The biggest casualty of our unexpected break… THE Sam Interview!
Soooooo…. this is probably the most awkward post of all before things get back to normal. We are horrible, horrible bloggers.
Before real life decided to kick us both in the figurative balls, we did this little interview with Sam. We worked on it, got everything about 15 minutes away from posting… then never did. Maybe it was because we were embarrassed. My level of drunkenness and nervous giddy laughing during the interview hit a new high (thanks a LOT to happy hour) and LiLi’s unabashed flirting and falling in love (aka arguing over sports) with John Notto made us both kind of cringe later when we listened to the audio. All I can say is, there is a reason we don’t video interviews. Ever. Cause our editing skillz blow and it’s a lot easier to cut out those embarrassing parts when you are transcribing. Thanks goodness.
BUT, we got some real gems in the interview. Gems, I tell you. We may or may not be working on making some little audio clips of certain parts because they make us truly happy. And yes, some of these questions aren’t as, um, timely as they were then, but it’s still Sam and some of the answers are still fantastic so we are saying screw it and posting them anyway.
So, without further ado and excuse making, we present to you, our interview with Sam!
After the jump, cause this shiz is LONG! (TWSS) Read the rest of this entry
Sam. In Hawaii. We’re Suspicious.
I have to say, when I heard about Sam going to Hawaii, I was a bit miffed. Way to go and pick a wonderfully beautiful paradise that I can’t afford a plane ticket to Sam. Way. To. Go. But hey, can’t say I blame Sam. If I could go to Hawaii for work, I would do it. In a heartbeat. Hell, I’d ask for a month long residency.
But I digress.
As of today, I now have concerns.
You see, I decided to be the best fangirl I could possibly be and tried to find the link to buy tickets to the Honolulu show since they go on sale today. I wanted to tweet it out there for all you lucky people that can actually make it in hopes that you will be so appreciative of my kind generosity that you buy me a ticket to fly out there. Or at least send me a lei. Everyone likes a good lei.
So where do I go to find said ticket link? My trusty Google search bar. And the first video result for “The Venue Honolulu” is this:
Um, Sam. Let’s talk for a minute.
I get that you love the ladies as obvious by the babes you always seem to be touring with (Brooke Fraser, Holly Conlan and now Jenny Owen Youngs). I don’t blame you. I do my best to surround myself with hot guys as well. Like this.
But inquiring minds want to know… are you playing in a strip club? Like, will ladies be sliding up and down poles while you sing “Woman You Crazy”? Or maybe Mark will show us all what he’s got. I mean, he is single and I can think of no other way to attract a klassy lady. Of course, I already anticipate that we’ll get to see you up there, cause that’s just the kind of guy you are. Duh.
Either way, if there is a pole in your midst and you are feeling amorous, do me a favor? Bring the industrial size can of Lysol and the economy pack of Clorox wipes. I’m sure there is a Sams, Costco, Wal-Mart, SOMETHING where you can get these things.
I’ll even break down and buy a t-shirt if you promise me you will.
And to every one else hitting Honolulu for what is sure to be a fine couple of performances…. bring a video camera. Or else.
P.S. By the way, I got that ticket link for you guys. You can get your tickets right here. Note that the venue is not kid-friendly or dog friendly. Further proof that this place is probably a strip club.
P.P.S. This place has $3.50 martinis ALL DAY LONG! Couple of those and you’d see me on the pole as well. I kid, I kid. Sort of. I better take that t-shirt I’m buying and make me a pair of these, just in case.
P.P.P.S Of course, you should let us know in the comments if you are going so we can hate be jealous of you. As well as harass you for pictures and video later.
The Shack of Soul Bucket List… cause we ain’t ready for the end yet
So, since the world is going to end tomorrow, we thought we would make a list of all the things that we wish we would have accomplished. I mean, besides end world hunger and negotiate peace between the Palestinians and the Israeli. We are talking the IMPORTANT things.
Feast your eyes below to our bucket list. We need to make these all happen.
That is OUR kind of bucket!
1. Travel to London to see Marcus perform.
Some days it seems like we gotta take the bull by the horns with Marcus and show up there. Plus, how amazing would it be just to see Marcus in his native environment?
2. LiLi needs to touch Sam’s hair.
We all know LiLi has a bit of an obsession with how soft she thinks it is. She really needs to just find out already. This one may be crossed off the list in May. (see item #4)
3. Amber wants to see Sam in concert…. while sober.
So difficult since these damn things are always held in a bar that allows me to start a tab. Drunk Amber LOVES starting tabs. It’s like drinking for free. At least till you get the credit card bill.
4. LiLi wants to see Sam in concert… while drunk.
The world can’t end until this happens. LiLi has promised it will happen on May 30. So if we could just reschedule the whole world ending thing till after May 30, I think that’s be good for both of us.
We are ready to take this relationship from creepy manip making Twitter besties to the next level. He got us through many a Marcus drought, and for that reason, we fell in like with him.
6. LiLi has to give Marcus a full frontal hug… while wearing low rise undies.
LiLi has something prove to Marcus, and that is she does not wear granny panties. Well, at least not to concerts anyway.
7. Have a sit-down, chit-chat, interview with Marcus.
Yes, this is serious. We’ve had the pleasure of doing it with Sam, and we are ready to do it with Marcus. Although, we are sure we won’t survive the adorableness. I’m sure we’ll slip up like this girl.
8. Go to a concert where Sam is NOT wearing a blazer… but is possibly wearing a beanie.
While we love a good looking dressed up blazer as much as the next person, we are ready to see some casual Sam. And if we could top it all off with a cherry, casual Sam will include the beanie.
9. Amber has to give Marcus that geography lesson.
Maybe I don’t want to do this, but I probably should. You see, I got an uninitiated hug from Marcus for flying ALL THE WAY from Oklahoma City to Dallas (a 50 minute flight, gate to gate). And while I appreciated it, someone needs to step in before the man gives out too many of these and makes mine less special.
10. We want to eat Waffles with The Men.
Sam Bradley on UDetroit and We Break the Internet
Grab a comfy chair, some popcorn and settle in for the awesomeness from the UDetroit.com interview. Mad props to NinjaPanda2o11 for recording this and for her interwebs not breaking until Passport. (Yes, the audio breaks off at around 24 mins. We were sad, too.)
winning stuff is WINNING
So I made this audio boo. And in the boo I announced that we have TWO tickets to the Sam Bradley show in Dallas, TX on May 30 to give away. Didn’t hear the boo? Shame on you. Go listen now!
Can you get your butt to Dallas? Did you hear the code word? Then enter now and see Sam on us!
Already bought your tickets for Dallas? Why not enter and take some friends or family who have not yet experienced the “eff me” eyes.
Even if you don’t win the tickets, EVERYONE in Dallas is still a WINNER!
You all win special time with Drunk LiLi and hopefully ::fingers crossed:: Sober Amber. Okay, probs Buzzed Amber. And, that’s not all…. we will also throw in…. hugs. That’s RIGHT! You ALL win hugs from both myself and LiLi!! There are no losers in this game. Oh no.
Will you be in Dallas? We want to hear so we can prep our hugging arms! Seeing Sam somewhere else? Let us know where and we will virtually hug you.
Comments are right over there. ————————————————–>
Oh and I guess it might be helpful to have an end date on this bad boy, sooooo….
All entries MUST be received by May 19 at 11:59 p.m. CDT. The winner will be notified on May 20 by email as well as a super awesome post on so everyone can congratulate you!
