Yesterday, I started with Sydney’s birthday party. Yesterday, I ended with crsty punkers in Fairmount park.
Syd’s birthday party was really fun. It took a lot of planning but she got what we wanted her to have, a great child’s party. Me and Em had on relaxed costumes too.
Right when it was about nap time, Daddy (that’s me) had to go play rock and roll. This show was with The Adicts, one of the biggest bands out of the U.K. right now. I lucked out getting us on this bill because the promoter loves us. Every band that played was way nice, kids were dancing during our set, it was overall way cool.
But what top everything off with a cherry was that our drummer, Jeff, brought over one of the local skater kids from his complex to see us. It was his first rock show ever. He got the full first class treatment. “Backstage” access, meeting all the bands, free water, you name, he got. He told me he got into The Adicts big time like last month.
To make things better, I got asked to get The Adicts dinner by the promoter. I was like the only sober person he knew which made me his number one candidate to do some driving. This worked out perfect because the only thing I wanted to do was talk to my wife in quite. After delivering the food, The Adicts not only knew me from the band before but they knew me and the guy that brought them food.
Now fast forward the end of the show.
Jeff skater kid got a bunch of free swag from The Adicts. Not only that, but the whole band took time with him to introduce themselves and chit chatted with him. The grin on his face is something I’ll never forget.
Viva!
