Another lovely evening at the Zephyr. Good weather and a lot of nice folks to share the evening with. I drove down with the tops off of the Blue Dragon and just felt good to be alive. Not much else to say about this one.
As I type, I am making preparations for The FLB's Memorial Day excursion to Seacrets in Ocean City, MD. My family and I have spent a lot of time down in Ocean City and I have a lot of great memories and quite a fondness for that town. I always hoped that someday I'd get to play there. So, as "Full House" as it might sound, this gig is somewhat of a dream come true. It's been almost two years since I've been back there and I've been thinking about it and picturing it all week. I'll be back in a few days with the report. Enjoy the holiday weekend...

Relax Lounge - 5/20/06 - Chambersburg, PA
A new place for the FLB. I know Ken and Chris were psyched about playing in Chambersburg since it was probably one of the few gigs we've had so far that required them to drive less than a half hour.
Relax is a small venue and there wasn't really a big dancing crowd (although there was a very much appreciated dancing minority), but there were a lot of good listeners. The Ken Deater fanclub was in the house, and apparently there was a Deater look-alike contest that we were all unaware of. I've never seen so many bald, shaved heads in my life.
The Relax staff was all very friendly and helpful (and many were easy on the eyes), and I met quite a few cool people that had a lot of kind things to say about the band. Overall, a pretty good gig.
After the show, the band rolled down the street to the local Denny's for some post-gig nourishment. A few Relax patrons and employees were a couple booths down, so we traded some late-night, alcohol-sponsored conversation. There was also a guy stumbling around our section of the restaurant who, from what I understand, was literally on crack. Welcome to the Cirque du Denny's.
By the time we left Denny's I think it was about 4:30A.M. The sun was coming up as I made my trek back home. I rolled into bed just shy of 6 A.M.

Bushwaller's - 5/19/06 - Frederick, MD
Another night at Bushwaller's, another great crowd. I saw a lot of folks who I'd seen at previous shows, which is really great. I've said it before, I'll say it again: The fans are what make the shows. Special gratitude also goes out to those who have been requesting our original music. The CD is coming soon...
My long-time friend Elliot was in town from Vermont and it was great rock out with him. I'm not sure he'd seen the full band yet. Thanks to everyone who sang with us, danced on stage and bought drinks for the band. Rock and roll makes good, good sense...

Flinchy's - 5/17/06 - Camp Hill, PA
A really good crowd at Flinchy's on this fine Wednesday evening. Wednesday night is also $5 bomb night at Flinchy's (Irish or Jager, pick your poison), and there were quite of few bombers around the bar. All ingredients for a raucous, good time. Happy Hump Day, indeed.
A good handful of LVC'ers were in the house tonight, which was very cool. We all had a solid night of merry-making and song, and then it was back to Ijamsville. At the end of the night, Flinchy and I got to talking about a summer party/concert on the river in Harrisburg with the full band. Stay tuned for details on "Riverstock 2006"...
