T-Give 08'

Of all the days of the year.

One Set Aside.

To ponder FOOD (and our country too blahblahblah)

ABOUT THE FEAST: The Array was Dazzling to the eye and the air was so stuff(ing)ed... I mean thick you could cut it with a gravy ladle,...uhh,...knife.

Here's a plate of (clockwise from 12 noon or midnight your choice) Twenty Four Hour Brined American Turkey, Turkey Skin flanked  by Seasoned Farmery Carrots (slightly below, near where the Westclox logo would be), Homeade Stuffing of the Perfect type,Creamy Mashed Taters with Butter and Sour Cream,Brussell Sprout's with Bacon and Apple Vinegar,a Slice of Bakery fresh Bread flanked by the homeade version of America's Favorite, String Bean Casserole!!! with sauteed Onions and Mushrooms in a Rue (Gotta Love Rue's) and finally at 11:50 the homeade Cranberry Sauce. Yes Virginia There is non-canned Cranberry Sauce (I applaud the folks at Ocean Spray just the same,Lovely products). Things havent been the same since I tasted Kroger's Cranberry Celebration.

And for afters. 

Le dessert (They are saved as "After's" for a reason,mmmm). Tonight we have Freeform Apple/Pear cobbler with an air propelled dollop of whipping creme (at 2 p.m.) and a homeade Brownie with Chocolate AND Butterscotch chips to boot. As well as Tasty Coffee (didja ever notice how a cuppa joe can look quite realistically like a cuppa gravy) which was way under appreciated after such the ordeal of Flavor onhand.

Thank You to Joe and Jenny C. for the Scrumptious and Lovely Meal,Hospitality and Mavendom.

and to the 80's for giving us the Thanksgiving holiday to begin with.

Underscore/Bar East 11/21/08

There was no food to be had at the Underscore but as has been said in days of yore "Gin and Tonic is a type of food". No drink tickets but they knocked a buck off the beverage prices for band members.

I had to have something crunchy to compliment my juniper and quinine concoction and potato crisps always make the grade as do roasted nuts. Bless the people at Planters as the cheaper brands are skimping on the volume in their little fifty cent tubes of nutty joy whereas Mr. Peanut still delivers a full 1.75 ounces and for just nine cents more.

Gobble Gobble like totally Gobble

Happy Thanksgiving everyone from The Airwaves. There is a lot to be thankful for! And we thank you for your support. Remember to spread the word to your families about our gig at BB Kings on December 26th!
Peace, love, and happiness to you always.
Hopefully Animal will share with us another food picture of his thanksgiving feast!

With love, leg warmers, and thanks~Blue Jean

We Got Our Fix For Lyxx!

We had a rockin' short but sweet set after our buddies Lyxx performed at The Underscore this past Friday. And it was nice to see some friends that I have not seen in a very long time! Thanks for coming y'all!

Everyone needs to check out Lyxx. If you love 80's hair band metal mania, you will die for these guys. Not only do they dress the part but they wail on those drums, lick those guitars, and have dead on vocals. Above all they are sweet and down to earth (But don't let that statement fool you. They are demons on that stage!). Tease your hair, find some leather, and check them out: http://www.lyxxrocks.com/

There is sure to be another Airwaves and Lyxx show soon so stay tuned!

Food For Thought

 As is quite often the case, the quality of the food and beverage that a venue serves you has no bearing whatsoever on the dynamism of your performance or the entertainment value that you have provided en masse (pronounced pie:row;ghee), However it greatly enhances your personal remembrance and pleasant experience of the event for a gigging musician or even just plain Nutjob's.

Unique qualities in food and drink play great importance in their roles over our karmic well being and the healthiness of our taste buds, Lest we forget a Happy Tummy creates a Happy Mind which begets a Happy Outlook.

My palate is grateful to the Dive Bar for their tasteful Cheeseburger deluxe and gracious, pleasant service. I was generously offered a booth for my binge (B.F.B.) but it was late and I was bogged down with percussion gear that I had to get back to mission control via train & pronto.

Bravely....unforgiving.... and with no regard for my fellow straphangers olfactory membranes I was given no choice but to eat on the 1 train whilst homeward bound and it was fun too.

Dive Bar Rules The School!

Thanks to Danni, we played at the Dive Bar this weekend. It was our second gig there and it was a great time. They spoiled us and the crowd was grooving along to our sets. We love it when people let loose and enjoy the music. We look forward to playing there again. Thanks Danni and congrats as well!

My Nanny was a Righteous Babe

Hey all,
I just wanted to write a quick blurb in honor of my late grandmother whom we called "Nanny". I was named after her and she will always hold a special place in this pumping heart of mine. She lived a blessed life to the age of ninety-four. It must have been all the Buds and chocolate she loved.
Sadly, she did suffer the last few months of her life but overall, she was healthy and strong. It really was just old age and time for her to go home.
I will miss her tremendously. She was an inspiration. She had the best sense of humor and she was so strong.
Above all, these events remind us of how precious life is. I felt I should share this with you all. We can get caught up so easily with meaningless crap during our daily routines. We can all live a life as rich in family and love as my Nanny did.
Tell someone you love them today.
I am looking forward to performing tonight at Dive Bar for Danni's celebration. It will be a rocking time. My Nanny never got to see The Airwaves perform. Now she can whenever she wants.
