Folks,

It may have been miserably cold and rainy out last night, but inside the Middle East it was the epitome of rock and roll toasty.

Highlights:

-We rolled in just as our new best friends The Charms were kicking the rock machine into high gear. Friends, these cats are good, especially the guitar player. His name is also Joe and he's better than me by a mile. I hate him for this, but he's a nice guy so I like him for that. Cognitive dissonance.

-We debuted a couple new numbers for us, one of which went swimmingly, one of which was a disaster. Which was which? I'm not sayin'.

-I immensely regretted my chinese dinner. Enough said.

-We loaded out over a snowbank, which was a first, and hopefully a last.

-I got so many electric shocks from my microphone that I am now listed as a viable power transformer in the new issue of New England Viable Power Transformers monthly.

Rock and roll. Now go get your tickets to see Scamper tonight at the Paradise. Off with you.
