Things Just Got a Little Heavier!!

Hi, I'm Anthony Rondina. You might recognize me from such bands as: The Guilty Parties.... umm and... yeah, that's pretty much it!

So you're wondering why I would be posting on the Half Past Two blog, right?

Of course you are, silly! Don't be embarrassed, nobody expects you to know why--that's why I'm here--to let you know why I'm posting! Duh!

Anyway, now that you're thoroughly confused the real reason why I'm here will be revealed:

I've been recruited to pick up the bass guitar and once again rock stages all across Southern California and beyond!! So starting tonight at Aladdin Jr. in beautiful Pomona, Ca With Dubfound, The b Sharps, Outlaw Nation and Deals Gone Bad I'll officially be playing Bass for Half Past Two from now on until forever (or when they realize I don't know what I'm doing onstage and find someone who knows how to rock in a more proper fashion!).

So now, a little about me since I'm sure you're all dying to know. Once again, I'm Anthony--yes, I know; it's nice to meet me! I'm much obliged to meet you as well kind sir or madame. I rocked the bass guitar for The Guilty Parties quite handily for almost 7 years out here in Riverside and after our recent breakup I was unsure of my return to music. You see kids, I'm in the midst of earning my teaching credential as a special education teacher (two more months and I'm done! [almost]). But my good friends in HP2, a band I've admired since we played their first show 178 years ago at a wild Andrew Jackson White House party, tempted me away from a life without music filled only with education and aspirations of time travel. Did I just say time travel? Where did that come from? Who am I? What am I doing here? Why are all of my words appearing on this screen in front of me?

This post is going nowhere--just like The Guilty Parties! HEY-O!! (It's okay, we're all still good friends, otherwise this joke would be in poor taste, Just like The Guilty Parties[Double HEY-O!!!]). But really, I think this was a terrible first post, so look forward to more of this! Also, I don't feel as though I've made a point until I photoshop Dave's picture, so here it is:


That's right, you guys never saw Dave's dinosaur friend, did you? That's one of the many things I'll bring to this band!

Alright, I think that's enough.

Peace,
Anthony
