Star and Micey Incident

I, Danny, did a horrible and stupid thing by accident a few days back. We played at Murphy’s in Memphis, TN with a band called Star and Micey, Geoff, Joshua, and Nick. They were so talented and nice. They stood up in front and watched us. Oh man, look these guys up because they have a great sound. It was like Bright Eyes and Flight of the Conchords. Josh, Star and Micey guitar, walked around the room and had people join in by stomping on the ground or playing the table. After they played a song and people clapped he would say, “Josh and the Empty Pockets,” pointed to us and people would clap again. It was really funny and nice. He even gave us a round of applause when we left.

This is when it happened. It was raining so we jogged to the car, got in, and pulled out. Now, the stage inside Murphy’s is in front of a bunch of sliding glass doors so you can see everything on the the outside. We stopped the Pocket Rocket behind the windows and waved goodbye. I couldn’t help it but when I stuck my hand out the window, out of pure instinct I may have flicked everyone off. It wasn’t like a full on “fuck you,” but I definitely did it. I was trying to do a “you’re number 1,” but I don’t think it worked.

Dear Joshua, Geoff, and Nick,
You guys are really great. I enjoyed your show much. Thanks again for having us play with you. You may have noticed when I left and waved goodbye from the car, I kinda flicked you off. I didn’t mean to. I thought you were great. I was trying to do a, “you’re number one,” and point thing. I felt really bad about it. Again, you guys rock and I am very very sorry. I hope we can play a show again.

Cheers,
Danny R.

I am an idiot.

Last night after our show at Murphy's in Memphis with Star and Micey (which was f-ing kickin' by the way) we arrived back at the Holiday Inn Select at about 1am. We decided that we weren't tired and we burned some steam by walking around the hotel. This particular Holiday Inn Select (they're all different we've learned) has like this indoor courtyard thing that all of the room doors face. We ended up setting up this photograph of us all on different floors and the camera across the way. The timer on our camera only gives you 10 seconds so I had to run from one side to the other. Very first time a wiped the hell out on the carpet:
Rug burn. Yuck. Got the photo tough:
I just barely made it across. Now it was all worth it,
