Geocache Description:


Inspired by all-girl bands Bananarama and The Bangles, The Girls of Summer started out as a garage band/tupperware club in suburban Dallas. Their first shot at stardom came in 1993, at the first Lollapalooza in Fair Park. The Girls held their own against the other acts, but tragedy struck when bass player Gilliansage was moshed by a flying monkey. The rest, as they say, is rock 'n roll history; they've been together ever since.

Their breakout performance came as opening act for Spinal Tap, at a concert in Hot Springs, Arkansas. When the members of Spinal Tap were delayed getting to the venue, countsmama stretched out the song "Cornstarch Daze" with a thirty-minute drum solo that had the crowd on its feet. There wasn't a working lighter in the house after that, and several second-degree thumb burns were reported.

It was off to the studio now, where The Girls of Summer recorded their first single, Dreamcacher V's soulful ballad, "Workin' That Love Pump", along with the B-side "Phat-Bottomed Boyz Sure Do Make Noiz", featuring a Spike Jones-style kazoo solo by SandbassQueen.

With their star now rising, Rolling Stone magazine approached The Girls about doing a nude photo shoot for its latest cover. It was soon discovered, however, that GGGal and drives had some inappropriate tattoos, so the project was quietly cancelled.

The Girls still kick around today, mostly in small Texas towns. But wherever they appear, many of the townspeople venture out........just to be with The Girls of Summer.

Cache is a camo painted tupperware container, stocked with goodies.

Co-ordinates were determined with a Garmin 60Cx with WAAS enabled, under moderate tree cover, averaged over a three minute span, to an accuracy of 12.8 ft.

Enjoy!
