Why yes, Marcus IS Likeable!

Dear Jack,

When you post photos like this, I fall in love with you and Marcus even more.

From the amazing Jack Standen!

I’ve decided that I want to live my life big love style with you, Marcus and LiLi. But only if Marcus promises to wear that big foam thumb all the time. It’s a deal breaker for me.

Love,
Amber

P.S. Dood. Look at me. Blogging and such. The tour is good inspiration. Hopefully we will be doing more!

In The Trust Tree…

So you know how 27 times a day sometimes Amber and I refer to our gchats via twitter?

And every once and a while will post them on here?

Yeah. We like it.

So we are rolling with it. Again.

And we feel like this is something that we will do regularly….so it needed a name.

After much brainstorming and arguing back and forth we went with the first thing that came to mind :

In The Trust Tree

Cause that’s what our gchats are. A safeplace to fangirl and not be judged. Or for us to get ammo to have on each other the one day that this whole thing blows up in our faces and we are called in to testify. Either way. They are fun. And sometimes too good NOT to share with you guys. Especially when pics like THIS come through our feed:

We saw this and immediately had oh so much to say about it.

Check it:

Where Amber gets back from a meeting and checks in with me….#NORMAL: 

Amber: well what’d i miss???

Amber: WOO HOO!

LiLi: xmaas is like, dood, “what should i tweet next?”

and they are all trying to out do one another with gross shit

LiLi: that poor guy in the back

Amber: clearly annoyed

LiLi: he’s just trying to read a bit before dinner

Amber: he’s all “damn hipsters”

LiLi: LOL

and their iPhones

Amber: even hipsters succumb to the man every once and awhile

Where we discuss “buzz burps” and my open promise to Amber:

Amber: i’m noting that marcus’ glass is very full

LiLi: uh, that’s his 3rd

Amber: i’m hoping that’s the 2nd round

LiLi: BWAHAHAHAHA

Amber: bwahahahahaha

STOP IT!!

LiLi: that’s why he looks so quiet

he’s teetering on being hammered

i feel like he’s one step before the buzz burps

just trying to stay upright

Amber: hahahahaha

buzz burps?

i love it

LiLi: LOL

Amber: i don’t get those

i give out buzzed hugs

LiLi: er…yeah…me either

Where we sidetrack cause we’ve found a doppleganger:

LiLi: ps–

Amber: OMG!

AND he’s on Team Foster!

LiLi: hahahaha

(CLEARLY we don’t have friends named Bunny. We change names to protect innocent peeps.)

Where we once again prove how creepy we are AND cover Canadian tuxedos:

LiLi: and one slightly disturbing thing to note in this pic

their hair. all of them. i die. srsly. my fingers are itching.

Amber: the guy to the far left

LiLi: great musicians, great music, blah, blah, i just love hair.

Amber: i feel like i wanna push it out of his eyes

but not in an annoyed way

in a nice way

LiLi: who? jack??

Amber: yes… uh… jack

LiLi: i just wrote caress

Amber: you know i can’t keep these peeps straight

LiLi: AND knew his name

Amber: you WIN!

and yes

and then a hug

LiLi: and by win you mean i win the creepster of the day award

Amber: cause i’ll be buzzed

LiLi: correction: a slight caress AS you move IN for the hug

Amber: bungo!

i mean

LiLi: pshaw

Amber: am i drunk now?

LiLi: BUNGO is way better

Amber: something else slightly disturbing

but also hilar

the one guy

LiLi: or bag

Amber: oh

LiLi: um….rick

Amber: it IS a bag

LiLi: he looks like a rick

or rich

Amber: something with an ri, eh?

LiLi: or marcus. cause all guys who play folk are named marcus

#duh

Amber: duh

lessons learned from the best line of fit

anyway

he looks the way 13 year old boys look

you know

when a hot girl walks by

LiLi: and puts a cushion in his lap?

to cover his ::ahem:: excitement?

Amber: yep

LiLi: hahahaahahahaha

Amber: that’s all it looks like he is doing to me

LiLi: i like him

his bag is rad

and he’s wearing a canadian tuxedo

so he’s WIN

Amber: i do like that bag

but the jean jacket can go

and i learned something new

cause i NEVER heard it called a canadian tuxedo till today

that is amazing

LiLi: dood

for reals?

when someone wears jeans AND a jean jacket??

BAM

canadian tuxedo

Amber: add boots to it and around here that’s a Saturday night outfit for Grahams

LiLi: LOL

Where we decide to make shirts and get tattoos:

LiLi: srsly though

this looks like one of our meetups

Amber: right??

LiLi: i need to stop staring at this pic

Amber: i know

but i don’t want to

i feel like i’m part of the group

LiLi: i feel like someone was standing there and was like, okay everyone, act like you are doing something and imma take a pic

1….2…..TEAM FOSTER!

Amber: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

you may be right

that’s why Marcus is looking down

Mr. Shy Guy

LiLi: pfft

i’m telling you

it’s all a front

Amber: dood!!

i’m starting to think so too!!

LiLi: pshaw

it’s always the quiet ones

Amber: just a front to get the ladies

and it works

LiLi: duh

Amber: even knowing it’s a front it still works

i am such a sucker

LiLi: hahahaha

you’re their demographic

Amber: can get a shirt that says that for the next show?

“i’m your demographic”

LiLi: “i’m marcus’ demographic”

Amber: yes!

