Jesse talking with Corey (a writer for Westword & Ideal Father's 1st big time fan).
After the show we headed out to Adam's car to listen to DJ Soup's newest remix of an Ideal Father's song. Check out their myspace to give it a listen. While we were there we saw an amazing display of fireworks off in the distance, so we hung out listeing to music and watching the display for a while. Picture above Jesse, Soup hiding behind Adam, Adam posing with his non-existant trophy, and Amber Adam's girlfriend.

The big awards show was last night. Unfortunately the guys and our good friend Soup didn't win, but we all had a great night. I picked up Mike P (the drummer) around 5:30pm and we headed down to Red Book to pick up Jesse . We arrived @ the Gothic Theater a little after 6pm for the VIP party. They guys loved it! Free food, free drinks, good music, and lots of networking opportunities. This was pretty much their dream come true. As Jesse said "Wow, I sort of feel like a real rock star" and one of the Mikes said "We have arrived, this is awesome!" We passed out some EPs to other bands to spread the word. Hopefully Ideal Fathers will get some more fans out of last night. Their show on Friday brought in some new fans for sure. I saw several people asking Jesse if they could buy an EP. The guys are getting ever closer to recording a full length album with all new songs. They're hoping to record towards the end of this year and have the EP produced and printed for sales by next Spring/early Summer. Keep your eyes open for that. They weren't too bummed that they didn't win, because the competition was stiff in the Post Punk category... plus this was the 1st year the Post Punk was even considered a category, so they were pretty thrilled to be among the 6 bands nominated. They've come a long way in the last year. Keep your fingers crossed for next year.
