Back in the Habit...(with photos)

Well campers, the retro dance party last night is over and we had just enough plutonium to make it home. Please check the photos page for the potential time paradox creating proof (props to Barry for the uploads and Sofia for the photos).

It was miraculous that Will and Eric were both able to fly in and we all could reunite for this awesome show for and awesome cause at an awesome venue that was totally packed with awesome young boppers. We also got to introduce Nik, our newest young recruit fresh out of the academy. In classic COP style we were all Zach Morris and pulled it together at the last minute and came out on top. We also stopped time and screwed with Slater's jerry curl. But I digress.

We've never formally thanked them before, but let me just take a moment to thank Jenny, Meghann and the rest of their crew for always coming to our shows and dancing like there was a local law forbidding dancing that had just been recently lifted. We're a very lucky band to have friends/fans who are trained dancers, and let me tell you, nothing gets a crowd dancing like a couple of pros amongst them freaking out to our weird songs. You guys are inspirational, so thank you. I think they were also part of the camp that was singing along and pantomiming the lyrics to "Searching High" which was shocking/unbelievably awesome.

Just when we thought we were done, the universe conspired at allow us to have one more great show.

The moral of the story: You can't keep a good band (or COP) down.
