We played all weekend and all we got was this giant jar of mayonnaise.

I’ve been working on this gig report all day.  Unfortunately, Seth beat me to the post.  Fortunately, our reports don’t overlap much.

As have most musicians, I’ve often left a gig with food.  Sometimes with left-over veggie trays.  Sometimes with as many cookies as my pockets will hold.  Sometimes with still-wonderful green beans inadvertently placed in the dumpster.

Never though, have I left a gig with a culinary delight as delectable as the one I was given this weekend.  (I’m sure you can see the photo.  If not, try Firefox or check your computer for viruses.  Or, if you’re inside Facebook, click ‘View original post.’)  There are no photographic tricks involved in the taking of this picture; no illusions of perspective, no mini milk cartons.  No, my friends, what you have here is a genuine GALLON OF EXTRA HEAVY MAYONNAISE.  (Yes, the real thing, not the white rapper from Philly.  Ba-da-bum.)

Extra Heavy!  Did you notice?  I assume this means it’s already more consistent with the fat it’ll eventually become.  ”How much does a gallon of mayo weigh?” you ask.  I’m not sure.  I’ll weigh myself in a month and let you know how much I’ve gained.  Have a favorite mayonnaise recipe?  Comment back.  I’ll need all I can get.

I’ve found some promising options here: Mayonnaise Recipes.  I think I’ll start with the Tuna Spooks or the Lobster Asparagus Mousse.  For dessert I’ll be trying the Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake.  I can’t wait.

And just for the fun of it.

    WOW
    I remember when a very dear friend and I did a weekend concert in Dallas Texas. Lots of music and I was a the poorist point in my and my families life. One of the ladies there gave me the left over packets of mayo and ketchup. I came home and now every year we eat a meal made of the only thing we had to eat that very week and for that month. Tomato sandwhichs raised out of a really poorly done garden next to our house. It is a hard yet very beautiful memory. I would not trade it for anything! BIG TEARFUL SMILE
    I have spent the last hour crying with your song “what about me”. I have been crying to the Lord to take away the pain that is tearing me apart. On top of that fighting and winning the battle of cancer.

    I have a few bands that I call friends in Christ and I pray I may do the same with you and your group. Soul Joy Records is nothing big in this world but I believe God has a purpose for it to exist and bless people with ministry through music. Oh and you need to fix the link off of myspace, that links to your mainpage, because it does not work.
    God bless you!
    Sincerely,

    Oh and PS I dont think you are a friend on my other myspace site so please request so I can use that song on my personal site. You will find a black Soul Joy Records emblem on my friends list on the bands site. That would be me.
