we're on a roll

As you all may know, the monkeyboys have been on a roll lately, and no I don't mean like a biscuit or croissant, although I know some of you ladies may like the mental image of the four of us buttered lightly and sandwiched between two flaky layers of buttermilk biscuits, haha. Where did that come from? Anyway we played at Bum's down in Temple last night...which on the surface you might say a) Temple? Where the hell is that? Isn't that some little town near Austin? and b) the place is called Bum's? Nice.

But it is one of our favorite places to play. There is almost always a terrific crowd, no matter how big or small, but last night was a great one! And then there's the fact that the management and waitstaff all think we are sorta swell (or at least they pretend to), and that coupled with a group of friends that always comes out and likes to try and make us sloppy drunk, we got a lot of free booze. I mean like a lot. We had already done a round of JaegerBombs and Christian and I had already put away a couple of beers, when one of the waitresses comes up and plops 4 more Bombs down and like 6 more beers not 5 minutes later....you see how difficult it is leading a rock-n-roll lifetsyle???? Of course, being the kind and courteous rockers we are, we oblige and make those tasty offerings disappear. I think I had like 7 empty beer bottles on my amp and two full ones I hadn't even gotten to when the evil Will (manager at Bum's) came and pried them out of my hands in case the cops showed up, there's this annoying Texas law about not drinking in a bar after 2am, damn you, you politicians...this is the 21st century!!! So to all the fans and employees of Temple and Bum's, we so salute you.

And so our streak of killer shows goes on...so to anyone who made it out last....you rule. And so we are still on a roll, although I much prefer biscuits myself. But "we're on a biscuit" just doesn't have the same ring, you know?
