After an exciting evening at Mr. Beery's on Long Island up in New York, and a long drive home until 5:30 am, I'm hoping my voice will recover enough from the festivities to rock Mojo 13 next week for this Saturday night show. Now that it's 12 hours later and I have a couple of hours of sleep in me, I'm feeling good about our New York premier. It usually takes at least 48 hours to get my voice back to normal, so I should be fine. The crowd and other bands in Beth Page, NY, are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Talk about supportive! And the deal on beer for band members can't be beat: free Bud or $1 beers on tap. Considering their tap selection is so vast and tasty, this was one of the nicest things anybody has ever done for me. As a band that sings mostly about beer and drinking it, we were all quite happy. The drive was well worth it! Thank you Mr. Beery's!!! The band formerly known as The Devilles were awesome. The musicians in Quarterlife Crisis, Southpaw, and SuperBuick were equally great. It was refreshing to see bands stay around to support each other before and after playing, the way it should be. I hope the trend continues next Saturday night at the show on the poster. Come on by!

No problem! When I got there I realized it was almost an hour away from Manhattan, which would have been a crazy haul for you after flying all day. Thanks for the good wishes. I hope you're having fun in NYC!

Holy Crap!
You're singing again! I mean I know you've always sang, but..back on the stage! That's really great, Chris! Sorry I haven't been to your blog lately, but I'll try to peek in more frequently. I want to try to come & see your band this weekend, but I might be shaken my bon-bon at the beach, so I'll have to see what pans out. Do you know what time your band will be going on?? How 'bout the Mojo...do I need to need to break out the leather?? ha! Hope you, Michelle and the kids are all well. How old are your kids now?? Brie just turned 17 and Evan 15...yikes! and NO, sorry, I don't have a blog yet...take care!

I've done the same thing before and hit "send" a dozen times too. No problem. I'm glad you've reconnected (since I nuked my MySpace page). We're headlining, so we probably start around 11 or so. Dress is casual, if not totally thrift shop. If you can't come out tomorrow, we'll be playing again in June in Wilmington at Bank Shots, perhaps June 21st. Nice to hear from you! I hope I see you soon!
