Lisa's Birthday Tape. Everybody's been asking bout Lisa's Birthday Tape. So here's the story. Lisa was a girl who printed T-Shirts at our first record label Equal Vision. She was a big Saves The Day fan at the time. In late 98 (I think) I was asked by Kate from Equal Vision to drive up and play Lisa's birthday barbeque. I said yes. However, I'm a huge flake and I decided the night before the barbeque to bail out so I didn't have to drive three hours up north. It was lame of me, I know. In my guilt I hastily wrote six or seven songs for Lisa and recorded them that night so at least she'd have her own special songs written for her on her birthday by the dude in the band she really liked who was bailing on playing her birthday bash. The next day, Ted, our old guitar player, delivered the tape to Lisa at the barbeque and I hadn't heard anything about any of this ever since. Remembering now, I still feel awful about it. I'm human. I should have gone and played her birthday. But Lisa's Birthday Tape turned out really cool, and I think she was stoked that she got her very own Chris Conley recordings. So hopefully she hasn't held a grudge. It's funny to hear about the tape now, cause I had LONG since forgotten about doing that. Thanks for reminding me about it. Oh! And if anyone wants to email me the recordings, I'd be happy to hear what they sound like. I don't even have a copy and can't remember how the songs go. All I remember is shame (hahaha). Peace out dawgs.
