upcoming lkp dates!

I can’t say enough how busy the past couple of weeks have been.  Between gigs, day job and just everyday life, my time in front of the computer has been limited to say the least.  So, without further ado, I’ll get right to what’s been going on with the kid.  A couple of Whips gigs, totally amazing nights with all the fixin’s.  Friday makes a mean salmon oscar, and the staff always treats us like Joe Namath on the Brady Bunch!  Then turn last weekend with the Lucky Dog and Matterhorn.  It always amazes me how many people come out in Newport, VT.  There is a packed bar, with some regulars, but there are always a bunch of new faces as well.  Keep em coming, and we’ll keep having a great time.  Our home away from home in the wilds of Maine is almost coming to the end of the season.  The Matterhorn, Greg, Roger and the rest of the guys and dolls are constantly making us laugh, and keeping us returning to see what will happen next.  If you have never been there, get in your car, and join us at the end of March or beginning of April – it is not a place to miss!

 

This weekend turns our central Vermont tour with a night in Barre, and a night in Stowe.  Gusto’s and the Rusty Nail are 2 of our favorites, (if you haven’t gotten the memo, we really don’t play any place that isn’t one of our faves)  and rocking out on St. Patty’s day weekend sounds like a great idea to me.  So put on your green skivvies, and rock out with your… well you know what I mean. ;-)

 

This week’s awards start off with a couple of special ones.  We did a benefit for Ali Wise and her other triathlon buddies who will be doing a triathlon in Memphis.  The event raised money for leukemia and lymphoma, and was a great time.  We were the middle band, surrounded by Beer, Bait and Ammo, and Intergalactic Taxi.  The event was at Higher Ground in Burlington, and was a blast.  The folks at Higher Ground and Ali et al really know how to make you feel like a rock star.  Green room with food, and gifts, and access to the balcony overlooking the main room where the Saw Doctors were putting on an amazing show.  We had a blast and we want you to know it.  Thanks for having us, and we’ll hopefully see Burlington again soon!  In addition to the hosts being great, we had some great fans.  Special thanks goes to Jenn S. for making the trip even though her friends all bagged out on her.  We were so happy to see you there, and I feel bad that we didn’t have a ton of time to spend with you.  You made the longest trip of all of our buddies, and we totally appreciate you and all you do.  You are a dear friend to all of us, and we give you our highest praise, and the gold medal for making the effort.  You Rock!  Our other friends, Amie et al, made us realize that we should be finding a way to get up to Burlington more often.  We’ll see what we can do.  Maybe Higher Ground needs a night with the kid!  Put in your requests, and we’ll see what we can do.

 

Here are the additional awards:

 

The patience of a saint award goes to the staff at the Lucky Dog for putting up with some questionable patrons.  We see it, and we think you deserve an award for putting up with it.

 

The TMI award goes to Greg for reminding me that there are some audio tracks on my computer that I probably shouldn’t have transferred to his ipod.  Well, you get the bad sounding recordings of LKP, along with some great stories, and a few thousand tunes to keep you busy.  Delete, delete, delete…

 

The wrong place wrong time award goes to us, for not seeing all the stuff that Ross and Greg were doing at the bar.  Body shots, etc. should be done in front of the band!

 

The obscure reference award goes to all the bouncers and staff at the Matterhorn who come up with some great requests.  We’ll do what we can, but we only know so much culture club!

 

And the insomnia award goes to Eric for being strung out on red bull, and dealing with my snoring.  Hey, what’s the big deal, I can sleep through it!?!
