The Concert

Well folks we did it. Chuck and The Wet Bandits took home the trophies! On Sunday, June 26, my band rocked Cataloni's in Rockland with an amazing set that went a little something like this:

  1. Thunderstruck - AC/DC
  2. Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
  3. Easy Lover - Phil Collins
  4. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
  5. I Want To Rock - Twisted Sister
  6. Eruption/You Really Got Me - Van Halen

It was by far the best concert we have ever done, and I want to thank everyone who showed up and voted for us. The best part was, after playing the "Rock and Roll High School" for about 2 years and competing with 18 and under kids, we were bumped up to the "Weekend Warriors" and we had to compete against the 50 and under bands, AND WE WON!!! Once again thank you to everyone who showed up to support me and my band, you have no idea how much that meant to me! THANK YOU ERIN, CHRIS, WILLAMS, MEGHAN, AND ASHLEY!!!

In other news, Ashley Perkins is Awesome. The lovely Miss Perkins visited Weymouth this weekend to attend the concert. She came up Saturday afternoon and then we went to my cousin's Grad party and Ashley got the first dose of the Gage Family, she passed with flying colors. After the party, I had to go to band practice, so she played monopoly with my brother and Chrissy, much to my surprise (sarcastic) they were still playing when I got back. After the grueling game, Jonathan, Chrissy, Ashley and I went on a double date mini-golf game. But as much as Ashley wanted to, she couldn't beat me. Do to a choke act on the 18th hole I squandered my lead and ended up in a tie with Ash, (I didn't want to sleep on the couch that night :P) After grabbing a bite to eat, it was time to call it a night. Ash and I ended up talking the entire night and it was everything I thought it could be. Which brings me to my next point. Communication. If you want any relationship to succeed, all you need is communication. Ash and I have gone 7+ months without an argument and I credit this to our wonderful communication. Any relationship, couples or friends, need communication to survive because through speaking to each other, you develop trust and understanding. Ash and I talked into the wee hours of the morning and it was one of the most amazing nights I have ever spent with her. She learned a lot about me and I the same, all because we are honest with each other and we have GREAT communication! This concludes my speech on communication, now go out and talk to someone right now! You may learn something you never knew!

After the concert, we all hung out at my house and busted out the Oueji board and spookiness ensued. (seriously, who was moving it?) But then everyone had to leave except for Willams (who did eventually have to leave.) But before he left, Willams and I talked until 12:30 and found out how insanely similar our lives are. We both can relate to each other and that is awesome. By the way, Willams is awesome.

Well that concludes my journal entry, I was a little random tonight. I think Erin rubbed off on me a little this weekend!

Keep On Rocking In The Free World!
