The year was 1997. The place was Crossroads, a bar on the upper east side of Manhattan with a pool table and a tiny stage. The band was the Disco Biscuits... Enter Annabel, drunk as hell, screaming at them from the front "OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU AND WANT TO BE YOUR STREET TEAMER." Enter Jon Gutwillig, "would someone get her out of here?" But I never did leave did I? I got sober, we all had kids and here we are, 24 years later. And could our friendships have gotten stronger? Yes. Especially when this guy and I shift from being party kids to crying on the phone with each other, falling in love with each others families, cracking jokes and coming up with endearing nicknames, trusting each other with things that perhaps only the two of us would understand, giving each other advice that might somewhat sting...but knowing it’s for the right reasons, feeling pride in each other’s accomplishments, knowing how hard they were to achieve…but mostly just enjoying each other, actually knowing each other so well that we really truly want to be best friends. Yes, Browns, we are. No matter how many other “best friends” I have, you’re one of my OGs and will stay that way forever. I’ll always be your Annie and you’ll always be Browns (and also Lyric’s hand chair.) Last night I went to Mishawaka and saw the Biscuits play in a tiny outdoor venue filled with spiritual jams, gorgeous skies and happy fans. I spent set break with the boys and a love fest it was. I’ve been super respectful of everyone’s bubbles because look, this is their job, if they get sick, they lose their jobs. All of us in the industry spent so much time out of work that we can’t afford it. But I got my booster (Brownie’s new nickname for me and one that awarded me a kiss on each cheek last night is “Moderna, All Access”), I took a rapid test and they let me in the bubble. I don’t take for granted the gesture as I was the only non-band/crew there. And it felt GOOD, let me tell you it felt good. I needed it. And according to the love I got back from Brownie and Magner, they did too. We’re good together. . . @marcbrownstein @thediscobiscuits #friends #bestfriends #friendsforever #discobiscuits #thediscobiscuits
