Well the first three reviews for the Tantalus Theatre Group‘s new musical Slide have hit the web-o-sphere and the papers and they are pretty good. You can read them yourself if you want. With some luck the upcoming ones will be positive as well.

Slide is the first thing that the TTG has done that I have not been involved with at all. I realized after watching it three times that A: it’s very good and B: I’m proud of it. Why am I proud of something I’m not involved with you might ask?

Family.

It’s really strange but all of the members of TTG have really become family to me and by extension of that familial connection I have the emotion of pride for something we (the family) have accomplished.

Speaking of family my brother, who I don’t get to see often enough, was in town last weekend and we had a blast despite my nasty bought of what we believe to be food poisoning.

Here’s he and I at the ballpark.

Sadly, this was the one event I had to forgo due to being sick, I left about 1/2 way through batting practice. Luckily I did make it to the Vans Warped Tour the following day and rocked out with the Offspring, MxPx, No Use For a Name, The Dropkick Murphys, Mest, Motion City Soundtrack and the like. I’ll post a few pictures of that when my bro gets them developed.

I guess I’ll have to catch the RedSox next time.
