Sorry we missed your last show, we were playing a birthday party. I heard it was awesome.
Favorite Can't Do It Memory:
My favorite Can't Do It memory was the time that all us in Johnny Cakes went sailing and there was a hurricane. Then we washed ashore on an island. Can't Do It was on the island dressed up like savages and they chased us around the island and ate our original saxophone player. Oh the memories.

You guys are one of my favorite local bands; you inspire me to put more energy into each and every performance. I really hope you guys get back together after your hiatus! (and good luck to Josh with your 52 Friends project! I'm very interested in how it turns out.)
It was great seeing ya'll play again. I'll prolly come out for the globe show.. hopefully you'll have the horns then. It was interesting to hear ya'll without them.
