Sorry I’ve disappeared this week; I’ve been hoping to get some pictures uploaded from the festivities of the weekend, but kept getting roped into things (Jared was still in town Monday, so we hung out, and yesterday I helped The Maj pick up some Christmas decorations and a tree), and tonight I have rehearsal so it’s probably not happening then, so who knows when I’m going to have time to get them edited and posted, and I know how much you all miss my run-on sentences when I fail to post, so I figured I’d throw something up today and get to the pictures whenever I have time.
::deep breath::
So here’s what went down over the weekend after I stopped spraying greasy liquids from my posterior. Saturday night was the Ychromes a cappella concert, and this year is the 10th anniversary of the existence of the group, so they invited as many alumni as could make it to come back and be the guest group. So Friday evening we had a 2 hour rehearsal and ran through our set-list, realized that we sounded freakin’ amazing, and rolled back to Hearndom II to get our drink on and our snack on. Hearnwife was kind enough to hook us up with sweets and savories galore, and we fired up the Karaoke machine and partied until we could party no longer, and everyone crashed at about 4am.
The next day we were supposed to have rehearsal at noon, so of course we managed to stagger back into Newark by about 1pm, and then rehearsed until 4. We made sure we had opportunity to sing in the stairwell, and drop red Trabant trays down the steps, and then we rolled to Iron Hill for some grub and brews. We had sound check at around 6pm, had a few swigs of Old Granddad, and sat down for the first part of the concert at 8pm. We went on around 8:25, did our set, sounded totally diesel. (Another thing I have to do is get the recording edited and uploaded; with any luck I MIGHT get that done tonight after rehearsal, but don’t hold your collective reader breath.)
After the concert we kicked the Deer Park for a while, and then the after-party at Noah’s which was so packed with people we could barely move, so we gave up and headed back to Hearndom II again where we stayed up until 5 am.
I got up at 8 and went to church. Singing on 3 hours sleep, following a weekend of singing and yelling and karaoke and parties, equals HORRIFICALLY BAD TIMES. I sounded like I’d spent the whole weekend getting punched in the throat. On the plus side, God forgave me all my sins, so I’m told I can get into heaven now, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
Sunday afternoon we went to Courtney’s and watched football until 1am.
Tomorrow: I may have pictures. I may not. We took like a hundred of them, so hopefully I can find 20 or so that are extremely highlarious. I may also have mp3s of the alumni set, assuming I can figure out how to get them all edited (I think I’ll have to download some software, ’cause what I have isn’t going to work) tonight after rehearsal. WORD.
(Of course, now Blogger is having router issues and I can’t update my blog. Argh. Lovely. If you can read this, I haven’t burned anyone.)
da hearn –
So you can edit dat shit. If you can edit TC’s voice crack / pitch waiver in Insomniac, and if at all possible minimalize T1’s on better man. I dont know how possible that is.
