upcoming lkp dates and gord's last weekend

As 10 years have passed, we have reached the actual anniversary for the decade of the Kid. Per his wishes to move on and try some other things, Gordy will be performing in his final 2 gigs with the band this weekend. It has been a decade of many changes, and the one consistent thing that has been throughout the years is Gord behind the drumset. We wish him the best, and hope that he enjoys his future endeavors, whatever they may be. So, the transition period begins for the new skin man…

Some of you may have met him as he has been shadowing at gigs for a few weeks, but here it is, the introduction of Mr. Kyle Flewelling – the second drummer for the Kid, and we hope for equal longevity! Kyle is a Newport, NH boy with a passion for hitting round things and shiny things. We look forward to the years to come with this new Kid in the driver’s seat!

Now, with all that being said, we had a wild and wooly one this past weekend, with sunshine, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and moose (had to get the wooly in there somewhere). Friday night at the Nail was a little slower than usual, but power outages in the area, high winds and crazy weather will change a lot of people’s minds about travel. We had a blast at the Nail as always, and then headed northeast. Saturday was probably the best crowd we have ever had at the Outback, and we will have to remember that the first weekend of Moose season is a good time to play up there. The roads were clear of moose, because they were more often seen in the back of trucks, or on trailers! Wow, some big buggers were seen on Sunday morning on the way home at the weigh-in station in Pittsburg. We made it home safe and sound, and only saw some foxes in our late night travels. Thanks to all the Elmer Fudd’s for keeping the roads moose free!

Here are this week’s awards:

The chemistry award goes to the band that stayed at the Nail band house the week before us. Not sure what was in the sink, but it didn’t smell too good. Also, one of the band members must have been Chewbacca considering what was in the bathroom sink! Which brings us to award #2 –

The safe haven in the night award goes to the Comfort Inn in St. Johnsbury, VT. Clean beds and bathrooms, and late checkout if you arrive at 5am!

The big meat award goes to Matt and the staff at the Outback for a killer steak!

The unbelievable breakfast sandwich award goes to the Outback/Spa as well. 2 eggs, cheese, and bacon on a huge croissant. Wow!

The persistence award goes to our Poison advocate on Saturday night!

The idiot award goes to me, because I forgot to announce the birthday for the girls up from Mass on Saturday night! Oops!

And the narcolepsy award goes to Eric for sleeping so soundly that he broke the bed.
