We Love Craigslist

Hey Erv’rybody-

We just bought a “new” camera on Craiglist after being highly unsatisfied with the several we recently bought and promptly returned at Circuit City. BTW- the staff at CC are a scary lot.

Our new camera has been purchased with our fans in mind. We’ll be regularly posting videos of our performances, low-fi music videos, and silly random weirdness.

The one caveat being that our “new” camera is a piece of shit! A haggled $100 bought us this camera, which evidently has a well-known bug that disables all camera functions under the guise of “condensation protection.” After scouring message boards and blogs, we’ve found that the camera is easily “reset” by taking it completely apart, and disconnecting some crap. I felt like McGuyver last night as I cracked this thing in half and started pulling wires out. I guess it works, but we’ll see. If not, we know where the seller lives, and we’ll go back there and have a nice “chat.”

You can take The Sapiens out of the classroom, but you can’t take the classroom out of The Sapiens.

On our way to breakfast at…

Jimmy’s Cafe, downtown. Bravo!

We Love Valparaiso! Can’t wait to go back! Oh, and a note to the guy who’s garage we fucked up: We’ll bring spackle and a putty knife and put the dude below to work. Whoops!

Valparaiso in a face

We’re still sorting through the photos and getting our stories straight from last weekend. A larger post will follow this one, and until then, know this: the man pictured below owes money and is not to be trusted. Witt saw what you did. Don’t run- Valpo will find you.

Retroactive.

OK- so this is way old, but hey- we’re playin’ catch up!

This photo is from our first show with new (not so new anymore) drummer, D.Fine. We played a Battle of the Bands in Lemont, IL and there were roughly 3,569 bands competing that night. We were 2nd place. We also met Matt’s aunt Jo-Jo from Maui that night and had a blast. Then we ate at Denny’s. Here’s a photo from when we had to wait a bunch of hours for the club to open.

Here we go-

Ok people, we’re livin’ into now with a new blog. (applause)

We’d like to share some of our photos and anecdotes with you, and would lke to hear your feedback as well!

Rock on!
