Our friends

Dear Blog,

The Hazzards have been remiss at keeping an up-to-date links page. We're sorry. We have so many awesome friends on the internet. Friends like Will, Cas & Seth, Eugene Cho, and 202 Lions. And also friends like Doctor Grosz, The Isotoners, and Pink Steel.

So awesome.

Love,
Sydney & Anne

The Cutest Affleck

Dear Blog,

Another fun show, what a surprise! We played at the Culture Project on Friday for Naked Angels' Democracy Project. It was an evening of new one-acts based on the theme: Democracy. We were the musical guest. Theater shows are funny because the audience is always so polite. They laugh at the funny parts and then fold their hands in their laps so they can listen carefully to the rest of the song. I think they liked us, because they giggled a lot at the end (but maybe we just flashed them our underwear when we bent down to pick up our stuff, who knows). We were going to watch the show from the audience, but we got stuck back stage when it started so we hung out down there for a while. And saw Casey Affleck & Josh Hamilton, who were in the show!

Since there wasn't anywhere for us to sit back stage either, we took the secret elevator up to the lobby and sat there. We worked on a new song called "Make-Out Contest", in which we let Josh and Casey kiss us until we can figure out which of them is best. It's going to be a great song! The first round of the make-out contest is "First Date"--they have to make-out with us like it's a first date. The second round is "Cheating"--they have to make-out with us like we are cheating on our boyfriend/girlfriend. The third round is "Old and Tired of Each Other"--they have to make-out with us like we have been together forever and are tired of each other. And the final round is "Title Bout - Casey vs. Josh"--we decide who wins. We thought it was a pretty good start for the song. And aren't you dying to know who wins, Blog?

Well, you know what they say about our ukuleles. (BTW, what they say about our ukuleles is that if we write songs and play them, our ukuleles make them come true). We went back downstairs in the secret elevator and . . .
Ok, so we didn't make-out with Casey and Josh. But we did tell them they should watch the Red Sox game with us at the bar across the street after the show. And their friend (was is Chris Messina? was it Nathan Dean?) told us our outfits were very sexy and asked us to get naked--we politely declined (or did we just say nothing and look away, I can't remember). While it wasn't quite a make-out contest, Casey and Josh did come to the bar to watch the baseball game. We're pretty sure our song made that happen. Too bad the Red Sox lost. To make up for it, we gave Casey & Josh Hazzards stickers, because they LOVE unicorns. Our friends Ryan and Ben came to hang out, which was awesome because not only are they super-fun, it looked less like we were trying to hang out with famous, handsome boys--which we weren't. We really just wanted to watch the game and eat our giant hamburgers. Really. After the game was over, Casey and Josh went home. Ryan, Ben, Anne & Sydney tore up the town--for real.

Love,
Sydney

P.S. Confirmed: Casey IS the cutest Affleck. Josh is dreamy, too.

DEAR DIARY: High school is boring.

Dear Diary,
We're in a bad mood today. It's rainy out and we're feeling really outraged about wars and poverty. They're both really terrible problems, Diary. And so interconnected. We're seriously considering joining the Peace Corps. Maybe in Africa or Asia or something? That would be so cool. It sounds dumb, but we're also a little sad about not having a boyfriend too. (Why is everyone so in love with Alyssa?! We don't get it, she's boring! And her stupid family vacation hairbraids just make it easier to see her gross sunburnt scalp. ugly.) Anyways, whatever. Maybe we'll write some poems today. Ooooh! Totally going to dye our hair pink. Julie let me borrow her manic panic! People at school will probably make a big deal about it but whatever. They're idiots and Josh Parullio can eat it.

We can't wait to be done with high school already. Its so boring.

later,
Anne & Sydney

We couldn't figure out why our friends in the canoe weren't coming over to hang out with us. Then we remembered we were camouflaged. Posted by Hello

Back to School

Hi Guys,
I know its been a little while since you've seen us- we've been busy! We've been traveling, writing 4 (!!!!) new songs, working on our rad EP, and Sydney's been sewing her fingers off. She has all sorts of cute new clothes for Spring in the works. Guess what that means?! Cute new Hazzards outfits too!! Personally, I am very psyched.

This past weekend we met up with our friends The Isotoners in their cool rehearsal space (that we just might have to get in on as well). We practiced a song we're going to do with them next week at FEZ. They're so fun and their songs are dirty. We're so excited for the show!

After practice we went to Sydney's studio and finished 4 songs, a $3 bottle of wine, and a gigantic chinese food feast. According to dessert, our dearest dream is going to come true. Yeah! We can't wait!!! I wonder which dream is our dearest? Is it the Kirk Cameron one or the rich one? Maybe its the peace one. Either way....

Ok, time to finish cleaning my room.
Hope to see you at Fez next Tuesday!
love,
Anne
