Welcome to the Oreo Gallery!!
It is here where you can view all of the adventures of a traveling miniature baby grand piano named Oreo and her trusted sidekick Buttercup. They are on a mission to travel all around the world.
December 17, 2008: Midwood Park in Charlotte, NC
While I was in Charlotte, North Carolina to do a couple of shows, I dropped off Oreo and Buttercup at one of my favorite spots in the city-Midwood Park. Complete with a playground, outdoor amphitheater, soccer field, and picnic shelter, it seemed like the ideal place for them to frolic while I took care of some business around town. Well, they got into a bit of trouble.
See for yourself . . . .
Not long after Balthazar and I left them, they proceeded to climb a rather bizarre purple mountain and smiled with glee and delight once they got to the very top . . .
"Yay!!! Whhhheeeee!!"
Little did they know that they just climbed atop the back of a gi-normous PURPLE DINOSAUR MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
Suddenly, B was in terrible danger of being eaten ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oreo!! HELP ME!!!"
Then in a flash of lightning and thunderous dissonant keys, Oreo swooped in and grabbed Buttercup from the bloodthirsty fangs of the PURPLE DINOSAUR MONSTER!!!!!! They got away in a sweet blue Cadillac Convertible that Oreo stole from a car dealership earlier in the day.
Escaping with the top down!! Aww Yeah!!!
Later on . . . .
B: Oh come on, it’s not that dirty, and it’s more than JUST a water fountain. It’s an oasis!
O: Um, whatever.
B: Yeah, that’s right, I’m about to spread my legs and stretch. Don’t even think of staring at my junk!
O: Gross.
B: Seriously, you’re missing out!
O: You just talked me into climbing a purple mountain that turned out to be an angry PURPLE DINOSAUR MONSTER!! I risked my ivory soul to save your life!!! I’m not letting you talk me into anything ever again.
B: Okay fine. By the way, I know where The Asian keeps the Old English Wood Polish.
O: Ugh!!! SHUT UP!!! You do? Damn, you know I LOVE me some Old English.
B: Heck yeah, come on in, and I’ll tell you where he hides it.
O: Alright, fine. You win.
B: That’s right I do.
All in all, it was a day full of adventure. When Balthazar and I returned, we searched the entire playground only to find them hiding in here . . .
Peekaboo!!
They’re so silly!!!
More adventures to come! Stay tuned!!
August 7, 2008: A Day In the Park
Today, I took O and B to the park for some fun and frivolity. Here is evidence of the mayhem that quickly ensued . . .
Weee!!! Going Down the Slide!!!
Just chillin' on a park bench.
There's Buttercup taking a dip in the pool.
Climbing the treacherous rubber mountain!!!
"Come on Oreo, get up here!"
There's Buttercup just swinging away!
Tired and thirsty.
