2009 in review : grace weighs in

December 22, 2009

Via The Street Date (complete with an old EPK video that is new to me and includes some shots from the latest Burlington Waterfront Concert)

  1. Playing music in our nations capital for one of the biggest moments in American History.
  2. Meeting Tom Waits and Lars Ulrich from Metallica at a Jay-Z Concert.
  3. Playing with ‘the new band’ for the first time at the School of Rock in Hackensack.
  4. Discovering the TV show “East Bound and Down” in a basement in New Jersey.
  5. Collaborating with T- Bone Burnett, the music wizard, in Brentwood, California.
  6. Watching Bruce Springsteen blow everybody off the main stage at Bonnaroo. (Sorry Wilco…It was a toss-up, but he’s the Boss.)
  7. Reuniting with our great friends, Gov’t Mule and realizing that I probably shouldn’t have drank the Kool Aid right before going on stage with them in Michigan.
  8. Wandering through Disneyland in costume and on cloud 9 with my whole band.
  9. Making Paella for 40 crazy people and a string quartet in the Hollywood Hills.
  10. Making my favorite record of all time with those same crazy people.

Very nice list from Grace. The video felt uncomfortable at first because it seemed it would only be clips from the former band lineup. Then they finally got to the newer songs. I thought that was Burlington Waterfront. There’s at least one pretty good shot of the audience. Wonder if anyone here will see anyone they know.

What about cooking out for everybody at the Chicken Box until 4AM?

Well I missed this year’s shows at HG. Very upset that I couldn’t go, but sometimes money doesn’t allow us to do the things we’d like to go.

We love you Grace and maybe next year, *cry*

Rock out at least one for me!
