anderson council
 |
It's a great day to be in New Jersey. I blog from the backyard of Rob Farrell, bassist for The Anderson Council, where the band is blasting the old neighborhood with their beer-and-barbieque-softened retro sound. Not four feet away from me sits the Nightfly, who showed up late, but plenty early for the music. He brought a dessert called "Happy Mouth," which, considering the laughs it has provided us, is as good as the label advertises.

Suddenly, with three of my favorite bloggers sitting here, It occurred to me that I could blog this backyard concert in progress. I stepped out to the car, retrieved my laptop, and dispatched newshound Dawn Eden, cameraphone in hand, to photo-document the good Council in action.

If you're reading this on Sunday afternoon, be jealous. I'm here with Dawn and the Nightfly and the Anderson Council. As Peter Horvath (lead singer and guitarist) says, "Have fun and be drunk at work." This blogging from the backyard is nice work when you can get it.

Oh, that is cool! (little shivers go up my spine) But I am NOT jealous! I just met three internet friends of mine in Phoenix and they are SO cool we started OUR OWN BAND! (Top that!) :P
(Miss you, a little bit, big bro. When you back in town?)
Nice job on the pics, Dawn. : )

I was there, I saw it all. Good times.
BTW - it wasn't Lewis' Pilgrim's Regress, it was Chesterton's Orthodoxy, chapter 2: "This is why the new novels die so quickly, and why the old fairy tales endure for ever. ... The fairy tale discusses what a sane man will do in a mad world. The sober realistic novel of to-day discusses what an essential lunatic will do in a dull world."
Speaking of enduring, the above was written ninety-seven years ago. Truth is never fashionable, but it doesn't need to be; it has everything else going for it.
Hope to chat again soon!
