i'm lazy so i'll just copy and paste today from someone elses blog who has more energy:

tonight was awesome!!!. Before i went to practice i checked my mail and got the ptw and throwdown cds. I didnt order the throwdown but i didnt pay for it so its okay and ill give em a chance. arrived at johns house to find like 10 people there which made it weird to play since we havent played in front of people but we tried to treat it as a regular practice. after a while this old guy that lives in the house behind john walked all the way around the block and asked us to turn down our amps so we did but the urge to turn up for short periods was too much for us and we let our ears indulge. "eyes to eulogies" has become our favorite song....its so awesome and im glad im not gonna just play it alone at the show because its so great with the rest of the band. as we were coming to a close somebody called john and eric said "was that you calling him" which gave me a good idea. i kept calling over and over forces john to sigh and run to the phone. right before he would pick it up i would hang up and call again while he was walking away. after awhile he got two more friends to help him catch the prank caller. after getting an ab workout from laughing so hard i stayed on the phone until john picked up. "hello?"......"youre an idiot john....turn around"...there was an explosion of laughter from everyone and it was great!.. later we tried it on his sister but she looked at the caller id and asked what my last name was so i lied and held onto the secret for longer. went to del and got the usual! came back and we couldnt play anymore so we were looking for a way to keep interested. we started playing on the bass drum and singing irish chants for the neighbor and i suggested we bring out a cowbell. alyssa, johns sister, will do anything so we told her to go to the fence and play cowbell for the neighbor. she mustve played for about a minute straight and it was hilarious, but no one is ever satisfied with what they have so we took it to the next step. we sent alyssa in front of daniels (lurch) house with the cow bell and she played loud and yelled stuff like "daniel i love you and i want you to know im going to keep the baby"....after she did it for the second time i gave her daniels number and she called. i told her just to say like "i love you and i dont care about the 20 other guys" but her comments were a little more ....graphic. it was hilarious!! then their older brother william got home and everyone started yelling at everyone so i tried to lighten people up with lines like "its not a tu mah (tumor)" and "monkey poop sex". after a while william said we all had to go so we got in lukes small ass '87 crx. that was fun...no, really, it was. we sang "so last summer" on the way to my dads warehouse and i think if i worked on singing i could be at least decent.
