upcoming lkp dates!

This was one for the record books.  Ever have a great time three days in a row, and have everyone around you have a great time?  This was the case, baby!  Thursday was a great night at the Brimmer, with our “acoustic” night – which really needs to be called a stripped night, because the crowd is there to dance, and we can’t just do Jim Croce tunes and expect everyone to have a good time. So, it’s upbeat, and fun and packed!  We love having a Thursday that acts like a weekend night, and we thank the Brimmer for making it happen.  After a night like that, we turn to a Friday night at one of our oldest haunts.  The Anchorage started a little quiet for dinner, and we thought that the rainy weather might keep the folks away from our one dockside gig.  Boy were we mistaken!  The Anchorage packed itself up to capacity, and the dancers were out in force.  If you have never been to this bar, it is a restaurant in the front, where the band plays, the kitchen is in the middle, and the bar is in the back, so there are 2 rooms connected by a long hallway of seating along the water.  Needless to say, getting from one end to the other was quite the task with all the people packed in there. We had a fantastic time, and couldn’t possibly expect to have the third gig of the week compare to the other 2.  I guess we were right.  Our dear friends Berni and Arti got married on Saturday, and their wedding more resembled a night club with all the dancing and fun that we had.  Several new stage records were set, and we tested the limit of how many people can sing and dance on a 16 x 10 stage!  Just unbelievable.  We thank the newlyweds for having us, and keeping us on our toes! 

 

This week is the abbreviated week in comparison, and we will crank it out on Friday only.  Due to a schedule conflict, we will only be able to do Friday night at Whippersnappers, and Saturday will be another one of the fine Whips bands.  So, don’t be confused, and come out only once, come out to see 2 bands at Whips, and enjoy a great weekend. We will be looking forward to our Friday night festivities and hope that you can come out and play.

 

This week’s awards go to….

 

The Napoleon Dynamite award goes to Natalie for hitting me with some of the classic lines from that movie, and cracking me up.  I like your sleeves, they’re real big…..

 

The sweaty Betty award goes to Steve for dancing to almost every song, and challenging my status as the candidate for most likely to melt!

 

The “yeah, right” award goes to the chief of police from Sunapee, and the liquor inspector for coming to the Anchorage on Friday, and suggesting that everyone needed to be seated.  OK, we’ll get right on that.

 

The Tenacious award goes to the entire wedding party who ended the wedding festivities with us from the stage, singing their hearts out.

 

The sax attack award goes to Arti’s mom for coming up and playing some serious music!

 

And the narcolepsy award goes to Rachel for finding her jammies and a place to crash at the wedding after party.  Sleep, o tired one!
