What a great couple of weeks! It was fantastic to catch up with the folks in Manchester on the 16th, head off to Maine and kick things off with a great night at Rick's on the 17th, and then pack main street in Newport, VT this past Saturday! We miss playing up north, and the number of folks out in the street showed us that there are still lots of fun loving people up there to play with! We just need a place to play.

My favorite part of the past couple of weeks was the unexpected crossing of paths with former world champion boxer Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Just a random run in with a boxing great at Rick's. Who'd a thunkit! All I can say is way cool, and it was a pleasure to shake your hand.

Coming up we have a great weekend for those of you in central and northern Vermont. Gusto's Friday, with a huge beach party going on, and then On Tap in Essex on Saturday to round out a great weekend. We hope you can make it out and play with us!

Friday the 6th at Electra has been cancelled. Seems like people don't like to hang in West Leb in the summer. We'll see how things go in the fall. But, we're still headed to west Stewartstown on the 7th, so get ready for some wild woods fun!

This week's awards go to:

The trooper award goes to cousin Pete. Hang around late enough, and all the parties are over. All you get is breakdown and a bed. Welcome to the world of rock and roll!

The most dangerous man in the room award goes to the aforementioned Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Thankfully fists of fury were replaced by a gentleman, and we all got to stand in the presence of one of the greats.

The impatient award goes to the stage guy from Aquafest. The event was great, the event hosts were great, and then this French shower Ziploc is breaking the stage down around us in the dark. How about five minutes, Clyde? We'll even clean up our mess. OK, we won't and I'll guarantee my anger will be even greater if we have the pleasure of dealing with you next year.

And the narcolepsy award does not go to Riley. Daddy gets back at 2, riley's up at 530! Sweet.
