Bike week started with a reunion party at Electra on Friday the 12th. It gave me a chance to catch up with a ton of old friends, and say hey to some new ones. Thanks for coming out and having fun with us! Thanks to Melissa and crew for organizing the event and getting everyone to come out. We look forward to seeing all y'all back in west leb next month! We started off bike week at the HD dealership in Meredith on Saturday, which was arguably the best weather of the week. We had great crowds from all over the place coming out to enjoy bike week and the cool setup that they have at Laconia Harley. It was a ton of fun, we all got some serious sun, and were home before the time we normally start playing on a Saturday. Special thanks to HELI bars, the burnout king, the save the Loons group, Rochelle's Boots on the Ground, Hart's, the Harley girls and all that had booths at LHD. Also special thanks to our contact Amanda, and the Deli family for having us at their fantastic event. Now we need to go play at their southern dealership in Orlando!

The rest of bike week was a bit of a soggy one as you who were there will note. We had some people on Thursday at the Harley Road Tour, but the rain kept most away. Great to see Gord out and getting a chance to catch up on things. Ian is going into High school next year. Boy are we all getting old fast! We had a blast with the Ivey boys who ride in the 12 foot ball of doom, as well as our new favorite juggler, Marcus Monroe. This dude was hilarious and just plain talented. Check him out at www.marcusmonroe.com, and look for him at a festival or cruise ship near you! Special thanks on this one to Jenna and Ed from HD in Milwaukee for having fun with us as well. We look forward to next year!

Friday and Saturday were another busy weekend of gigs with a benefit for Parker Warren Bolton. He is in need of a heart transplant, and it was nice to see so many familiar faces coming out to have fun with us and support a good cause. We wish the little guy the best in his battle. Thanks to Sarandis and the folks at the Red Blazer for hosting the event, and we hope to come back and play there again! We finished off the weekend with a return to Laconia HD, and had the clouds stick around, but not threaten rain until we were home. Again, we had a blast with some familiar faces, as well as a huge number of new friends that we hope to see out at the regular gigs. With all the food, fun and good times, how could we not have a blast. Michelle, I hope they get your bike fixed soon! Teri, keep it shiny side up, and don't forget to work out the "wrinkles"!

This weekend puts us back on a regular club schedule with our stops at the Rusty Nail and Whippersnappers. Yes, I said the Nail! It's been two months, and now that spring is over and summer is here, we can get back into the baddest ski bar in the land. I hope you made your plans for coming out and having fun with us. Since Sunday is NASCAR, we're glad to be reasonably close in Londonderry, and a Saturday night at Whips never disappoints. Come out, have fun and we'll see you there!
