Welcome to the inaugural entry of "D Sgraceful," a weekly look into my thoughts, feelings, and things that annoy me. First off, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brogan and I am part of a well-unknown (at least for now) party band called HotD. We play the greater Philly area and beyond, mainly now in Manayunk, West Chester, Bucks County, and Collegeville. We played King of Prussia once, but let's not talk about that. Whatever you want to hear, we play it. Whatever you dont want to hear, we probably play it too! But enough of the plugging, if you want to know more about the band and the establishments we grace with our presence, head on over to http://www.hotdrocks.com/. The site was designed by my singer's sister, Katie Templin. I didnt like her at first because she questioned my sense of direction and my sexuality, but her fiance is cool as shit so she must not be all that bad (i kid, she rocks!!)
For my first entry, I want to discuss a topic that every single person encounters on a daily basis. Stock Market??? NO. Major weather issues and natural disasters??? TRY AGAIN. No, what I'm talking about is the over-abundance of handicapped parking at 7-11s. Seriously, think about it. You go to a 7-11 and there are maybe 5 parking spots in front of the store, sometimes 4 (I'm looking at you Manayunk). And how many of them are handicapped?? At least 2 every time. WHY??? Every single spot is equidistant (spellcheck that) from the door. And everyone loves slurpees and Philly Blunts (15 yearold skaters especially), so there is always more than 5 people in the store. This means that I either have to be that guy that blocks someone in who will clearly be leaving before me, or i gotta wait till someone comes out. I urge you all to write your Congressmen and demand that 7-11 have a max of 1 handicapped spot. If I ruled the world, I'd abolish them completely from the chain. Big shout out to WaWa for doing it right. 2 handicapped spots and about 20 others up for grabs. No wonder they are taking over the world.
Next week I will be updating you all (which will probably be about 10 of my close friends) on the madness that is Labor Day Weekend in Sea Isle City, NJ. Unlike my good friend Dan Stanzcyk, who is a producer for ESPN radio and an unreal blogger, I will name names early and often.
Im out, bc it's impossible to type while Ricky Bottalico is on TV. Get over it dude, you weren't that good.
