NO EFFIN WAY!

Okay, it started out like this: there was this contest at my local radio station, Live 105. You can submit questions to the morning show to ask a band called the Shins. If they like your question, they'll invite you to go meet the band and ask them your question. I sent an email to the morning show at about 6:17 on the morning of the last day to submit questions. That afternoon when I came home from school I checked my messages. There was one from Greg Gory from the morning show. I read the email and it said (quote) "We'd like you to join us tommorrow!" and i was like OH, CRAP-OH-LA! I asked my mom (more like groveled) if i could go. Unfortunately it was on a school day...during school. My mom said no, which was expected. I already invited my friend and when I told her I couldn't go, she was just as upset as I was. I was forced to email the station to tell them i couldn't go, but I did ask them to read my question anyway so i could hear the reply. They compassionately agreed. On the day of the almost Shins encounter, me and my friend were drowning ourselves in sorrow...I, personally, felt like a a herd of cows chased out of a nice,green pasture by wild horses, locked out, and was forced to eat weeds. Yesterday, my friend called one of the radio djs that were on in the afternoon and told him of our horrible luck. He played the Shins song, "Phantom Limb" and mentioned our incident on the radio. Of course, I thought this was a bit ironic...in a sense...Anyway, as soon as the station posts the video of the interview on the site, I will post it up on this blog...I look forward to seeing the Shins's reaction to my question. By the way, my question was "What would you call a song that was inspired by the sight of children leaping througha garden sprinkler?" (yeah i coined it from my profile question, but it was originally a ballet that was being named. Since the Shins are musicians, I figured they would rather name a song.)
