HMB does the Mermaid

YO HO HO! *****SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT******

The one and only Hungry March Band has came and conquered....leaving a trail of laughter, love and smiles! We Began the day at the early hour of 9:30 am with breakfast at Tara's House. We had at least 30 peeps glamorizing themselves for the big events with gobs of glitter and goo. We arrived it the midst of swarm of parade goers. The day was hot and swelting with sun beating down upon us. We awaited our turn to move. We did mind as the eye candy was bountiful. The only missing was the appropriate music. All that was forthcoming as was greased our pipes and fine tuned our machinary. We began our march. We had over 40 peeps in all. It was glorious. We had a hard time breaking through the crowd, everyone wanted a piece and an earful. Along with us was a gaggle of beauty and we also brought the Rascal. What is the Rascal? Why, it's magical. We marched and stopped during waits to allow our our mighty blue mat to spread out for tumbling, yoga and splits by our fine fexible acrobats. When we arrived before the judges, you could see them quiver in anticpation, drooling. we brought offerings and bribes of fruit and much more. We played like demons, we marched like maniacs, we danced like ghosts. Our mermaid with a hurt foot was absolutely stunning in her golden fins. We bipassed the judges, who begged us to stay. We needed to greet those who brought us here. Marching directly and joyously into the ocean with our offerings to the Goddesses and Gods we came and we got wet...

A big "YO HO!!!" goes out to

A high five, thumbs up, pat on back and pinch in the ass goes out to all participants and anyone who helped along the way....hugs and especially really wet kisses too! Who was that mystery mermaid who gave Timmy the big wet one for which the whole parade halted for a moment???




This is Scott. What's he playn? A susaphone. Did I spell that right. I sure hope so. It's heavy, but he's strong. You have to be tough to be in the HMB. Look there's Doug in the background. The Rascal guy is back there too. He must of been hot with that thing on his head. What is that? A dead cat?
Do you think he can really play that thing or he is just a poser? He can really play it. I assure you. You have to see it live for yourself in person to understand.






Check out Boom Boom. Next GQ model. What is he thinking? I can tell you, because if you ever have the opportunity to march around with a bass drum, pounding away...you will be thinking, "I am so cool, I am the shit", because it is heavy as hell and you need special inspiration to do this job. Look, there is Doug again in the background, what is he trying to tell us? Can you read his lips. What does he want? Do you feel the pounding of that bass drum. When you see us you will feel deep in your guts. A tear squeezes out of the corner of your eye. Boom! Boom! boom! boom!

Another crazy fan in the crowd inspired by the HMB! Look at her face! Do you see how happy she is? This is what we want to inspire. This is our desire. Joyous insanity. Do you ever feel like you need to just let loose and forget about everything, to be in the here and now. To be in the moment with music filling you until you burst. We will see you in your dreams...
I see Doug again way in the back...this guy is something else...do you see him
