Well it has definitely been a week of the torch being passed. Not only did we elect a new President this week, but the torch was passed from Eric to Mike. We'll be starting the new era tonight in Newport VT, and we're looking forward to the future with great reverence and remembrance of the past. All the best to E in his job, and come out and support our new boy as he gets his feet wet!

This Halloween was one of the best for costumes that we have seen in years. It is always great to see the ingenuity and frivolity that is generated from being able to dress up! Now we know why a man in a dress is always happy!? From the Crayons to Pocahontas to ghoulish knife thrower's assistants to Zena, queen of the jungle, the costumes ran the gamut and were great to see. Our special thanks to our additional kids on both nights that rounded out our Addams Family - Carolyn, Jess, Katrina and Clay for giving us the sheer numbers to round out the big and twisted family. Check out the pics, i think most of ours are up, and there are some beauties!

Special thanks to Kris Hansen for some great photos, and his work on the website, it is, as always a thankless job. Also, thanks to Daughtry for taking the stage with us on the 31st!

This week's awards go to:

The I wish I was Ray Charles award is generated by Logan's costume. cover up, buttercup! we love your unabashed brutal take on a 70's referee!

The let your hair down award goes to the Jager girls. they were actually interested in selling product, and did a great job!

The unsung award goes to Russ for fixing all the broken stuff that is beyond my scope. You rule!

And the narcolepsy award goes to the Nail cleanup crew. A big job was ahead of you as we were leaving Stowe on Saturday morning!

On a side note, I am trying to clean out the basement of some many years of extra band equipment. I'll have a list up on the website in the next week or so. Tell your musician friends, and check it out. I'll be doing crazy pricing on some well used but well maintained gear. Give me a couple days, and then look for it!
