Hey yo

Ben Collins-Hamel | November 8, 2008

Greetings Red Herring community!

Dave and Ben here (Dave typing, Ben watching Dave type, having a mutual amount of input). Just sitting here, toasting a late-night coffee, thinking of you (not so creepy, really). Well, we're thinking a lot about ourselves too.

Anyway, we had a show last weekend. It was the first one in about...six months? We didn't promote it as much as we would have liked to. It was a house party (Halloween). We were blue - as in blue Smurfs (I don't think they come in any other colors). We also had a new face upon the drum throne. Jeff Elberling filled in at the last minute. He did an amazing job. Jeff had about 36 hours to learn 21 songs (yikes). For all you mathletes out there that's ... one song every 1.48 hours (bam!). Fun show. I mean, we aim to please and overall, we feel we achieved our goal.

Thanks Jeff. A BIG THANKS JEFF. And thanks to all for coming out and having a good time with us.

There will be more shows popping up soon, so keep your eyes and ears alert.

Back to what we're currently doing:

Sitting here at Grand River Cafe, drinking coffee (Ben just got us waters to go along with that). You see, we enjoy late-night coffee runs ( I mean, that sounds weird, ew). *We like running out for coffee late at night. Actually, we prefer driving - I drove. There is a category on this blog thing called "General Rantings" - I'm pretty sure this part of the blog is just that. So, here you go.

Funny story:
Ben hates animals. He killed four squirrels today - w.....Wait. Libel. Blatent libel (btw, this is Ben now). It's obvious that statement isn't true. How ridiculous. Especially coming from someone, who just last week bit the head off a ferret. A ferret!

OK Ben. You're done. And yes, so what if I did? It wasn't raw. I cooked it.

Oh. That's not so bad. I heard Aborigines do that. (Ben again)

OK. Done. We've gone down "a dark, dark road" - Ben's words (Dave typing again here, and from NOW ON).

I could stop here. I could have stopped way back. But, I hope you're glad that I didn't, and don't officially plan on stopping any time soon (Soon, as in, days).

OK. For those of you who continued to read, wow, cool. I'm sorry??
Here's your prize: email us at redherringband@hotmail.com, with the subject "devoted readers", and we'll send you an exclusive video/secret track/hidden treasure... etc. - basically something band-related that you won't be able to get unless you get it directly from us.

THE END??????????

Yea - Dave (and Ben?) Yea.
