I was in no mood to lose an election for the Prime Minister of the Super Robertson Supper Show. I had challenged Cam and Jesse to do more at their SRSS and so they answered with 2 great guests and an election with real ballots and campaign buttons... I had a suit and was shaved... the shaving was because i had to play the SRSS the week before with one side burn after my sacrifice to the hockey gods... remember? But my big bushy eyebrows helped carry the day giving me an aura of elder authority. I also made the point of cornering everybody and pressuring them to vote for me... I also bought some votes (with beer) and demonized the opposition with relentless attack propaganda predicting that an unreasonable cover charge would be instituted on the supper show if we were to elect a reckless coalition and not a strong Majority Super Robertson government.
Super Steve, who happened to be celebrating his birthday, kept his cards close to his chest and let me know that he was considering voting Cam or Jesse, because he "liked those guys". I considered wetting a rag with a little chloroform and grabbing his ballot but rather i feigned friendship with that old coot and we drank heavily and then i sprung the new 21 Tandem Repeats album on him and soaked the bastard for 20 bones... even better Drill happened to be walking by and i plucked him for a ten spot.
Lets just say i was on a roll for sure.
Chris Kelly played:
I think this might have been why Super Steve sent his Vote to the Super Robertson party... the Cam and Jesse slow dancing was a perfect working example of a joke that had far more time to run it's course than it needed... and then what do you do? Chris Kelly has a great voice and a knack for writing powerful songs.
Cam, Jesse and Chris Rzepa played a little number called "seduced by your flute"... or at least i assume it was called that as it was a recurring line in the song... good stuff.
And then it was Jenny Ritter- Live at the Super Robertson Supper Show
Apparently Jenny runs a rock and roll choir and actually came to the "queen Anna choir" that i belong to. No doubt about the fact that she is a monster talent. Unfortunately some Jackass from one of the bands that was going on later was jabbering away at the back about something that was totally not important at all. It's funny you go out to play music... most likely you have invited people out to see you play and you get to the club and some woman is on stage with a guitar just killing it and you decide that you need to loud talk to your band mates about how you are going to orchestrate your greatness on stage tonight totally killing a little moment for like 25 people. Here is a tip folks... there are 2 other rooms in the club... if you find yourself in one room where everybody is stone silent listening to something, then please go flap you gums in one of the other rooms. I realize it is Vancouver and that's what we do out here... but if you are in a band perhaps you could help lead the change by showing a little respect in these rare moments in time.
On Wednesday may 11th 2011 we have a guest by the name of Jason Sylvester: http://www.myspace.com/jasonsylvester
What else i have going on we will have to see... i was a bit wary about this SRSS as Game 7 was scheduled for the Canuck / Predators series and had the Canucks not won the other night the city would be in a different state. But alas Canucks won in game 6 ... so bring on the entertainment.
There was probably nobody more relieved than Mule Hughes when he found out he didn't have to lay another stick job on the 21TR juggernaut ...
