Rockin' the Chalet Deck

Condition Fun is a band that has been around for many years and is the brainchild of Sandwich and Bill.  They excel at writing fun and catchy tunes about the vehicles of McMurdo.  Last season, they asked me to join them on drums to fill out their sound.  Now we're up to five members with a sixth contributing clarinet and cigar-box guitar onarious numbers.

Last Saturday, Condition Fun was asked to participate in a live video tele-conference with the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California by the Pricipal Investigator for one of the marine science projects, Gretchen Hoffman.  Gretchen did 2 live interviews from the deck of the Chalet (Sation and NSF management offices), which, by the way, has the best views of any place on Station.  The first interview was with a group of six graders and the second interview occured at night in California during the aquarium's Halloween cocktail party and shindig.

Gretchen thought it would be fun to have us "play out" her interview with a popular tune, C-17.  It was a great treat for us and I think it came out quite well.

The video is on Youtube.  Check it out here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Joghsyhnsjc
