The Bird and The Bee

Wednesday at work my company, GREY Worldwide, hosted a free rock concert for a group called The Bird and The Bee. I got the invite last week that said free lunch, and you'd think that would be enough to draw some people, right, but I dismissed it because I had no interest in what looked like some ole no-name, hippie/folksy rock and roll people.

But it's good to be open minded, so I went to check them out. (That reason and because I got another e-mail that specifically said "INTERNS, join us for this event") Apparently, the group had played at Carnegie Hall the night before, so they may be kind of a big deal...one day soon. The first song was called "Fucking Boyfriend," and the sound is more techno pop, kind of like the group Everything But the Girl. (Trust me, you know a song by that group, look them up)

So imagine you're at work and a lady is in your office in the corner singing "Would you ever be my fucking boyfriend?" I laughed everytime she sang the chorus. And as you know by now, I'm a fan of people who write their own songs and play their own instruments. Im not saying they're the hottest band in the world; in fact, they gave free CDs and I just keep listening to the boyfriend song, but I'm glad I went because it was an unusual event and it reminded me that I have a wonderful opportunity this summer being in New York. I'm interning at a major ad agency that does commercials for many big name clients, such as Procter & Gamble, which means just about every product in your house, from COVERGIRL to Downy to Pantene, we probably made the commercials for it.
