So, ever have one of those weekends where everything is sweet! Weather on Friday made for us thinking that spring was well on the way, and the crowds were out in Londonderry. We saw a lot of familiar faces, but continue to see new ones out as you boys and girls come out to check on the new lineup. We’re having a blast with a lot of new songs, and more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. Friday quickly became Saturday, and we headed north to Maine for the next to last installment at the Matterhorn. I was a little worried when we started because it was a bit quiet in comparison, but things quickly picked up and a regular nutty night attacked us as usual! School girl Saturday was great as usual, but it seemed like the desire of the staff was lacking in comparison to 80’s night. Maybe a couple of new themes will bring back the energy.

This weekend we’ll be hitting the slopes at Jay peak on Friday, and Stowe on Saturday. This will be our last gig at D’Cota’s for a while. It sounds like they’re closing down the bar for mud season, at least when it comes to bands, and will be back up for the summer. More on this as I know more. We’re putting out the call to all Newportians and Derbyites to get your buns to Jay and fire it up for this Friday night! Saturday puts us back in Stowe, and the schedule at the Rusty Nail is up in the air for the end of the season as well. the April 9 date that is on the calendar is probably a no go, but depending on snow, we may just sneak back over there a bit later in the month if the skiing is still there. We’ll let you know!

This week’s awards go to:

The MacGyver award goes to me! Fixing stuff on Saturday took us from a haze free night to smoke filled. I love it when stuff can be fixed on the fly!

The die-hard award goes to Cheryl and Kristin for 3 out of 4 gigs in 2 weeks. You guys are NUTS! But we love you for it.

The newbie award goes to Malorie, Katherine, Chau and Mia for kicking off their first LKP show with a bang, and we hope you come back for more fun!

The party like a rock star award goes to Never in Vegas – they were playing up the road in Sunday River, and came down to play with us after they were done. Trays of shots and some hijinks later, we didn’t see them at the end of the night. I guess we should have told the bouncers they were friends of ours so they wouldn’t throw them out! Too much fun and too funny. You boys are great and out of your minds in a good way! See you when we play next door to each other!
