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

Lacemaking With Ruth

June 12, 2024September 22, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Adam is learning to make bobbin lace from Ruth and being gleeful to have escaped bass duty.

Careful, Adam: bobbin lace is just the gateway drug. Next she’ll be pushing Irish crochet. Eventually, she’ll get you hooked on the hard stuff like needlelace.

Adam’s Disguise

June 12, 2024September 20, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Adam is wearing camo so no one will know he's playing in Noah's Creed tribute band.

I guess this means Noah isn’t looking to change up the band’s styling.

The Bass Trap

June 12, 2024September 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Noah lays a trip on Adam to get him to play bass for his Creed tribute band.

Adam’s starting to regret all those hours spent practicing bass instead of hanging out in the desert near Roswell holding a “Alpha Centauri or bust” sign.
