The Band That Never Was.
Once upon a time, I was in a band.
Evidence of this still exists. We were called Poster Child, and we had some good times. We wrote some decent songs, had a fan base comprised mostly of our friends, and made a couple of decent recordings. It was fun while it lasted.
The name of our band was the subject of much debate for me and my best friend Andrew. From the moment that he found out I was in any kind of performing group, he dubbed us "Fat Kid and the Afternoon Snacks." Obviously, I disapproved of this name. Despite the fact that both of us band members were, in fact, mildly fat, we felt that fact needn't become even more obvious. We became Poster Child (and later, Oster Chill). But Andrew, he would not rest. To this day, even as both artists formerly known as Poster Child have lost significant amounts of girth, Andrew still refers to our erstwhile group as Fat Kid and the Afternoon Snacks.
As such, I've dedicated the title of this blog to the band name that never was. Fat Kid and the Afternoon Snacks. This one's for you, buddy.
I'll make no promises regarding content posted or frequency thereof. More than likely, it'll just be my silly ramblings and cynical, angry ranting about television advertising and bad music. But on the off chance that anyone becomes a regular visitor, this is your "origins" post. One day, when someone asks: "What does 'Fat Kid and the Afternoon Snacks' mean?" (because it's their totally fave blog), you'll proudly be able to tell them.
Lucky you.
