You're HOW old?
The Porktrashers' drummer Mark turned 50 this weekend, and we had a party at Clinton's Bar with The Porktrashers playing (his request). It was a great time, and wonderful to see the outpouring of love from so many different people for a truly great guy.
On the other hand it's so odd the way these milestones events make you give your head a shake at how life changes. I was at his 30th birthday, shortly after I moved to Toronto. We both had different women in our lives, lived in apartments, I was an actor and he was a young lawyer. Now we're both married, have houses, multiple children, and full fledged "careers".
Thank God that the one thing that has remained consistent is The Porktrashers and our low-rent rock, or I'd really think we'd sold out. Or wait, does not recording on cassette tapes any more count?
On a similar theme, Carol met some friends at The College Street Bar during the A Taste of Little Italy Festival, and when one of her friends was in the bathroom stall she overheard a young girl on her cellphone saying "Omigod, don't come here, it's totally lame. Like, it's full of 40 year old MOMS!" What could be worse? Carol's response was, "Hey, I'm not 40 - I'm PUSHING 40."
