Endless Stamos


(or what I did on my summer vacation part 2)
I was standing in line at Dunkin Donuts (some things you just can't get away from) when I noticed the guy behind me had a Beach Boys cap on. Suddenly another coffee-goer came up to him and said "did you see the Beach Boys at the tent?" I assumed he meant the Cape Cod Melody Tent unless they've lowered themselves to playing campgrounds. And the guy replied " yeah Stamos was great!". Well Brian Wilson was a genius but Stamos, I'm not so sure. Then the other guy said "yeah he rocked!". So it must be true. Still a little skeptcal I sit down with my French Vanilla and my Glazed Stick and open the Cape Cod Times and there it is, in the newspaper

Casual Dining


For 27 years I've missed the Incredible Casuals Sunday afternoon show until now, sort of. Lodging in Hyannis we decided to make the trek to the Wellfleet Beachcomber about 30 miles away. Heading up RT 6 I don't quite know where it is but I do find Cahoon Hollow Rd. It's a long quiet Cape road that goes on forever. "Where is this place?" we all ask aloud. It can't be in the ocean. Sure enough, IT'S RIGHT SMACK ON TOP OF THE BEACH. It's a restaurant so I can bring my kid in right? Wrong! At 4 PM it's a bar and NO ONE UNDER 21 IS ALLOWED. The kind gentleman at the door suggests we order some food and listen outside.
I saw them do a rousing Beat On the Brat in true punk fashion as I ordered from the take-out window. So I did see them, right? Best clam roll I ever had to boot.
Maybe next time I'll get in.

In addition to arranging and writing the lyrics and melodies for most of the material on the CD, ONE FOR ALL is the first fully self-produced CD by Criss.
