Spills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches

SPILLAGE 7818

SPILLAGE 7820

So, Saturday night was our show at THE SPILLAGE HOME FOR WAYWARD YOUTH. To recap, THE FRENCH TOASTS, CAPTAIN #1, CAMP LOOPS, and GEMINI CRICKET, played a "family-friendly" show that featured a potluck and children's art show. Needless to say, if you weren't there, then you missed a really fun show! But lucky for you, I took some pictures, and even a little bit of video...(no French Toasts footage though, sorry!)

When we first got to the SPILLAGE HOUSE, Stacey Marie gave us a tour of the grounds out back, which featured several vegetable gardens, a two-story shack, a trampoline, the remnants of a home-made rollercoaster, and this rope hanging from a tree that used to be a tire swing...Missy was super excited about the rope and climbed it...she did some aerial acrobatics for the few lucky ones who were there to bear witness...

Afterwards, a few people got on the trampoline. There was a big gash in the fabric, preventing fun-seekers from doing anything too crazy:

Inside the house, there was a lot of art and scribbling on the walls...

Missy and I set up our instruments then decided to go for a short walk...we walked down the street to FLOWERLAND to take a picture of their sign, and to take pictures in the red British-style phone booth (no idea why it's there)...and then we crossed the street to the DUNKIN' DONUTS-slash-31 FLAVORS so Missy could get an ice cream. I ended up getting some sprinkled strawberry-flavored donuts for the potluck...

After we got sugared up, we played our set...and debuted our cover of "Jimmy Carter Says YES!"...Tim and Jenny of the excellent Captain #1 played afterwards...

Then came Camp Loops, all the from Kent, Ohio...the rocked the house with their unique brand of fractured pop kid-friendly pop:

Gemini Cricket closed the night out with some audience-participation-style fun, including a dance (see video below), and a sing-a-long to THE FACES "Ooh La La" (a.k.a., the song that plays over the closing credits of RUSHMORE):

Hey Kids,

All I wanna know is....

Can our government be honest?
Jimmy Carter says yes. Jimmy Carter says yes.
