Today Zac and I gave a name to our makeshift, unofficial record label: Buenotown Records.  We reached a decision on the name after only five minutes of deliberation...which might mean that it would not actually qualify as deliberation.  At any rate, it was the most decisive we've ever been.

The process reminded me a lot of a previous brainstorming session we had during our semester abroad in 2007, in which we attempted to come up with a band name.  The idea was to shout out names with zero inhibition.  Some of the suggestions were serious, but the exercise quickly turned into a joke, and, ultimately, the results were disastrous.  Here are some of my favorites from the 3+ pages of band name possibilities:

Filit Miggnon
Mango Salsa
Glokenspiel
Chicken and Sex
The World's Wigwam
Telepierna
Bed Biscuit
The Montage (nod to our Team America phase)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Batmen
Beer
V Words
B.O.S.B. (Band of Sweet Beards)

Also on the list were Buenotown and Born in the 80s, both of which have actually been used...so it wasn't a total waste of time.  

Oh, there was also this nice little progression of thought...all frontrunners for our next band after Juno Day:
