ESPN, that is right ESPN, is reporting that the Gin Blossoms have resurfaced. They played a super bowl media party. Most of the article is drooling over burly men who play football or something. But here was the excerpt on the Gin Blossoms, as written by a sports reporter.

In a rather surprising development, the Gin Blossoms provided entertainment for the evening. In 1994, this would've been a coup for the Host Committee. Last night, it was just sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a sucker for "Hey Jealousy" and "Till I Hear it From You," but you could tell that the four members of the band were beaten men.

Lead singer Robin Wilson opened the set with a rousing "Hello Super Bowl 42 press corps, welcome to Arizona!" It was one of those moments where you didn't want to make eye contact with anyone for at least four or five minutes.

After a few songs, Wilson ordered a vodka and Red Bull from the stage. He then asked if his band members could have a few shots of Jack Daniels. The fact that he asked if the drinks were free makes me wonder about the band's finances. I never saw these men at their peak, but I'm thinking they probably didn't order drinks from the stage.

Every now and then, I could still hear the party emcee reminding guests to try the Cold Stone Creamery and FairyTale Brownies, which were amazing by the way.

On the way out of the party, we were handed pint glasses in the shape of a boot and Sonora Desert calendars. All in all, it was a nice evening. And I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't going to go home and dig up my Gin Blossoms CDs.
