Long Winded Post: Clementine Friday June 3rd!

This post got really long here is the cliff-notes version: The show tomorrow is going to be good, you should come!!!

If you haven’t heard me flapping about our show at Clementine this Friday you have come to the right place to play catch up. 
Last summer I randomly went to a show at Clementine alone, I couldn’t find anyone to go with me and I wanted to check out the opening band, so I told myself “self you are 27 years old, put you your big boy pants and go to the show, bars aren’t scary, in fact you enjoy them, you like music, stop being a baby and go watch this band.”  So I suited up in my summer wear, bid my lovely wife a good evening and started my walk down to catch the show, as I walked I continued to work on internally convincing myself that going to the show was what I actually wanted to do, finally as I skirted the Rose’s parking lot my internal argument (who am I kidding I am sure I was mumbling to myself as I walked) was settled.  I compromised with myself deciding that I would go to the show, watch the band I forced myself out of the house to see and then check out one American Aquarium song, decide they weren’t good enough to keep me from sport shorts and TV time, and then I would turn around and head back to the house.  That plan ended up having a flaw, American Aquarium hooked me at song one, and next thing I know, I am waiting for them to begin their encore.  Since then I have done by best to catch them when they have come through town.  All that to say, they are a solid band and are worth checking out, in fact we play with a lot of solid bands and I am sure if you read over our post archive I haven’t been this long winded about any of the other ones. 
That is my story and plea to convince anyone on the fence that tomorrow’s show will be solid, we have some new songs, there are beers and great food there, some of your friends will be there, how can it be a bad idea to hang out on Friday night?
