We put up a song we learned and recorded last spring on the Slumber Party site.  Check it out here…

1. Going to Chicago in early summer with Honeybee and Lindsay to play a show with Colour Revolt and Snowden and staying a few days there with our amazing friend Erin.  It was amazing, we also got to meet and hang out with some of Lindsay’s good friends which was  blast.
2. Going to L.A. with Lindsay to visit the ridiculously awesome Laura and her other amazing friends.  There were beaches, Pink Berry’s, Family, Ooga Booga, Laura and Lindsay obsessing over a waitress and how cool she is, Lindsay doing a flip in a huge wave and water poring out of her nose a few hours later, and many other fun happenings.
3. Honeybee and Bear Country getting a residency at the Bemis to work on our albums!  Five to Seven practices a week is killing me but it is worth it!
4. Hanging out and falling in love with all of the Honeybees!  Such awesome and nice and caring and cool people.
5. Moving into a beautiful house with Lindsay!  Pictures to come.
6. Hanging out with K.C. more.  So fun!  Nature drives, grilled cheese at B&G and tons of Mount Eerie listening.
7. New co-worker!  Matt is suuuuper rad!  I hope he stays for a long time!
8. New what-cheerio!  When did this happen?  I can’t remember, but hes very good!  I envy his action-script skills.
9. Turned 24!  This was five days ago.
10. Last two Mr. 1986 shows ever :(  both were on my top 10 shows of the year list though!
11. I will maybe add to this list in the future

So we put together an album of Mel’s original recordings of our songs.  We did all the design and packaging in less than 4 hours!  I really like how it turned out.  Mel’s recordings are so amazing.  They are $7 dollars and are limited to 100 copies.

We got the new Honeybee and Bear Country shirts in. Heres a look at them.

So my oldest brother told me a few years ago that I am deathly allergic to bees. He said that when I was younger I got stung in the neck and I almost died. I am not sure if this is true (although my mom backed him up so it probably is). Well, ever since he told me that, I have been extremely afraid of them. Today in the office there was a wasp. It was scary (weirdly, Dave was watching “Bee Movie” at the time.) but Dave and John Henry saved my life and took the Wasp outside.

Here are the two heroes in action!

Meet & Potatoes was at SecretPenguin/What-Cheer this month and it was amazing. I met a lot of really nice designers. It was a really really good time.

I had to duck out a little early though to play a show at Slowdown with Honeybee. Our good friends Pomegranates and Capgun Coup played as well, it was a really fun show. Capgun Coup is soooo amazing.

This week Honeybee was the fifth installment of the City Weekly’s “Meeting the Band” column. They interviewed us after our show last Friday at the Box Awesome in Lincoln. Here is the first page of it. Will Simons did the interview, he’s a great guy, and the amazing Lindsay Trapnell took the photograph! Mom, if you want to read it they are available at gas stations and Hu Hot’s all around town!
