Once upon a time (that time being 2003), five boys from the Denver area got into a van and trekked cross-country to New York City, land of too-good-to-be-true record deals. Though they were arrested, impoverished, and desperate, the boys -- who dubbed themselves the Blackout Pact -- prevailed, plucked from the gutter (or, in this case, an East Village hot dog shop) by a guardian angel that chose the earthly form of Thursday singer Geoff Rickly. Armed with record deal on Rickly's Astromagnetics, TBOP set out to write a debut album, Hello Sailor, in a practice space in New Jersey that doubled as their home during the writing process.

So, what is the point of this meaningless ramble? the blackout are great, you should check them out, but don't become obsessed. Don't start believing that impossible things could happen, or that your dream world is better than your real one. Im still not fully over them. (note i put my email addy in case they see it and decide to email me, and in writing this i realize how sad i really am) i still have their my space as my home page, and i still listen to their album, but i have to learn to stop dreaming that one day i could ever have something half as good as what theyve got. no one can.
