Weekender Fun Part 2

 Same deal as the first one... although this is probably not as noteworthy. 


Friday April 22nd

Alright so it was Conor, Garrett, and I in the same vehicle and Devin driving separately with all of our crap plus another party member. We were once again going to the world famous Reggie's 42nd Street Tavern in Wilmington, NC. I think I ate two chicken sandwiches on the way there. Also we stopped at a Circle K and someone (surprisingly not myself I suppose) had defecated all over a toilet. Looked pretty bad but I can say just by looking at it that I've been through worse. We arrived at Reggie's. The Mongerz played. They were a two piece. They played some Green Day songs. Their original songs had a lot of guitar solos. Then we played. Then Hyperloops played. They played Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult. Their original songs had a lot of guitar solos too. Then Busted Radio played. The guitar player and singer fella looks like Keith Urban and Tom DeLonge mixed together in a human mixing bowl. We ate at Waffle House after. No Preach.


Saturday April 23rd

We were back home and playing at the world famous Island Bar and Grill. For most of the day I sat on the couch and read Alpha Flight. Well like the 1997 relaunch of the series. I arrived at Island Bar and ate a sandwich. Most of the show I hung out with Lil Ramen aka Young Minivan. Good ole Spider Bucket played. Then Abrevity played. And then ColorBlind Dinosaurs played. Shout out to Pops he's a cool guy. Oh and then we played and I lost my Professional Arm Wrestling Guild Championship to Garrett. I'll have it back one day. I went home shortly after.


Sunday April 24th

Same car situation as Friday but this time we were headed to the world famous Tua Lingua in Charleston. Turns out Primo Hoagie's and Jack's Cosmic Dogs close fairly early on Sundays so we went to probably the most disappointing McDonald's I've been to in a long time. And then we got to the place. Crunch for Time played. Shout out to their drummer Jake because he looks like my buddy Nick. TV Moms played. And then we played. And then Never Any Ordinary played. Obviously check out all the bands mentioned but definitely check out Never Any Ordinary and their new album. We ate some place called Nick's afterwards and I had an above average cheesesteak. Good on Nick's. 


That's pretty much all that happened. I mean I may have left out other stuff just because I dunno you had to be there or whatever. Anyways check out all the bands. Go to shows. Here's a picture:

The Devin Tour Diary 2023

 I spent the majority of the month of November on tour playing bass with Tourneforte. I had a great time and I’m going to recap it to the best of my ability on here. In true Windleyhub fashion, I am not proofreading this.  Day One: Camp Transylvania, Greenville SC  We kicked off the tour in Greenville SC at the third annual Camp Transylvania. This was the third and final day of the fest. We played right after our friends in the North Carolina band Condado, who are super tight and entertaining. We took the stage at 5PM. I usually remember to take my hat and glasses off when I perform since I move around a lot. I forgot to on this occasion, and my glasses flew off my face onto the stage where I at some point stepped on them. After the set, I helped load out gear and had Andrew pick me up to meet with our good friends Justin and Meleah at a Halloween party their friends were having. We got to meet some cool people all in various degrees of corpsepaint, including the legendar...

Top 50 Greatest Things: #49

 My top 50 greatest things Number 49: PS1 (just the look) This pick is mainly concerned with the look of the first iteration of the Playstation. I just like it a lot. Great shape and color and the colors in the logo really pop. Ken Kutaragi is responsible for the development of the console and Manabu Sakamoto did the logo and apparently actual design of the console. I mean it's probably my favorite console even if it's just based on how cool it looks. Most of my favorite games can be played on it. The controllers are pretty sweet too. Maybe not as sexy as the PS2 ones, but you hand me the ones without the analog stick, boy howdy. I was really tempted to buy an anniversary pack at Target that had some goodies that surrounded the console, but I didn't go for it. Someone got me a grey shirt with the logo on it just because of how much I love the look of this thing.

Top 50 Greatest Things: #35

 My top 50 greatest things. Number 35: Standing and crouching to scan a movie selection at any store I love looking at shelves filled with movies. It's a little taxing when it comes to the lower shelves. I do this at Barnes and Noble at least twice a month, but any store where it can happen is just as good.
