Ursula’s music snob is showing. To be fair, nothing makes something uncool faster than enthusiastic parental approval.

Mr. Dressup

January 26, 2024October 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Glen are talking at the beginning of the Battle of the Tribute Bands gig before either has gone onstage. Glen is wearing his usual: a grey t-shirt, dark jeans, and his signature red bandana headband. Noah is dressed up like Bono (a mishmash of early 90s Fly-era Bono with the big black shades and shiny black leather jacket and pants with early 2000s touches like the open black shirt and cross necklace baring his hairy chest), with his normally curly hair straightened and slicked back. Glen scowls and says, "Playing Mr. Dressup Again, eh, Thorsen?" Noah smiles and replies, "The better to beat your arse tonight, Glen." We see they are up on a mezzanine balcony in the venue and the opener, a Tina Turner tribute act called Steamy Tina is performing in the background to a packed crowd. Glen retorts, "Pfft! Not a chance! It's about the music, not a costume." Noah grins and shoves Glen back, saying, "Ha! The costume is what makes a tribute band. Now, may the best Irishman win!" Glen scowls and responds, "You're not from Ireland, Thorsen, you're from Flin Flon!" Unfazed, Noah replies, "Still." Glen is furious and shakes his fist in the air, yelling, "I have more Irish blood than you!" Noah is still grinning and walking away as he tell Glen, "Don't be a sore loser, Glen."

  Noah seems to think the flatiron is the key to battle-of-the-tribute-bands glory. To be fair, I used to know someone who played in a few tribute bands and a lot of dudes agree with Noah that you have to dress the part as well as sound the part… but there’s definitely a large contingent … Read moreMr. Dressup

Glen rips up Noah's planned set list and expects Noah to learn a bunch of car songs in the 15 minutes before his first set.

The Car Club Gig, Part 1

April 17, 2024August 22, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Glen is already regretting hiring Noah's cover band to play at his car club's show and shine.

When asked what kind of car he drives, Noah scratched his head and said, “I think it’s a blue one.”
