Last night, Jesse and I left our babies at home and headed down to Richmond to hang out with Jesse’s friend, Kai, the bassist for punk band Army of Freshmen. AOF is touring right now with Bowling for Soup, Melee, and Quietdrive on the Get Happy 2007 tour, so we got to meet the whole crew, including everyone’s favorite French Bulldog, Sherman, who owns BFS lead guitarist Chris Burney.
Sherman’s dad describes him as “a genius,” and rightfully so. I watched Sherman knock over a bottle of water someone left on the floor, unscrew the top with his mouth, and drink the whole thing without spilling a drop. He then convinced all of the people standing around him to throw the empty bottle so he could chase it, flatten it so it would skid farther, and then carry it back.
We fell in love with Sherman after he snuck on stage to rock out with AOF, so of course we had to meet him between sets and hang out with him after the show.
This is a great blog. Very informative and entertaining. Some of your stories had me laughing out loud.
I love bowling for soup almost as much as I love Frenchies! Such a cute photo!
Love this story – thanks for sharing. There needs to be more of a place for uplifting content like this. Sherman sounds like an awesome dog.
