upcoming dates!

Can you say exciting? We can. Friday was exciting because it was the next to last time at the Anchorage for this season, the last one is this coming Thursday – keep an eye out for times, because the goal is to “kick the keg” so to speak and clean out the bar for the winter. So, you can expect some unusual drink specials and plenty of other fun to close the season out. Make a note for Thursday, October 12, and make a night of it! Then here comes Saturday. We are having a fantastic gig at the Rusty Nail, tons of people, great dinner crowd, couldn’t get better – or could it? In walks Robert Randolph and his crew. For those of you who don’t recognize the name, he’s the first pedal steel player to make the cover of Guitar Player magazine. He and his buddy Joey Bizzle got up and jammed a few impromptu tunes with us at the end of the night, and then hung around and hopefully had some fun with us after hours. A great time was had by all, and all I can say is, let’s do it again! We rarely get the opportunity to share the stage with someone of his stature, and we look forward to seeing him again soon, and having some fun. Thanks to the limo crew for the pix that we should have on the website soon! It was a little slice of heaven for all of us, and reminds us that you never know…..

So thanks to all that were playing with us and lasted to the wee hours to have a little extra fun. This weekend brings us back to whips for a 2 nighter. We hope that the excellent turnout we had last time will transfer again to this weekend as we look forward to the better temperatures for dancing and not sweating your head off! October is a busy month as we wind down to the end of Gordo’s time behind the skins for the kid, so if you get a chance, come out and say hey, and wish him all the best. New and exciting announcements coming soon on our replacement status. It’s been a difficult process with some great drummers, but we’re getting close!

This week’s awards go to:

The paparazzi award goes to the Newport Limo crew, for some great pics, and some hilarious highjinks.

The random stage crash award goes to Robert Randolph for making our night, and making us think of other tunes to do next time!

The conversationalist award goes to Colleen, who had some interesting words of wisdom for all of us at the end of the gig on Saturday.

And the narcolepsy award goes to Jason and me, for making it to 930 service at the church we just finished a huge install at. 1 hour 20 min sleep, from Saturday am, to Sunday pm. Ouch baby!
