Subject: LKP AT WHIPS AND OUTBACK THIS WEEKEND!

well, the old leg is getting better. actually stood up for both gigs this weekend! we had a blast on Friday at Electra with a bunch of folks who also got to enjoy a few tunes from Sony Red artists Jamie Wray (sp?) and HiFi. we learned a few tunes with them Friday afternoon and got to bang out a handful of songs that we tried like hell to remember! all was well and we rolled off into the night. the following night was a barnburner at the west shore pub in Newport, VT. packed is the word and hot and humid were the conditions. we saw every fun loving person in town I think, because there was no room for any more! we had a blast and enjoyed the late night vittles and no available hotel rooms for 50 miles and cruised it home in the wee hours of the morning.

Jason and I had the pleasure of checking out AC/DC on Tuesday night at Gillette in Foxborough. Huge. just )(*^#&% HUGE. where are they now documentarians Anvil were the openers, and boy, they need to turn the vocals up. just buried in a sea of double bass and guitar feedback. as former drummer Keith who also attended said: "shark sandwich? it only had a 2 word review....." spinal tap lovers will get this one. Brian and Angus used the whole huge stage while Malcolm and the rhythm section stayed put by the drum set. wow. a ginormous stage for 2 guys that actually got to use it! impressive sound, lights, pyro and pageantry. well worth the trip. PS - hey guys, figure out the parking and egress deal so someone who parks on the southbound side doesn't have to go north for a mile, U turn and then come back through all the crap. also thanks Mass DOT for working on 495 and closing all but 1 lane in 5 locations on the way home. again, well worth the trip, but took a bit to get home!

this weekend we'll be banging it out at Whippersnappers in Londonderry tonight, and up to West Stewartstown at the Outback tomorrow. Hope that all can make it out and have some fun.

awards go to:

the beer guys at Gillette, I was the last guy served as they shut it down before the boys hit the stage

Blanch for his handy pre ordering at Uno's before the show

HiFi for letting us learn some tunes and not getting bummed when "you lost me at OH!"

Dr. Mosenthal and staff for fixing my broken parts!

and mother nature for safe late night driving and 2 bears sighted (I think it was the same one, once north and once south) on 93 by Littleton
