Short Change Band - Mid July 2010

Greetings to you all and a Happy Mid-July. Wow, where is the year going? It's a mere 106 days ‘til Election Day. We must all remember the new taxes you will have to pay or are currently paying and the price we pay just to be a "New Yorker" is ridiculous. It's time to clean house and start over again. Remember, if you don't vote, you really can't complain when your smokes go up, your clothes are once again taxed, your Star Program is gone, and Your taxes all climb to the moon. You won't even be able to tan your ass anymore without a tax on that now too. Just putting the bug in your ear as we now enter into Mid-July without a completed New York State Budget - absolutely a disgrace. Enough said here...

Anyway, last weekend was a good weekend. We played 2 shows on Saturday that pretty much took up about 11 hours of the day between performances and travel time. But they were both a fun time. The Colesville Super Celebration was the gig that wasn't supposed to happened - and happened well. The show was a bit smaller this year than years past, but none the less it was well organized and you couldn't have asked for a better day of weather.

We played a hot 2-hour set with the only break for the Hottest Wing eating contest. There were actually several people who signed up for this contest - both male and females. Now when they serve these at Gramma's most people can only eat two or three of these fire wings, but the winner ate 21. Wow! You go A.J! I can't wait for next year’s competition. I even offered to help out with the next one. As a biker we have had our share of setting up and running various competitions under our belts. Nice Job Aaron and Amy. Patience is a virtue.

On to Lisa’s Party. All I can say here is - the crowd was good - the food was good - and the beer never stopped flowing. As the band would sing "we had a real good time". Thanks Lisa and Robin for having us again. Happy Anniversary goes out to Chuck and your charming wife.
On to this weekend... New Location - Dino's Bar and Grill on Conklin Road in Binghamton N.Y. The Show begins at 8:30 p.m. Ride up on your scoot, drive your car - but come up. Help us make our first show up here a memorable one. We don't want to be asked into the first set by the owner- "Don't ya got no friends" (Famous quote there)

Be Well, Be Safe and hope to see you all the show Friday night - Indoors or outdoors, we will be ready to rock!

Peace and Love,

Mikee^^ Dee
