Next Tuesday night I take my place in the spotlight again to perform in this month’s WYSIWYG Talent Show — “I’m with the Band”:
I’ll be joined by fellow groupies Michelle Collins, Blaise K., Maegan “la Mala”, Josh Reynolds, Giulia Rozzi, and Margot Leitman.
Although I have yet to set a single word to paper (or screen), my plan is tell of the adventures young Sparky had during the heydays of my early 20s, when it was all about Boston’s own Chucklehead. There will be wacky stories about the weekend I was first exposed to the horrors of line dancing, the photos of the drummer in his mouse-eaten underwear, and the night Dave and I realized that the entire band had always assumed he was my boyfriend. (Which was, to be fair, not the first time that mistake had been made.) Oh, such funky days! You should have seen me when I still went to shows and danced. I was pretty awesome.
Pleasepleaseplease tell me you’ll post this after the show, either as a sound file or just text. If I weren’t trapped on the Wrong Coast, I’d come up to see this one. I’d even dig out my baby-blue sailor’s cap and wear it to the show…
Thanks for the link to their website, too. I’m downloading live shows from 1992 as I type this. The thought of listening to Chucklehead on the bus to work tomorrow made my week.
I’m with Zubby. While not the wrong coast, the dreaded Midwest is just as bad. Please!
