Yesterday, Matty (our bass player) declared that we would not work past 6PM, on account of his birthday party. Just as we finished up the vocals on Charley’s song “Lead me to Destruction”, Matty’s relatives arrived one by one, smothering him in grandma lipstick kisses.
It had been a while since any of us had been at a family party where kids make so much raucous. Alex, a sassy middle child, had something brazen to say about everything. Her younger sister Kylie (see below) was the facepaint artist of the night. When I asked if she was still in business she replied “Yes, I’m still in business.”
I never got a chance to take a picture of Gina’s octopus painting, but here are some of Kylie’s other works:

With everyone watching him, Matty opened his presents and last but not least he unveiled a new guitar from his parents: a Dan Electro baritone guitar!
The best thing about this guitar is the sticker on the body.
If our moms are reading this, any photo or info requests? Let me know if you want to know more about what The Ruffled Feathers are doing while we record in Oregon!
