For all those who know me, I am a laughing stock among musicians because I know nothing about music. Nothing. I mean, I’m definitely better than I was. I can pick out Rolling Stones songs now, among other things, even though last night I did think that Jimi Hendrix was Led Zeppelin before quickly realizing my mistake. But for this reason, trivia has never really been a strong suit of mine, hence I’ve never really been into trivia nights. I get it- it’s fun, but not when you don’t know ANYTHING about the subject matter. Just saying.
So when John and I pulled up in front of Fontana’s to unload and my old friend Todd happened to be smoking outside because he was running his Rock Trivia night inside, I was excited to see him but not really stoked about the game. But you know, thinking maybe 3 years is a long enough time for things to change I decided to take a crack at it. John and I sat down with some drinks, my buddy Sean came in shortly thereafter, and then Donna joined us, for apparently the most kick ass trivia team of all time! We joined in 3 rounds late and only played 2 games and came in third! Go Team Stewart! Now, I’m not sure if that says more about us, or more about the other players, but it was pretty awesome, I have to say. Even though John and Sean got most of the answers, I got one (and Indigo Girls question. Yes- yes, I know,) so I helped.
Turns out two of the other bands of the night canceled, so still bouncing from our triumphant trivia win, we decided to play an extra long set. Awesome! So many people came, you guys are great, and it was so nice to see everybody dancing and having a good time. It was a very special night because we premiered a song by our good friend Jim Behrle called “Aloof.” He wrote it, posted it on youtube, we loved it and decided to put the music behind it- we practiced it maybe 4 times the night before and then Jim joined us on stage for it’s first glorious showing. Big hand everybody- Jim did a great job! (Feel free to check it out on our youtube channel.)
All in all it was a really fun night and I had a great time with each and every single one of you. Thanks for hanging out with me after. Next time we’ll play some pool too.
