Flinchy's - 3/8/06 - Camp Hill, PA

A cool night at Flinchy's. A few LVC friends came down, Dan and Mike (who was wearing his Freddie Long t-shirt). Very cool of them to come and listen and it was great to just sit and talk with them about life. Quite a few musicians in the house, too. Chuck from No Shame (playing at Flinchy's this Saturday night) was hangin out and it was good to see him..

Shea Quinn from The Sharks and the Luv Gods also showed up at the bar later in the night. I had never actually met or heard of Shea or the Sharks before (although he looked familiar--the guy just looks like a rockstar), but after talking with him and Chuck I was extremely impressed. The Sharks had been pretty huge in the 80s and were on a major label (Elecktra), winning contests and having several videos on MTV. Shea also has a publishing contract for songwriting and has played with and written for Jeffrey Gaines. Man, this guy has been living the dream! I gave Shea an FLB demo CD and hoped he would listen to it and give me his professional opinion. Pretty damn cool.

I hung around til close talking with Flinchy and eventually hit the road back to MD at 3 AM. I stopped at the Sunoco in Camp Hill to gas up and bought 24 solid ounces of this new "Hyper Bean" coffee, which I'm pretty sure was able to circumvent the FDA before distribution. It was advertised as having twice the regular caffeine content of coffee, and judging from my incessant head bobbing, foot tapping, and over-the-top vocal performances in the car, the coffee lived up to the hype. Give it a try sometime.

St. Patty's Day at Flinchy's is going to be insane, I can't wait. Lucky the Leprechaun will be serving up the green beer all day and the FLB will be tearing the joint a new one. Come join us for everyone's favorite "alco-holiday." Car bombs? This could get messy...

This weekend we'll be at Griff's Landing in Frederick. It's going to be 70 degrees all weekend, so come out and enjoy the weather downtown. We'll see you there...
