Str8 Monday: Raintree

Our friend and associate Chadwick McFadyen was a great host the other night, reserving the Raintree Clubhouse for us where we had a great show.

The night was momentous for a few reasons...

A) There was a loft. Never before have we had a loft at one of our shows. Look at the great view from above.

B) Marcus was wearing a bright red onesie with a jacket made of an entire sheep. Drummers have never looked so good. I think he plans on wearing the same outfit on his next date. Girls, keep your fingers crossed that you're the lucky one who gets to go out with him dressed lookin that good.

C) Eli came to the show. I think he enjoyed it. See below

(If you didn't know, Eli is my little brother)

Show awards and sidenotes

-Michelle Mettenet gets award for most unauthorized stage entrances

-Sean Madsen got the band autographed set list. True fans will recognize that although "Poker Face" is not on the list, we did in fact play it.

-Blake Hansen wins the management award. Great work even with a girlfriend.

-Katie Wade might be the new biggest fan. She has been doing a lot to make her case. This isn't nepotism either.

-We're starting to trust Chris a lot more. I mean, he is just a bass player and he has only been in the band for three weeks, but he really played a great show.

-Look to hear Jered Robinson's newest rap at our next show this Saturday!

We're Straight Monday, not Gay Tuesday...

Contraversy (the spelling of this word is a controversy)

Controversy has stricken the band.

Some of us want to perform Mmmbop. Some of us don't.

Thoughts???




p.s. Movies and pictures really are on the way soon. Just waiting on a few things...

Separate Ways

Who: Straight Monday

What: Monday Concert Series, Straight as an Arrow

When: October 11, 2010

Where: Manboy's Vineyard

It was our straightest show to date with many memorable events. Like such as....

-Nate returning from his trip in memorable fashion, crowd surfing to the front and pelvic thrusting immediately?

-Josh forgetting the number one fan WWF belt that we had given him only hours earlier

-Michelle Mettenet learning that we actually have a keyboardist (me) that plays.

-Katie Wade foregoing studying and writing several papers due the next day to be there

-Chadwick McFadyen gaining a testimony of Straight Monday

-An impromptu encore, totally unexpected, of one of the greatest rock songs ever. "Separate Ways" by Journey.

Pictures and video are on the way!

As a side note, we have now made a table on our white board in our apartment, Windsor Park Apartment 276! of our biggest fans. Categories include: number of shows attended, number of Facebook statii about Straight Monday, and number of wall posts on the Straight Monday fan page. A possible new category is being considered: number of plasma donations where the money from said donation went to the band fund for new equipment. Ideas for other categories are being considered. This is an individual contest, but remember, don't forget to include your group name. Honorable mentions are included below the table, along with arrows indicating the fervor of their fanhood.

Management awards: Chris Kneipp. His camera is here, he organized a great show, brought the crowds, filmed, made us even more viral than before (we are getting so sick), and provided the venue.

New fan bio: Chadwick Neil McFadyen


We're Straight Monday, not Gay Tuesday




p.s. Recent rumors say that our arch-nemesis, Gay Tuesday, is rearing its nasty head.
