School of Rock

So the School of Rock eighties show I directed was so amazing that I was practically in tears by the end of the weekend. The kids were beyond good and had so much energy and SOOOOO much fun!! Some have asked me when I’m directing again! So that was really nice. Many of the parents were amazed at their own kids and how they came out of their shells and how much the rocked! I loved that!

I had the most amazing weekend and loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to do it again. When we get photos and videos I will share with you all. I found out that some friends of mine came out and I really appreciate that!!!! I’m so happy you got to see the show!

So as a reminder THE COUNTDOWN is playing at Logan Square Auditorium Saturday December 22nd we’re on around 10:00. It’s all ages! Would love to see you all before the holiday so come on out. It’s been so damn long since we played that we can’t be responsible for the insanity that this show might bring….

love to you and yours.

We don’t play this song anymore…it’s a very bizarre song that’s about the only way I can describe it. I’m very curious to get your feedback.

Double Door show video

Our last show at Double Door was a trainwreck which actually made for some interesting video. I actually had to cut stuff out because it was too painful to watch! We were really being mean to each other.
