Joe G Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Big Fun! FWIW, we tied with Ralston for Song of the Year. Check out the video - we're on there briefly, but mostly you'll want to see the Concussions (featuring Bill Vits, percussionist on This Is The Place) at the end of the clip. Quote
BeBop Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 Hey, our hosts - three nice guys - have won a couple of awards. Would someone care to join me in congratulating them? Or is hail in Atlanta really more important? (Sorry, don't mean to be a jerk.) Quote
Free For All Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Sorry- I watched the clip earlier and forgot to post. Definitely a laurel and hearty handshake to our hosts for being recognized as the MFs we all knows and loves. **CLASP!** Way to go guys! Do you get any free shit for this? EDIT: Duly chastised, BeBop. You are a good forum cop. Edited February 19, 2009 by Free For All Quote
Joe G Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 **CLASP!** A clasp from the past! Do you get any free shit for this? Coupla fancy-lookin' plaques! Quote
Free For All Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 What? No western Michigan gift basket with blueberries and coffee beans and dark chocolate and waffle mix and local wine and whatever the hell else they have up there? WTF? Quote
Joe G Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Sorry- I watched the clip earlier and forgot to post. So funny I forgot to laugh. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 We had a good time. The best part of the Jammies is the opportunity to see the other bands in the area. So much talent around here. Thanks for taking notice. Quote
Cliff Englewood Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 So, Organissimo were the guys with the skull masks and no bass player right? Am I right ? Quote
