The Headless Department - JAMMIN'!

Guitar classes have just started this year at the AIS middle school. Music has become a bit part of our campus, which is awesome. We have a 7th grade and an 8th grade band... and our 7th grade ESL / English teacher, John, teaches guitar. John also jams with his wife, Mickey, playing the drums at school on the weekends.

Last night, John, Mickey, and two other teachers from our school (Ryan and Scott) played a set at a bar in the city!

It felt so good to be at a dive bar and listen to live music. I miss that piece of my life from Denver. ...And The Headless Department didn't disappoint! John knows how to entertain a crowd... barefoot, jumping around, swallowing the microphone, and... even a harmonica!

As soon as they started with a Ramones song for their first... I knew it was going to be awesome. But I didn't realize how punk rock John was! It was awesome - my favorite common of the night came from Donna, our art teacher, when she said: "I didn't know it was possible to love John even more until tonight!" haha... so true. We have a really great staff at the middle school! With more than 1/2 of the teachers moving next year, it'll definitely be different next year. (John and his wife are off to Saudi Arabia next year!!!)

They played at Yoko - a bar in District 3. It took me a while to find... but was a great little spot, hidden away on a side street.

The following video shows you some of the awesomeness that John Arunski created!... (I love when John starts singing directly to the camera around 0:50...)
