^Good to know I wasn’t the only one! ![]()

That’s this Friday night JuanJuan/Juan8/JuanJuan.
Well, … you all missed it again, fuckers. Best night evar, where were you.

I was in the neighborhood, but had much better things to do.
[i]Sarcastro is one of the students of Tick’s superhero class, and he holds the distinction of being the only one to flunk. He fights crime with the razor sharp sting of sarcasm, but he needs to improve his aim as he usually uses sarcasm on the other superheroes as well. Some of his lines are absolutely hilarious, and it’s too bad he doesn’t show up until the last episode of the series; they could have really used him.
Appearances: Tick vs. Education
Sarcastro was voiced by Charlie Adler[/i]

The only thing missing is willyb in the front row. ![]()
(sounds delicious kevin
)
Hey pretty good! nice strumming, especially during that solo ![]()
Hey thanks! I mentioned that comment to Colleen, our singer, and I was like, “who listens to the rhythm player during the solo?” … and she wisely goes, “… a rhythm guitarist…?”

So here’s my recording … it’s a decent representation of us. It’s far from perfect, I know I didn’t play at my best. But it’s us trying to be good, and we were pretty prepared for this one.
I’m the acoustic guitarist, Justin’s on electric, Colleen on LVOX & percussion, Brian O’Connell on bass, Sam Ward drums. An all-original set from just this past Friday night. Enjoy!

We played with our previous drummer Dave for this gig, which was a pretty great time gotta tell ya. Turn up the treble if you can. Solid recording otherwise. I wish we made fewer mistakes. But I’ve been enjoying this recording enough that I thought I’d share it to youz.
Lots of Irish classics, it was a total St. Paddy’s Day party, 100%. Hardly any originals actually. Maybe like six or seven. *It’s eight or nine. We did “Happen To Be” (Kevin) & “Dig The Bike” (Dave) in set 3 for sure.
