Happy 311 Day!

In college we were introduced to a band called 311.  Their first album was called "Music," but I really found them on their "Grassroots" album.  I remember that summer very well... just jamming the heck out of that CD.  Heading back to college and introducing it to others... then "311" or "The Blue Album" came out and blew Alternative Radio off the charts... songs like "All Mixed Up," "Down," "Misdirected Hostility."  After this album, the country... and probably the world caught on and said... these guys just rock!  And they do.  Since those albums, the band has gone on to record many, many more groovalicious cuts.  My favorite album is easily "Transistor," but "Evolver" comes in a close second.  "Creatures" will just knock you backwards... even my kids love it!  Each March 11th (3-11) is celebrated as 311 day.  Break out the albums, call the radio stations, wear your shirts, call your friends... celebrate.  A pack of delicious cookies from Bella's Cookies, maybe some homemade caramels from Verdi Good... oooh, the DVD from 4 years ago... 311 day concert in New Orleans (which they just finished again today)... watch it, borrow it, own it!  Perfect combinations for a perfect day.  Happy 311 Day!
