So I get an interesting letter in the mail yesterday, from the Courier Post, a local South Jersey paper (probably the biggest in South Jersey, bigger even than the Vineland Times or Atlantic City Press) (But that's not saying much) (But I digress). And in it is a letter of congratulations for being voted One of the Best Live Local Bands of South Jersey.
I'm flabbergasted.
But wait, it doesn't end there. Not only did we win honors in a category typically relegated to wedding bands and cover bands, but apparently there's some big awards ceremony on May 1st, where we'll be given a table where we can set up a display, and where we'll be presented with a plaque stating our hyperbolic status.
Now, we're not used to winning stuff. We've lost so many BOTBs that it's become something of a joke for us. So we're not exactly sure how to handle this victory. I talked to Frank and he was so giddy he could barely talk. Justin had a similar reaction. But one thing's for sure: I'm going to make sure our plaque goes with us wherever we go, prominently displayed on the stage. And we'll point to it and say "See, some people think we don't suck."
I'm pretty sure that's what the Courier Post would want us to do with it.
