upcoming lkp dates!

What sort of comments can you have on a weekend that holds a longtime return to an old favorite, an event called bust and burn, and April fool’s day? I’m not sure if they have a term for it, but it sure was fun!  A great crowd in West Leb, and a crazy crowd in Maine to finish off a fantastic season.  We had a blast with our buddies at Electra, with a slew of old friends showing up to bring back the memories of a packed dance floor, and lots of positive energy, we had a great time, and look forward to the future dates back at Electra.  Our final show at the Matterhorn was not hampered by the fact that this was probably the worst snow season on record.  We played an enormous number of dates for Roger, Greg and the rest of the crew, and we loved every minute of it.  This has become one of our favorite wintertime destinations, with fantastic food, the best regulars, and a ton of fun every time we hit the stage.  It’s a joy to play in a room that has such positive energy, and we look forward to next season with the hopes that mother nature will be a little kinder to the skiers and other snow loving activities, so we can all enjoy some fine trails to traverse!

 

This weekend is a northern tour.  Newport, VT and West Stewartstown, NH.  This may possibly be our last time at the Lucky Dog Pub, with the landlord pulling the lease on Pete.  Well, not knowing all the details, I will simply say that this stinks, and we’ll be finding a venue to play with Pete in the Newport area, so keep your eyes on the lookout for a LKP and Pete productions event somewhere up there.  We’ve been playing for Pete on and off for the better part of 15 years, and that relationship will continue for the foreseeable future.  After packing the Dog, so to speak, we’ll be off to the Outback in West Stewartstown to finish off our Northern tour.  If you have any reason to head north, come up and play with us.  It’s always a blast, and we’re looking for your smiling faces to have fun with.  Check it all out, and we’ll see you there!

 

This week, the awards go to:

 

The jungle room award goes to the Trail’s End motel.  It’s the end of the trail alright, with some questionable décor to say the least! 

 

The Warren award goes to the Dunkin Donuts in Gorham.  What do you want with your coffee?  Franks and beans!

 

The farmer song award goes to the entire security staff at the Matterhorn.  Borrowed from Carey, enjoyed by all, we thank you for the request!

 

And the narcolepsy award goes to the earplug company that allows eric to sleep through my snoring!
