Well hello to you all as we continue on through the final weeks of summer 2010. For the most part you could not have asked for a better summer if you ordered it up from scratch. Enjoy what's left of it in the next couple of weeks as we are sure to have frost on the pumpkin one morning before you know it.
Last week marked my return to the band after being out of town for the last two weeks. It felt good to get back to the "egg" so to speak. Saturday was our “almost Annual Yacht Club” show that takes place in the awesome town of Watkins Glen. We originally had plans to bring out the camper and set up shop at the resort for the weekend, but the weather kinda put a damper on that. We were able to salvage the Saturday afternoon part as you can see our little "tailgate central' that we set up in the back forty of the club. 
And as always we like to include the trademark “whiskey bottle” at all of our overnight events and this one was no exception. We were able to partake in a new product by the name of Crown Royal (Black). It was quite tasty with much less bite than the Jack... Maybe a change in the wind for the future - ya never know? Nice job Canada.
Anyway on to the show. We brought along the upscale acoustic show for this venue and I think for the most part it was just what the doctor ordered. Not to loud, not to soft, perfect. Our crowd stayed packed till we took our first break nearly two hours into the show (it was a smokin' set) We commenced the night at about 12:30 to a remaining few hard core dancers. We did play our hearts out and it showed. Nice job guys, it felt good to be back with my brothers - like I never left! (Priceless)
We spent the night indoors at the club and then back on the road home Sunday morning. (185 miles later) the trip ended much as it began. Another priceless weekend and this one was out of town, but none the less we rocked em'... and then the rain came.
So now this week we are on to the Afton Sportsman's Club annual ticket raffle party. This is one of the most enjoyable events of the summer and we are hoping for some awesome weather to send it out to as well. Still some tickets available with some big high ticket prizes associated with it. Get a few people to split that $100 ticket if you can't swing it on your own. It's to support the club and helps pay the bills up there too.
If you haven't seen the club lately - you gotta check it out. Donnie and Patrick and few of the other members up there really dialed in the old club and made some really nice improvements and updates to it too. Hope to see you all there on Saturday. We will be rolling in around noon, so come spend the day.
How about some history in rock and roll linage.
1. Ringo Starr quits the Beatles this week in 1968 only to be talked back in by Paul to finish work on the White Album.
2. Billy Joel Divorces Christie Brinkley this week in 1994
3. Gene Simmons od KISS is 61
Be well- be good - be safe,
