Well hello once again to you all. What a weekend it was. We have so much to cover, so let's move right into it. Labor Day weekend was going to be a busy weekend with three shows and all for us. To make a long story short, the first two were cancelled leaving us with just one show for the whole weekend.
Now any other band would have been crying in their tears, but not us, we are a creative bunch and here's how it all panned out.
First, Friday’s show up to the Public House was cancelled as the owner who booked the show earlier in the year failed to let the band know what was going on when he sold the place to new owners. Poor excuse there but hey, you learn through your mistakes.
The pig roast scheduled for Saturday was cancelled due to a marriage breakup. Hey we all have been there before and Saturday’s weather for an outdoor show would have been a challenge once that front came through that afternoon. So what did we do you might ask?
Friday night we did a Mets game doubleheader no less up in Bingo town. The Mets got their asses kicked both games but the Fireworks were priceless.
Saturday morning we scheduled a SCB golf outing that took us from the golf course after completing 9 holes, right on down to the Central Hotel for an afternoon of beverage sampling. We did save a bit of sanity for that evening as we all gathered once again up to Applebee's for a band type dinner. See we make the best of any sour event. It's how we roll. Don't get mad and have more fun is our philosophy!
Special event deposits for our shows will be in the 2011 budget, you can count on that one. Oh and then we also found out this weekend that we did not get chosen for the head act up to BowBell's sportsman's club event next July. We thought after they finally fired Ellen and the boys that we would be the next up, but it didn't happen. But hey we went through this same thing with a club up in Endwell last year too. We are a very resilient group of lads and ya know other venues will come our way. You just gotta rethink your approach just in case they ever do call you, then it's on our' terms. That works for me.
Anyways, on to our Premiere Show at the Central. The tailgate party up to the ranch began at 2pm. Little did we know that the Short Change Band was going to playing a revival show that day. Yes, you heard it correctly – Revival, and it was featuring Steven B. Cook himself.
Gosh it's been probably fifteen years (at least) since Steve sat in and we couldn't wait for the magic to begin. And what a show it was, complete a with a whole bus load of Stinky Boys, fresh up from Susquehanna PA. We love these guys (and girls) as they always add a party flavor to everywhere they go. Thanks again guys for supporting the SCB! We enjoy the friendship and brotherhood. Great vocals too. I can still hear "Takin care of Business” in the back of my head!
And then about five hours (after it all began) it was over.
We would like to thank Steven B. for coming down and making a bit of magic with band. It’s been a long time bro... Don't make a stranger out of yourself cause we missed ya. Also I'm sure DD will be posting some great pictures from the evening as well on our website.
Nice job as always K.W. and D.D. as we smoked Sunday’s show!
And finally this week’s show. We have one show this Friday night at Jonathan's in Endwell NY. The show time is 9pm. We’ll see you there on Friday.
Have a great week and remember the kids are all back in school so drive carefully,
