Broken Window Blues
So we were heading back from the studio on Thursday night, and we were all in a great mood because we’d just wrapped up recording for our upcoming album. We usually keep all our equipment in the cargo area of our van, behind the seats. But this time, we had some PA speakers in one of the bench seats because we’d used our PA for a show last Thursday and we were too lazy/brainless/busy to take them inside. I’m sure you already know where this story is headed…
One left turn later, the metal corner of one of the PA speakers slid into the largest window in our van and decorated the street with a nice, shiny coat of glass:
Somehow, Wasim and Ryan made it all the way back to Canton from Royal Oak without Wasim’s floor tom flying out the window. Anyway, the repair shop couldn’t fit us in until Saturday morning, but we had a show on Friday night at the Flood Cafe in St. Clair Shores. So, we got together on Friday morning to begin installing our new temporary window:
Big thanks to my dad and Canton Wear Master for this fine, top-of-the line, best quality window material (which happened to be the remains of a box that some car parts had been shipped in).
Cody showed off some beautiful duct-taping skills, and within a half hour we had a brand new window.
The best part of this was that Wasim, Cody, and I were able to trick Ryan (who didn’t come to the cardboard window installation) into thinking that it would be a $1200 fix, and that since we couldn’t afford it, the cardboard piece would be our window for the foreseeable future. We managed to string him along until late Friday night, though he swears he never believed us in the first place (he definitely did though!).
We got the window fixed bright and early Saturday morning, so for all of you midwesterners who were hoping to catch a glimpse of our fine window craftsmanship during our Winter Midwest tour (which starts on Thursday!), sorry to disappoint!
Speaking of our upcoming tour, you can check out all our live dates on the TOUR page of our website! We’re hoping to see some familiar faces along the road, so find the closest show to you, and out and come say hi!
We love you all!

We're called Good Luck Varsity. We love each other, we love what we do, and we love the people who come out to our shows. We believe that the 3 feet of stage we stand on makes us a little taller than you, but it does not make us rockstars, nor does it make those of you standing on the floor inferior - we're all in this together. We are truly humbled and encouraged by every person who downloads our music, buys a t-shirt, or passes along some kind words of encouragement. Beyond all else, we are so thankful for each and every opportunity to do what we love, and we hope the evidence of that fact pours out of us every time we step on the stage.
