The Grown Ups | 30Rock

May 2016

We were weird, artsy kids who finally found our tribe. We became fast friends and, somewhere along the way, family.

We’ve laughed (ALOT), cried, sung, danced, made music together. We’ve seen the beginnings of romances, heartbreaks, weddings, deaths, births. Conversations have shifted from living the dream of making music and being absolute rock stars to grown up things (injuries, illnesses, medications, babies, families). We’ve gone from pulling all-nighters for the fun of it to cutting gatherings short cos some have babies to go home to (and cos… We can’t really pull all-nighters anymore).

We’ve lived so attached to each other and, as life goes, apart. But we always come back together.

We met when we were in our late teens and early 20s. Now, we’re in our 30s. We’ve been in each others lives for 14 years now (I had to use the calculator but, yeah, I did the math!). I don’t know how else to put it.

P. S. I did the thing I’ve always wanted to do with these gatherings of ours: I recorded the sound of it all.
