As the title for this blog implies there was something for everyone at the New Year's bash at the American Legion in Fairmont. (that is if Bingo, Meat Raffles and Rock n Roll are important to ya) I guess it is not exactly what would appear on a marquee at say Madison Square Garden or First Avenue for that matter....but "it is what it is". We of course had a great time BOTH nights and a pretty good turnout both nights. Saturday evening was especially awesome. We closed out 2005. We helped the Legion have one last hurrah before moving to a new location in downtown Fairmont. We got a really nice article about the band in the local Fairmont paper the Sentinel and our band PIC was on the frontpage ! A lot of people who came out commented about the front page picture. Finally we got to do a gig in Fairmont and not have to compete with the local band Sinister as they were OFF that weekend. Got a lot of offers from people to perform Fairmont gigs this summer !!!From the weekend:
Turn ON's =
having FUN !! seeing old friends, receiving many kudo's, playing well, female dancers flashing the band (and one male - you know who you are.... DOH !!), drinking responsibly...hmmmm, getting our picture on the front page of the newspaper, having your band mates put grocery bags over their heads (like the unknown comic) to make a point
Turn OFF's = Ted Nugent's song Stranglehold was a TRAIN WRECK, one LOSER trying to steal some of our gear at end of the night, having to throw your clothes away due to the fact they smell so badly of cig SMOKE !
Anyway it was yet another memorable gig ....first time playing New Years eve and at the same time the LAST time we will ever play the Fairmont Legion.
