Well, our concert last night in Maple Grove ended up going very well. Thanks to all of you who came out to the coffee house in that abandoned strip mall in the middle of freaking nowhere. I think I saw tumbleweed blowing across the mammoth snowdrifts in the parking lot.
Jon and I had a lot of fun playing, once we were able to get started. Their sound guy decided to take the night off, so we ended up having to wing it and spent 30 minutes messing around with their system to get it up and running. Note the haphazard wiring and the monitor that never worked. We’re just lucky the gig didn’t go Whitesnake on us.
We played 4 songs from Jon’s soon-to-be-released album. All of that means nothing, however, compared to the awesomeness of his hat. Look at that thing – it’s sublime. I am utterly unable to compete with that.
The highlight of the night came immediately after the concert, when I sat down with my friends and fellow musicians Tom Hipps and Gordy Overing. I gave Gordy a copy of my disk, and the following exchange took place.
Gordy: Thanks, man. I liked the songs. Lots of good hooks tonight.
Peter: Thank you!
Tom: Peter shits hooks.
It immediately became evident that Tom’s line needs to become my official press quote. Stickers on the cover of my album will shout:
“Peter shits hooks!”
-Christian Recording Artist Tom Hipps
Thom, get on this ASAP.
That should have been your album title. I am so sorry I missed it, but 2 and a Half men was on.
I think we can all understand the dilemma you were in.
Isn’t O’DYC changing their band name to “shithook”?
I have no idea why Celeste will not link to your blog.
“Shithook 9″ should be their name.
I don’t really blame all the babyblog people for not linking to me. Though we’re all Christians and many of us go to the same church, we live in a completely different world.
Rock TV should make a video about the babyblog people.
hey now. jealousy rares its ugly head… i like my hat!!! and how in the world did “blast from the past” not get a picture or a shout out somewhere in here…. !?
Peter actually skipped work today to search for a hat such as jon’s to fit his gigantic melon… Hey Thom, what happened in two and a half men?
Shoot, I totally forgot about Blast From the Past! What a fun dude!
So, midway through our attempts at getting sound set up, some crazy guy with a bowl haircut and creaky eyeglasses decided to help us out. He spent much of the time muttering under his breath and telling us not to touch anything. He disappeared 10 minutes later.
I miss Blast From the Past…
Jokes at Jon Cryers expense by the rest of the cast noting what a weak parent he is. Charlie Sheen arguing with one of the actresses from Bosom Buddies (not Peter Scolari…someone else) who plays his mom.
I saw the preview and thought they might be needlessly adding characters. Soon they will outcast the Brady Bunch.
What in the hell has happened to my blog?!
Peter, the hats are apparently fairly easy to come by. I just say a guy on American Idol that looked like Fidel Castro wearing one of Jon’s hats.
I made the blog! I made the blog! Now I know the secret… use profanity!!
