Memories from Song Fight Live Weird & Wired
Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:13 pm
Some of my fondest memories from this event. Feel free to share your own, for posterity.
Getting drunk with DJ Ranger Den and InevitableGuy on South Congress. Attempting my "drunken" kung fu form while actually drunk in the middle of Doc's bar, five minutes before they closed.
Getting a text from Ken asking me to tell Mike to move out of the way so he could see the rehearsals better.
Sober's miraculously awesome impressions of Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ernie Ford.
The funky fresh basslines that Sam made up for my songs. Thanks, Sam!
A huge crowd of people chanting, call-and-response style: "Wreck!" "Dom!" Wreck!" "Dom!"
Our epic five-and-a-half hour practice for the albumfight set.
Being among the first to hear some of the songs from the new albumfight. (Me: "I've never heard that one before; it's really good." John: "Yeah, only... [quickly counts the number of people in the room] ...five people have heard that now.")
Leah constantly checking on me to find out how many songs were left so that she and Dorie could spring the birthday cake out at just the right moment.
Getting to perform "Shreds" with some of my favorite Songfighters while Ken watched on the live stream!
"Hey guys, you know that thing...?"
Jeff, rocking out an insanely catchy live fight entry without even bothering to tune the guitar. (Seriously, man, that's still stuck in my head).
Future Boy's face when he won the live fight.
Having my house filled with Songfighters and their significant others for brunch on Sunday morning. And introducing you all to Max and Simon. And making waaaay too much food for everyone.
Geoff: "Oh, man, those were ghost peppers?"
