Absolute Blue Invitation 2/04/22 - 2/05/22

Absolute Blue Culinizes

It’s hard to imagine, but there was a time when The Worst Band You’ll Ever Love struggled in the kitchen. I remember a time when Skip had forgotten the au gratin, Bill spent hours online looking for a cheese grader, Don went to a priest to get his cream pastorized, Kevin attended mass to pick up some balpsalmic and Tom had nothing else to do so he made boredelaise. Sure, we’ve made our share of culinary mistakes in the past but with our shared experiences our skills have really improved. At our regular Tuesday night recipe swap we wanted to add something to spice up our sauce, so we tried cooking with Sherry but she was really no help at all. I was thinking about trying Brandy because as we all know, she’s a fine girl, what a good wife she will be. And as you can see from the following, there’s a serious risk of bisque:

-Don perfected his sausage recipe to the point that he was at his best when he was at his wurst.

-Kevin created a special marinade just for mutton that he calls Lambbaste.

-Bill pleaded the fifth multiple times when patenting his line of juices from concentrate, making them officially reconstituted. 

-Skip developed a series of raw meat dishes and often refers to himself as the Tartarist Guitarist.

-Tom’s not sure what to serve with Leeks, depends.

This Friday we play Cape Canaveral Friday Fest, a family street party with food vendors, beer/wine and kids activities, on Taylor just off A1A, from 6 to 10…

Then Saturday it’s back to Mainstreet in Downtown Melbourne from 6 to 10…

Absolute Blue Invitation 1/21/22- 1/23/22

Absolute Blue Novelizes

During our recent time off we decided it would be a good time to catch up on some of our reading. And while Bill prefers historical fiction, Kevin reads mysteries, Tom likes biographies, Skip sticks to political non fiction and Don mostly reads labels, there is one thing we have in common: Romance, the trashier the better. Like those ones that have the exposition on the cover, like “He was doomed from the very first taste of her…Apocalips!” Or “Two couples meet at an art auction that turns to romance in…4 Biddin’”. Or “Her unrequited love with her local priest led to an…Obsession with Confession.” But the best were the ones Tom brought last time we played:

-Her affair with a field hand turned spy could bring about Farmageddon in…’50 Shades of Hay’.

-She couldn’t stop reading QR codes in…’Scandalous’.

-What started as a casual vegetable encounter became an obsession when she was…’Seduced by Produce’.

-The smoldering story of Nicolas II…’The Fault In Our Czars’.

-He worked at Tire Kingdom…She was at Discount Tire…Together it was ‘Inflatuation’.

-She couldn’t stand to look into the sad eyes of a homeless cat….She was ‘Instraysiable’.

-Her love for Atilla could not be contained as she gave in to…’The Hunger’.

-He despised his father’s new wife so much he exiled her to the highest tower of the castle…One he called ‘Mothering Heights’.

-He longed to be free of the throngs of sports gaming enthusiasts…Where he could truly be free…’Far From The Maddening Crowd’.

Join us for a Friday at Malabar Mo’s from 7:30 to 11:30…

And Saturday at Mainstreet from 6 to 10…

Then a rare Sunday afternoon at Squid Lips in Melbourne from 4 to 8…

Absolute Blue Invitation 1/07/22 - 1/09/22

Absolute Blue Occupizes

It has become apparent in recent months that performing is a young man’s game and at some point, the years, or the mileage, may get the better of us. Because it’s never too soon to start planning for the future, it may be time to anticipate our careers after Absolute Blue. However, our research into the current job market has been a bit perplexing. Went to a ‘dentist’ the other day and still have a cavity but the crease in my quarter panel buffed out nicely. Called about a bouquet for my daughter’s wedding and got a recommendation for a nice oak Pergo from the floorist. And after consulting with a contractor for a remodeling job I’m still picking up after the 2 llamas the arkitect brought. I went to get my shoes repaired and came home with a peach dessert. In thinking more about this, which is always a problem, we have come up with the following questions:

-If you sedated a patient for a colonoscopy, are you the Anusthesiologist?

-Couldn’t someone that checks to make sure your steak is cooked to the proper temperature be called a Meateorologist?

-Wouldn’t a Wide Receiver position be considered a Receptionist?

-Could a high achieving mortician would be considered an Overtaker?

-Would an administrative assistant with a drinking problem be a Triple Secretary?

-If you were a heart doctor that treats female rappers could you be a CardiBologist?

Anyways, please join us for a Friday night at Mainstreet Pub in downtown Melbourne from 6 to 10…

Then it’s a Sunday afternoon at Island Time in Cocoa Beach from 3 to 7…
