Shrimp Cone

Two things we like in this band are words and facts. When we come
across good word combinations, like say, the "shrimp cone" for sale at
the funky food stand off south congress, we roll it around on the
tongue and toss it into conversational pauses until it loses all
meaning and becomes an artifact on its own. Band names are another
good word game; yesterday's was "hunkleberry funk," a side project
funk band. Auditions to be held soon. We also like facts. The iPhone comes out anytime a debate needs
resoluton or when we are approaching a new city and need some context.
Right now we are approaching Wichita, ks. We've already learned that
Wichita is the largest city in Kansas, and are considering a stop at
the native American history museum to beef up on our Midwest history.
Hopefully we will pick up some new facts about our great nation, and
some new great words to boot.
hasta,

  1. My husband and I love making up band names from uttered expressions and signs, too. Some of our favorites are Vindaloo Vapors, The Network Time Killers and... back by popular demand, Ladies and Gentleman give it up for ... Autumn Squirrel Frenzy!!
