYE BYE: Well the stock market is just about to close for the week, and I have some positions I need to bail out of before I hit the 4:43 back to Westchester. Thanks for reading, I need the money.

*May not be true.

(oh yeah there's another show in june go look at their fancy geocities site for the details)
