The Minni-Thins

Seattle. Day 5.

Crossing the border from Washington state into Canada, my sister and I were greeted wth "What's your purpose in Canada? Enjoy your visit." We did, however, witness some good old fashioned racial profiling, as a black father and son, well dressed, driving a Kia, stood in front of their open trunk, birth certificates in hand, armed gaurds rooting through their cooler.

Coming home we were greeted with. "Where's your birth certificate? Passport? Can you prove to me your an American citizen? Where do you work? Where were you born? Can you give me a good reason not to turn you over to the INS?" My sister's husband works for the department of homeland security. It says so on her United States Of America military ID.

Don't worry, though, we weren't searched and I brought back some swell Canadian pot.

Anyways.

Who would have thought that "Sugar Daddies" would be a gay bar?

Vacation rules. I'm having an absolute blast and have seen some great shows. I'm seeing Built To Spill Monday at The Showbox in dowtown Seattle! How fucking cool is that?

This just in: The Minni-Thins Manager still sucks...

Seattle. Day 2.

My first day here found me looking for a way to occupy my morning until my sister got off work. I went to a grand place you may or may not have heard of, I don't know. They had everything. They called it "Target," and it was wonderful. Afterwards, I roamed the mall and went for a fifteen dollar haircut at another Seattle staple, "Super Cuts," and asked where I might go to kill some time and maybe get some breakfast. They recomended "Target", "McDonalds", and "Subway". I went to "Old Navy" instead, and while at the counter I asked the ever-so-trendy clerk if there was anything in walking distance I should check out while visiting. He suggested "Target", and so did the girl at the next register.

I'm having a great time and writing new songs as well. I think I could see Damon's house from the Space Needle.

More later...

To Do...

Yep. I like it.

New Drunken Monkeys Demo

Straight from the attic studio of Mr. Wells, I proudly present **Aaron's Song** written and performed by 3/5 of the Minni-Thins. Are the Drunken Monkeys a Minni-Thins sideproject? Or, is it the other way around? Either way...the song is money. So, what I'm trying to say is the song is like a bear and you are like a bunny. We don't want to hurt you, just bat you around a little.

say no more...nudge nudge

Damn. That is a cool picture. Nice job Kevin...

Alright Minni-Thins fans (do we have any?)... I've been working on this logo for a while. I am now submitting it to you for a proper critique. Rip it to shreds. Offer suggestions... I can take it. We are planning on buying stickers and T-shirts, so we want this to be good. Click the little comment link beneath the post and fire away...
