just a quick note. we had a blast at whips and the west shore last week, and then had some fine vittles and candy for the Easter holiday. hope that all of you had a great weekend and are getting ready for another great one.

we'll be kicking it out at Electra tonight with the prequel to the Girls Gone Wild bus that will be there on Saturday night. come out and strut your stuff at our practice GGW party! doors open at 8:30 tonight. then we'll be off to Stowe for the finale of the season at the Nail. I hope that you can all make it out to play with us!

we'll be taking next weekend off, for a little R and R and getting ready for the spring and summer season. the schedule will be updated to show you all of the cool spots we'll be kicking it out this summer!

last week was a wash on getting a newsletter done, and i apologize for my lack of diligence. busy weeks make for thursday or friday morning quarterbacking to get the news out. i have vowed to be better about this, but can't seem to do it. maybe i need to end my sunday with it, and then not worry about it for the week! or, just make myself pick some time and get it done. well, thursday am it is!
we had a great weekend back after some vacation time, and some new songs to boot! we are really trying to make an effort to get a ton of new material into the setlist, so be ready for some changes, and some new stuff to dance to!
i'll get to the awards in a minute, but i need to do a platinum award first to Bill Carrier and his welding world of wonders. it's amazing how two simple pieces on the ramp get rid of all of our problems, and make us all happy on load in and load out. cheers to you, Bill, for being a real man of genius! we salute you and offer you a tasty cold beverage for us to toast you with! Mr. loading ramp welding perfector!

in other awards:
the fabulous cleavage award goes to Kim, she said i had to give this to her, and with good reason. don't believe? check it out next friday at whips!

the scartacular award goes to Logan, get better man, that looks like it hurts!

the best text award goes to Eric G. if you need to laugh out loud, this was the one, as long as you're not at the office and surrounded by people who can hear your phone!

the most unexpected crowd award goes to the matterhorn, last saturday, before bust and burn THIS saturday is usually quiet. not this year!

and the best birthday party goes to organizer Tara, and best boy Matt, for having a great time, and letting us be part of it.

and the narcolepsy award goes to me, for being oldest and most tired most of the time.
