The National Anthem by Jeremy & Nick

Patriot is no simple word. And our National Anthem is no simple song, what with its question marks and melodic jumps. But patriot means love of country, so here we go.

N&J Nat'l Anthem

Jeremy & Nick did our best to sing our National Anthem – “The Star-Spangled Banner” – on December 6th in Wenatchee, Washington.

We sang the anthem to kick off the “Redemption Weekend” game of the Wenatchee Wild vs. St. Louis Bandits. The Wild were up 1 game when we took the ice. So we had more than ample reason to not screw up. We did our best, and enjoyed the opportunity.

Nick & Jeremy also got to sing a few songs between first and second period. We played our original “Ravel Day” in two-piece formation. Then we played the beloved Beatles song “Across the Universe.”

More video clips to come. Special thanks to Hooked On Toys bringing us out for the game.

Go Wenatchee.

Go Wild.

Happy Holidaze.

2 Mugs to Perform National Anthem in Wenatchee Washington

Wenatchee Wild header

Getting in the holiday and patriotic spirit, Mugs Citizens Jeremy & Nick will be taking a December 5th field trip to Wenatchee Washington to sing the National Anthem and perform a few songs for 4,000 people at the Wenatchee Wild’s “Redemption Weekend” game against the “St. Louis Bandits,” a re-match of the 2008 North American Hockey League championship game.

Before you can ask “how? why? wha…?”, we’re also psyched to say that at this game, the crowd of hockey fans will be donating teddy bears to charities as part of the night’s sponsorship by the good people at Hooked on Toys toy store. Footage of a previous “Teddy Bear Toss” that takes place after the first Wenatchee Wild goal is scored looks like this.

Stay Tuned for our video post of Jeremy & Nick performing the national anthem and a few live songs.

Happy Holidaze!!

J4^6: Independence Day Kickball in the Park‏

Ladies & Gentlemen,

For the sixth year running – and the first time ever under not only competent but possibly brilliant leadership from the Executive Branch of our government – I am pleased to announce the July 4th Independence Day Kickball Extravapicnic in Prospect Park!!

**Saturday, July 4th, 2009**
***NOON***
(details below)

SO!: come one, come all. Many of you know the drill. The drill is: bring yourself, bring some friends, feel free to bring some surreptitious bevvies of various potencies. We’ll be playing kickball, natch, but you should totally bring along any other park games you like. Bocce, frisbee, whiffle, etc.

Prizes will be awarded for MVP, and then any other whims of my choosing that proceed during the day.

Here are the vitals:

* Where: Nellie’s Lawn, Prospect Park, Brooklyn

* Directions: Q to 7th Avenue (enter park at Grand Army Plaza, turn southleft, walk down the East Drive, follow the sound of Joy), F train to 7th Ave. (walk up 9th Street, enter park, turn left, follow the smell of Peace), or 2/3/4/5 to Grand Army Plaza (enter park at Grand Army Plaza, turn downwest, walk down the East Drive, follow the sounds of Hope).

* When: Saturday, July4th, 2009; “True Noon,” 12:00pm – 4:00pm-ish

* Stipulations: Rain or Shine.

Hope you can make it!!

xo,

Jeremy
