Seth in the Hat

Check out Seth's sweet get up for Dr. Seuss' birthday!

Surgery for Seth

Seth is having surgery on Monday. Both of his ears are completely blocked,
he is only hearing at 40 to 50% out of both. They are taking out his adenoids and putting tubes in to drain his ears. They are pretty sure that the blockage is the whole problem, and once we fix that his hearing will be back to 100%. Cross your fingers for us that all goes well!

Passafire was Awesome!

The Passafire show was pretty sweet, but I don't think we will be adding the Reggae circuit into our regular rotation. Those songs seem to be awful repetitive, and go on forever and ever. Do I love Ganja weed? Maybe, but you already asked like 5 times, get on with it already. Are they just too high and don't remember? Also, for the record, there is something icky about a white dude rocking knee length dreds. I will say that Passafire may have the hardest working roadie I have EVER seen, he was Johnny-on-the-spot setting up all the gear, he was busing drinks off the front of the stage, and when the bassist knocked over his mic stand in a flashy turn, he caught it before it hit the ground! He was on fire! Here is a pic Randy took, and some video compliments of Renaford91. See if you recognize anyone at 1:29 or so :) Enjoy!

History Revised

I was volunteering in Seth's class today, and they were working on a project for President's Day. They had to write a sentence saying what they know about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. So I am helping my friend Wyatt with his, and I ask him, "What do you want to write about, what do you know about Abraham Lincoln?" He tells me, "Well, he saved the Earth in the great battle." I was like, huh? I ask him, "What great battle?" And he looks at me like I am dim and says, "You know, the great BATTLE." So that's what we wrote :)

Adam says he is probably confusing this with when Cyberlincoln saved the mole people. The history book people need to get on this, I totally missed this in History class!

D.R.U.G.S. was the bomb!

The S.I.N. tour was pretty sweet, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows put on a GREAT Show!

Thank You Orlando, and Good Night!

Merry Christmas! Check out Seth breaking in his new drums! Enjoy!

Now THAT'S My Kind of Christmas Carol, Ya'll

Is there anything those Family boys can't make better? I can think of no better way to get into the holiday spirit than rocking into the holidays like this! Enjoy!

Let's Use Some Judgement, People!

So, Adam and I went to The Next Big Thing in Tampa this weekend, it was an all day concert at the Tampa Fairgrounds put on by a local radio station. It was pretty sweet, we saw Bush, A Day To Remember, Taking Back Sunday, Cage The Elephant, Foster The People, Young The Giant, Manchester Orchestra, Sublime, Khora, The Joy Formidable Grouplove, Sleeper Agent, Fun & Awolnation. With the exception of Sleeper Agent (terrible) and Sublime (no one wants to hear your crappy new stoner music, play Santaria or get off the stage), they were all pretty good. We were there mainly for Awolnation, which may be Adam and Seth's new favorite band (sadly, Seth stayed home with Wicky Rabbit, we feel he is still too young for the rock scene quite yet), and were able to get right up front for them. But here's the thing, and be forewarned this is where the old person rant starts, what the hell is wrong with people? I am all for rocking out and having a killer time, and if you have no objection to a bunch of strangers groping you and you want to crowd surf, you go for it, but can I just say there should be some rules? For all you kids out there who are planning to partake of this at the next show you go to, here are Adam and Mellissa's rules for Crowd Surfing:

1) Assess the crowd: if it is full of skinny little college girls, maybe this is not a crowd surfing kind of event;
2) If you are over 150 lbs, maybe you should not be depending on a bunch of strangers to hold you over their heads and transport you anywhere safely;
3) If you are wearing combat boots, maybe jumping into a crowd and having your feet flailing near peoples heads is not a totally safe idea;
4) Why you would go to a concert barefoot is beyond me, but if you do, why do you think I want your dirty hippie feet near my head?;
5) People are there to see the show, not be your personal crowd surfing moving walkway. If you want to crowd surf, do it once maybe twice, and call it a day. I don't need to pass the same fat, pink haired girl over my head 6 times during the same song. I'm glad your having fun and all, but give it a rest and let someone else have a turn. I bet you hogged the slide when you were a kid too, didn't you, chubsy?;
6) Take heed if the singer of the band announces that he is going to crowd surf, because if he dives into the crowd he is totally gonna get dibs, that crowd is going to drop your ass (happened during Cage the Elephant, and it was hilarious, that poor little girl straight up disappeared onto the floor).

Just Saying. Rant over :)
