Current Mood: Happy & Jammin’

Giants.  What or Who’s that you ask….an awesome geek rock band that we went to go see on Tuesday night.  I still have “Particle Man” and “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)”stuck in my head.  We had a great time seeing the show at The Intersection; as we always do.  We ended up meeting up with one of my pal’s from playgroup (no the playgroup is not for us….it’s for the kids) after talking about it at playgroup earlier that morning.  I’m so glad that M & J were able to get tickets to join us because we had a great time hanging out with them.  Not that we don’t love our children, but it’s always nice to get out with adults and discuss adult things.  We found out that we had a lot more in common than just belonging to our MOMS Club, and our daughters being great pals.  Hopefully we’ll be able to hang out again soon outside of playgroup.  The show was awesome, as I said, despite the opening act sucking…badly.  They were a 2 man band (literally) playing instruments over a loop (bad ones I might add), and they even used an air horn during a song to see if you were paying attention.

The pictures above are not from our show, just ones I saved by searching for They Might Be Giants in Google’s Images.  We tried to get a couple of pics on our new cheap bar cams….but the camera’s turned out to be just that - cheap.  Apparently the pictures we did take were quite blurry, and the videos we tried to take didn’t come out that great.  Which is a bummer, because they played “Alphabet of Nations” one of Clare’s favorite songs.  Yes, people, this band is Kid Friendly - one of the other great things I like about them.  They even have a couple of kid albums out, one entirely about the alphabet “Here Come the ABC’s”.  Clare loves to sing them, especially “Flying V”.  Most of their songs are about things that you learn about in life - real things, not just love and heart break, and how to shake your booty…one of the reasons I call geek rock.  That and I’ve never seen so many guys in one bar with striped sweaters on in one night!

Oh, and if you’d like a free listen and another site to look at feel free to check out their MySpace page.
