Screaming Teenage Girls

So I have an eight-year old boy who is really into music and is a big devotee of all things Disney, and while he isn’t the biggest fan of the whole Hannah Montana thing he does go a bit mad for the Jonas Brothers.  I have to admit, I actually like them myself, they seem like genuinely decent guys and they actually play their own instruments, making them real musicians. 

 So as a little family outing we took him to see the Jonas Brothers at MSG last night.  We expected a lot a little screaming girls, but what we didn’t expected was just how loud and horrible that screaming would be.  Now, the (very pregnant) wife and I have been to numerous concerts throughout the years, so we were not surprised but the volume.  But oh, the screeching.  It was almost unbearable.  I know, I know, what else did I expect, but the little girls near tears at the sight of these three teenage boys.  Just a little unsettling.

Long story short, we had a great time, the Brothers actually put on a really good show, very entertaining.  But I’ve decided that I want another boy, I don’t think I could handle that sort of crazy, screeching obsession-type thing.  Just a little bit too scary.     

Alive and Kicking

So, yes, we are still here, even though we haven’t posted on this blog in what seems like 6 years (ok, it’s been closer to 4 months, but whatever). Our last post was right before the last day of the New York Comic-Con and promised a full wrap-up of our experience there, so here it is:

It was awesome.

We had a really good response to our shirts and we even sold a bunch of them.  It was an insanely valuable learning experience and we’ve been trying to build off of the momentum from it.  Unfortunately, life has a way of getting in the way, especially when you’re trying to raise a family and work full-time in addition to launching an online t-shirt store.  So things got a little derailed, again, but we’re back on track and working on ways to get some more exposure for the Bouteek.

And we’ll also be posting more on this blog, so watch this space.
