DEAR DIARY: We are so good at acting!

Dear Diary,
Just got back from play rehearsal, it was the WORST! We almost want to quit stupid Annie Get Your Gun but not really though. Can you believe this? Charlie Dilloway hit us on the head with a clipboard for talking too much backstage! We hate him! He's weird too. We were just talking to Lisa about our characters- we're playing Indians so we were telling her that we should make up our own Indian names. Ours is going to be Princess Ponyfeather. Lisa's is Rainbow Stardancer (ours is better.) Charlie shouldn't hit us when we're ACTING. We're so going to tell the stage manager.

Take that Big Chief Charlie CrapEater!!!

love,
Anne & Sydney

We couldn't hold it in any longer!

We just had to post a song from our awesome recording weekend. It's here: myspace.com/thehazzards, and it's called Girl Beer.

The CD should be ready by late fall (or maybe sooner, you never know).

Love,
Sydney

Girl Beer (lyrics)

Girl Beer
by The Hazzards

Ooh la la la la, girl beer
Ooh la la la la, girl beer

Girl beer is an awesome malt drink
Instead of tasting beer-y, it tastes pink
Tastes like candy and it works like wine
We love it and we drink it all the time
Ooh la la la la, girl beer
Ooh la la la la, girl beer

Razzleberry grape, watermelon mist
Passion-fruit spritzer, lime-o-nade twist
They're pretty, we're pretty
So pretty

Girl beer makes you feel like kissing and dancing
Pizza tastes amazing and you look enchanting
When I drink it I peer-pressure and swear
I dirty talk and try to touch your underwear
Ooh la la la la, girl beer
Ooh la la la la, girl beer

Purple, orange, green
Red, aquamarine
They're sweet, we're sweet
So sweet

Budweiser, Michelob, they all taste shitty
We'll stick with our girl beer, it makes us feel pretty
You can call us sissy but we don't care
You drink your whisky, we'll drink our girl beer
Ooh la la la la, we'll drink our girl beer
Ooh la la la la, we'll drink our girl beer
We'll drink our girl beer

Rad.

Just wanted to say again how awesome this weekend was. It was so awesome! Big thanks to Kicked in the Head, Marc Flynn, Dan Newbower, My Mom!, and everyone who came to the show Saturday night. I was so psyched on recording, playing an awesome show, and hanging out with rad kids, that I wasn't even phased when our rental van got ticketed and towed back in NYC Monday morning. Stupid parking rules.

Our band is the best.
love,
Anne



Marc helps Sydney administer the Business. We're mean!


Andrew is rad at Bass and Stampede.



Paul is the nastiest Harp player around!


This is Anne's singing fort!

BOSTON!!!

Dear Blog,

We had such an amazing time in Boston this weekend. It's too bad you weren't there.

We fought through weekend traffic and the hardest rain you've ever seen and made it to Anne's house just in time to eat some delicious hamburgers. On the way we invented a couple of awesome new games: Matchgame AM PM and Family Feud for the car. Well, they aren't new (we made them up from TV shows), but they are awesome. For example, guess which one of our bandmates' top five high-school activites included: Being Sad? And guess which bandmate forgot to include Davy Jones and which forgot to inclue Winnie Cooper in their top five crushes? And guess which bandmate taught us to count binary on our fingers?

Henry Phillips drove up to Boston, too. We waved to him in his car while he was counting to infinity (the regular way, not binary).

We spent all day recording in Quincy and since Marc is so awesome, we got six songs recorded instead of four. Yeah, Marc! He gave us the business. I got to plug my ukulele into the biggest amp I've ever seen and rock for real. The CD sounds amazing, I can't wait to play it for you. Our band is so rad and talented!

We played at the Regatta Bar and felt pretty fancy in our hotel rooms. Thanks for inviting us, Dan. My brother got there just in time to hear our last song. Anne had a ton of friends and family there, and she got to sing the F word and the S word in front of her parents a bunch of times.

The Walsh Brothers were pretty funny, or crazy. They had a guy dressed like a leprechaun attending the men's bathroom. Paul & Will were mad when the leprechaun went on stage and they found out he was part of the act--they had both tipped him, and Will said he had been concerned that the hotel made the guy wear such a garish outfit to work in the bathroom.

The drive home was super easy. We even stopped to see Princess Diaries 2 and still got home right on schedule.

I wish we could go to Boston every weekend (especially since we left Paul's baby chair there). Maybe Anne will post her pictures soon.

Love,
Sydney

P.S. I forgot to tell you that Anne had to sing in a fort!

DEAR DIARY: Harvard Square on Saturday 8/14! No curfew!!

Dear Diary,
We're so psyched! Mom's gonna let us go into Boston next Saturday! We're gonna take the T and everything!

First we'll go to Fanueil Hall - they have the cooooolest stuff at a place called "The Sharper Image". We'll have to get chocolate chip cookies at The Chipyard too and then buy lots of stuff at Purple Penache. Purple is the best color.

After that, we'll probably get back on the T and go to Harvard Square. That's where all the older kids hang out. Once we were there with Jennifer and saw a guy with pink hair and a plaid suit jacket doing skateboarder tricks!! She talked to him!!

We're going to wear our coolest outfit: Rainbow tights with jean shorts, the vest and the purple shirt we got at The Quarterdeck, and of course our blue doc martin mary janes.

Maybe we'll see cute boys there! Wouldn't it be so cool to have a cool older boyfriend from Boston, diary?
hearts!,

DEAR DIARY: Frogs!

Dear Diary,
We just caught 5 giant frogs in Jacob's Pond! Boys can't even catch that many, we're sure of it. Did you know that first a frog is an egg, then it's a tadpole, then slowly it grows arms and legs and its tail falls off??!!!
Half gross, half awesome!!
Bye!
