FUNNIEST MOMENT IN THE STANDARDS – The five of us sat around a table in the Broadway, trying to be diplomatic about choosing some new songs to do. We started out with a piece of blank paper, put down a song and passed it on. If you agreed, you left the previous song on the paper and entered another. If you disagreed, you crossed out the previous entry. By the end of the night, the paper was full of scribble and crossed out songs, but none that we actually agreed on.

MOST MEMORABLE DREAM – Stay in bed – float upstream
