It has been a rough one with all the snow, and then a dead computer to add insult to injury. Sorry I didn’t get an email out to all of you last week, I was still retrieving stuff off of the old laptop and adding it to the new laptop. Thanks to windows mail for making that so easy – NOT!

With that in mind, I have recompiled the email list. If you feel that you are receiving this email in error and do not want to, please respond with “remove” in the subject line, and I will remove you from the weekly list. If you feel that you are a customer of mine at daddy’s, and shouldn’t be on this list, but should be on THAT list, please reply with “daddy” in the subject line and I will move you over!

Now, with that out of the way, we had a blast at Whips and the Matterhorn this past weekend. It was so great to see some of the Maine regulars back, and we’re so happy to see you again! Don’t be a stranger! We want a fantastic winter with lots of repeats, and we’ll try to make it so you don’t get sick of us! Many thanks to Michelle, Mark and the whole crew at Whips, and Greg, Becca, Roger and Patrice at the Matterhorn for always making us feel special!

This weekend is a rare double shot at the Rusty Nail. Fridays are usually few and far between, and gigs back to back are even more infrequent, so we’re doing some special locals party thing for our regulars from NH and VT that come to see us at the Nail. Friday night will have some giveaways of LKP gear, and who knows what else will happen! We’re trying to show that two nights at the nail can be a regular thing, so come out Friday and show support, and then come back Saturday and add to the madness! We need to send out our special thanks to the folks at Baker distributors for helping out with the radio advertising, and very special thanks to TnT for making it all happen. Tiff and Tarin are getting the word out in Stowe, and we are awed by your energy and your greatness! We bow in your presence!

Last week’s awards go to:

The 110dB award goes to all you crazies cranking it up and ripping the knob off! You know who you are!

The best service award goes to Michelle for always taking great care of us!

The best late night present award goes to the double gimp!

And the narcolepsy award goes to Jamie.

What a great new year's eve! I hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday. My apologies to anyone who came up to see us Saturday night only to discover that we had played the happy hour and there were a slew of dj's mixing for the evening. If you came up, come back on February 11 and 12 and we'll definitely take care of you at the Wobbly! Thanks to the fantastic staff for taking such great care of us.
This week has us back in Manchester at the Derryfield on Friday, and returning to the Matterhorn for our first gig at Sunday river this season! We're looking forward to both, and hope that all y'all come out to have a blast with us.
On a sad note, after almost 10 years, the Benning street Bar and Grill and Electra Nightclub closed their doors Christmas weekend. We're sorry to see the club go, and hope that we'll be finding a new place to play in the upper valley. We'll just have to see what happens, and I hope that we'll be back playing somewhere in west leb/ white river soon!
The gorilla foot award goes to Kyle for bustin' his bass drum pedal mid gig on Friday night.
The "I didn't go to Cambridge either" award goes to the zipperhead that thought that it was a good idea to question someone's education while standing there in a sweater that his mother obviously picked out for him. Hey, I didn't know they let you wear garanimals at Cambridge, either!
The best hair award goes to MC Theo. If I did a 'do like that, it would look like a pack of hairy hot dogs on the back of my head!
And the narcolepsy award goes to all of us who needed a nap after a long weekend.
