The Treefrogs are a band that formed in 1992 and for some reason still continues to play.
We were something back when Rock was popular, regularly selling out Belmonts, Berbatti’s, and even The Crystal Ballroom. We were kings of The Laurelthirst Public House, and were so popular that we were not allowed to play there under our own name, as it would get to crazy busy.
Well, we’re still here, mostly in our original lineup plus and minus a few folk along the way. The core is till there.
The Laurelthirst Public House just turned 21 years old and can throw away its fake ID. The Laurelthirst is the home of the “East Side Sound” and has had live music twice a night, seven days a week, for over 20 years, and is famous for taking great care of its musicians. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the food is FABULOUS. It’s a great place to eat, drink, dance, or smooch a date!
Thanks everyone for a happy birthday. I went camping (not swimming!), played an awesome Treefrogs show at the Laurelthirst, stayed up late with pretty Ben & Jerry’s girls, slept in, ate some killer Chinese food at Wongs King Kitchen, had a little wing dig at the crib with delightful and loverly guests. I’m still dragging this birthday business out through the weekend so If you want some of this…
Oh yeah, and Tracy got me this suit for my 40th. She got me a gorilla suit (for realz) for my 30th and this monkey suit for 40. I’m bucking for a big promotion down at corporate…
I’ll be rocking Coos Bay w/ Nichole Cooper and Her New Hot Shots over the weekend, but I’m around…
Yesterday I became an inventor. But I don’t know how to go about it.
I figured I could “poor man’s copyright” them by “publishing” them here on my “blog”.
That way I can say “see I had that idea back in July 2010!” with the added benefit that no one reads my blog or visits my website, so no one will ever steal them.
First invention: THE DOG BOX. It’s a airplane style indestructable black box with a speaker and the constant sound of a dog barking. You hide or bury in on the property of a neighbor whose dog barks non stop while they are at work or out clubbing.
Second: It’s not an invention persay but more a marketing idea. Much like all the Airborne cold tablets whose “statements have not been evaluated by the FDA” that are not intented to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease, my new invention would be some flim flam (vitamins and alkaseltzer) marketed as an MSG blocker.
Despite the fact that the minute soy sauce hits the pan it becomes MSG, and that numerous studies have pretty well concluded that MSG sensitivity is hard to find in a controlled study (must be magic), people still think that MSG gives them headaches and such.
So here is my radio play:
Woman: “I love Chinese food! But the MSG gives me headaches.”
Man: “You haven’t heard about MSG Blocker? [I need a better name]”
Woman: “MSG Blocker???”
Man: “MSG Blocker is an all natural product that works with your bodies natural…you know…whatever…to block the negative effects of MSG.”
Woman: “Now I can eat all the Chinese food and all the chips I want!”
Third: The third invention is an improvement on an existing invention. I was told yesterday about the marshmellow guns that shoot marshmellows. Well my new invention would set that marshmellow on fire before launching.
Don’t steal them!
