Comments on: Metro Times Blowout – Day 2 (or is it Day 1? Well, I guess it depends on whether you consider the opening party day one, but it is an “opening party,” not a day, but it certainly feels like it was a day, well, a night, but last night was a night too, not a day, okay then “Thursday”).

I’d like to believe it was a total coincidence, but the sound guy confirmed that he did indeed play Power of Love because of my awesome sweatshirt. I was way too excited when it came on, and if I recall, I was running around pointing at my shirt, yelling that Huey Lewis and the News was playing. And to add to the weird coincidences, Megan is my sister.

Matt, you’re totally right. Coincidence, or fate? The answer: Both. Is that possible? The answer: only fate and coincidence could make a sandwich that tasty.

I think one of the girls at the COB show has a Huey Lewis and the News shirt on, that is the SAME venue where you recalled hearing/singing “Power of Love” this can’t be a coincidence.

Oh and I do have a QuizBowl trophy, but it’s less of a trophy and more of a medal. An MVP Medal.

I would’ve danced if Steve Garagiola was there with his Theremin.

Thanks, Megan. I guess we were travailing in the same circles that night. Scillian was surreal. I know there were better acts playing, but Devon pretty much made the night unforgettable, and weirder.

Sweet blog! Somehow I ended up in two of your photos on here. One in the Champions of Breakfast crowd, and the other as “et.al.” with the OFC. I just don’t know how I missed Devin Scillian…