LiLi: do it!

and i will get one that say’s “i’m jack’s”

and we will have to stand next to each other the whole night

Amber: bwahahahahahaha!!

omg

i LOVE it

fine fine

i’ll drop demographic off my shirt too

won’t want people thinking you are the only crazy one there

LiLi: so your shirt will say “i’m marcus’”

Amber: duh

LiLi: omg

that’s not creepy at all, huh?

i can see it now

Amber: not even a little bit

LiLi: we are wearing those shirts and trying to meet them after a show

what an impression

Amber: i can GUARANTEE they’ll never forget us

LiLi: what a way to make him think differently of US fans

hahahahaha

come to the states, where we’ll freak you out with crazy tee shirts professing our love

Amber: hey, it’s better than showing off my tattoo

if i had one

which i don’t

i think that one girl who showed marcus her bobby tattoo is probs why he said that

let’s blame her!!

LiLi: LOL

yes

omg

i die just thinking about it

Amber: that moment is seared to my memory forever

much like marcus’ memory i am sure

gah

i thought he looked uncomfortable before

LiLi: fo sho

Amber: that was nothing compared to THAT moment

LiLi: i should have been like, oh! we are showing tattoos now?

here’s my last name, in old english letters across my back

Amber: i have nothing to offer to this show and tell

sad

LiLi: hahahaha

uh

let’s rectify this!

this may!

Amber: omg

LiLi: srsly!

ooooo

Amber: i am SOOO scared of needles

LiLi: get a marcus tattoo to show to Sam

and then i will get a sam tattoo to show to bobby

Amber: ah

the circle of creepy tattoos will then be complete

LiLi: YES

we will have to become friends with that girl with the bobby tattoo

Amber: yes!

she seems so nomal!!

Where we reminisce on Amber flashing Sam:

Amber: so, instead of the tattoo

can i just show my boobs instead

i’m pretty sure that will be just as effective

it’s all i have to offer

and since i pretty much already showed my boobs to sam anyway

LiLi: you did??

why don’t i remember this?

Amber: that’s when you were not there to save me

LiLi: when??

OH

the last time?

Amber: yep

did i not tell you this??

LiLi: i think you did

i am just now membering

Amber: even drunk i was embarrassed

and that’s hard to do

LiLi: oh

oh my

i am giggling at the memory

this is why i don’t drink at these shows

or say much

the chances of me blurting out something inappropriate and/or showing parts of my body increase with every unit of alcohol consumed

Amber: bwahahaahahahaah!!

so true

LiLi: it’s a sad fact

Amber: for me

LiLi: there are STILL pics of my booty floating around from college

and how do i know this??

effing facebook

Amber: LMAO!!

LiLi: i am like dood– that was YEARS ago

get some new material

Amber: omg

i am reading my “review” of that show where i showed my boobs

i am such a nerd

LiLi: oooo

send me the link

too lazy to look it up

Amber: http://shackofsoul.com/2010/11/16/ambers-drunken-concert-review-cause-thats-how-i-roll/

LiLi: OMG

you yelled out “moms rock!”

i TOTALLY forgot about that part

BWAHAHAAHAHAHA

Amber: it’s actually more embarrassing reading it now then it was writing it in november

i am DYING laughing and cringing at the same time

LiLi: srsly

i am DYING here

Where we wrap it up cause…let’s be honest…this shizz was long enough:

LiLi: okay

i am out. i am done early today

Amber: bye!

:)

LiLi: bye!

friday fangirl report: the all Marcus all the time edition

Happy Friday everyone!

Here’s all the latest, i.e. what I could dig up in 30 mins, on Mr. Foster:

The One Where I Proclaim My Love for Jack Standen!

Dear Jack Standen,

This letter has been a long time coming. I just had to finally go on and say it.

I love you.

I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical of you at first. Cause let’s get real. Your Twitter avi kinda freaked me out. I don’t care that LiLi said she loved it more then socially acceptable. I see crazy eyes, I think crazy guy.

But I put that all aside, cause you are in Camp Foster for the new album and were tweeting tons of deets on what you, XMAAS and Marcus were doing all the time.

And how much do I LOVE you guys for calling it Camp Foster! I never got to go to a summer camp, so I kinda think LiLi and I should come and be counselors so we can relive this part of our childhood. We”ll bring t-shirts!

 

How do I get to be counselor of THIS camp?!

 

And since I can’t depend on Marcus to tweet all the goodies from recording (srsly, teach that boy how to use Twitter), I started falling in like with you. We hadn’t hit the love part… yet.

But last week, when you started dropping the Marcus Foster pics on me, well, I knew your were the real deal. And I fell in love. How could I not? You tweeted a picture of Marcus and a freakin’ puppy!!

 

Does it GET any cuter then this?!

 

And then, yesterday, you did it again.

 

A banjo people. A FREAKIN' BANJO!

 

Can my heart take anymore? I think you should keep testing it with your tweets and amazeballs pictures that you clearly take with Hipstamatic, making my fake hipster heart super happy!

In fact, could you do me a favor? You know, since we are in love and all. I’m gonna need you to take all these bad ass pics and tweets you’ve been posting from Camp Foster and make a photo book, bring them on the tour and sell them to fangirls like me who want to see funny pics of Marcus the recording process in addition to buying the new album. I promise, these things would sell like hotcakes. And I mean hotcakes with blueberrys and hot maple syrup. Yum!

So, Jack, all I gotta say is… keep up the good work. We are depending on you over here!

Much Love,

Amber

P.S. Um, why aren’t all of YOU following Jack yet? Get on it!
