Dinner with the band
Episode “Mint Juleps”

Sam: Alright so the Gumbo is done, and we are going to make some cocktails for the boys to drink. We decided to day we are going to make some mint juleps. And it is pretty much just syrup, infused with mint, the herb. The components are going to be sugar, water, obviously whiskey. You are going to need crushed ice, and I like to put it into a glass. It is a good vessel.
And there is the mint julep. Alright you guys want to eat?
Everyone: Yeah.
Dominique: Naw we don’t need that.
Sam: Yeah we do. Lets uh… Let’s eat cheers, you off the wagon, you on the wagon?

Dominique: No, we haven’t been to LA yet. I am about to eat this in like three bites.
Gary: I think the first thing on our agenda is to cut a full length record.
Sam: Yeah, I have got like, probably fifteen CDs of your guys. And there all, I swear to god none of them have the same song on them. But they might be the same song they were just recorded differently.
TJ: Yeah we got.
Gary: We got it figured out now.
TJ: We have a full on merch run going, shirts and all that stuff. We got a logo. He drew the logo on a napkin. And I have a button machine, I made it a button.
Sam: Out of the napkin, that’s hot, like plastic covered?
TJ: Yeah it’s this little thing. And then what happened was, it just turned into London.
Sam: So mostly like, I mean I see you guys play like all over the damn city. But you mostly play over the lower east side for the most part.
Dominique: Yeah, that’s our home. I mean we hail from Brooklyn, but the lower east side is our home.
TJ: There are a lot of venues there.
Sam: There really is.
Dominique: That’s where our people are, that were we like to go and get trashed.
TJ: Man the people of the lower east, to them if you have a gig on the west side…
Dominique: They don’t leave that block, and that’s where we hang a lot.
TJ: You got to put the show on the block they live on.
Dominique: Yeah, and well I DJ at Dark Room for a couple of years probably since they opened, so we got a home base down there.
Gary: I also think we are going to start playing Brooklyn more.
Sam: Well the venue just opened up.
