Sunday afternoon found us itching for excuses to take the car out for a spin, some time to fill, and Julie hankering for a hot fudge sundae, with peanuts. So we took ourselves to the Dairy Queen. Everyone had a treat, except Clara, who was happy with found treasure from Julie's bag (or, the nail file in handsome-and-super-nifty carrying case). An added bonus was the medley of lesser known songs from hitmakers of the 1980s playing, including Talk About the Passion from R.E.M. and Everybody from Madonna (from her first, eponymous album, whose cover features Madonna wearing an armful of black jelly bracelets*). So conditions were ripe for a seated dance party. Joe was on lead guitar; Clara, vocals; Julie, drums. Ted was our roadie and shot some as-yet-unedited video. Look for it to land at a blog near you soon.*It's true that Julie was a HUGE Madonna fan and had this album, as well as Like a Virgin, on tape. Now that she is herself a mother, she is both amused a horrified to think of her third grade self singing (at the top of her lungs) Like a Virgin at her friend, Dee Dee's birthday party, having not the slightest idea what it all meant.
