Loan Facts
Federal Direct Stafford Loans - a federal student loan, made through the William D Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, for which eligible students borrow directly from the U. S. Department of Education at participating schools. Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized and Direct Consolidation Loans are types of Direct Loans.
Subsidized Loan
This loan is based on financial need for which the federal government pays the interest that accrues while the borrower is in school, grace or deferment status. Beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, new borrowers will have a limit on the amount of subsidized loans.
Please be sure to read about the limit on the amount of subsidized loans. It is important for all students.
Unsubsidized Loan
This is a loan where the borrower is fully responsible for the paying of the interest regardless of loan status. Interest accumulates from the date of disbursement. UCC does not offer this loan at the time of the initial award. Students have to apply for it. The Loan Request & Revision Form is located with the Financial Aid Forms and Publications.
Entrance Counseling
Entrance counseling is required by the federal government for all first time loan borrowers at Umpqua Community College. The counseling is completed online and UCC will be notified electronically within in 24-48 hours. Once this has been completed it should be a satisfied requirement for subsequent academic years. Entrance Counseling will help borrowers to understand:
- Their rights and responsibilities as a borrower
- The terms of their loan
- Repayment obligations and consequences of non-payment
Master Promissory Note (MPN)
The Master Promissory Note is also required by the federal government when a student chooses to borrow money. This is the official document that a borrower must sign as a promise to repay their loans. This is completed on line and UCC is notified electronically within 24-48 hours.
Exit Counseling
When a student graduates from UCC or is no longer enrolled at least half time (6 credits) exit counseling has to be completed. This is a federal requirement. Exit counseling is completed online. The exit counseling session will explain the borrower's loan obligations and various pay back options that student borrower has. A student will be reminded via their student email and student requirements that they have to complete exit counseling. It is the student's responsibility to ensure this is completed.

Sometimes it just takes a lot longer than what I initially planned ... I finally managed to fix the problem with the Perfection 610 color channel shift (or whatever this "feature" should be called). The fix was pretty easy, the problem just was that by implementing the algorithm I made a very stupid error and it took me two days to figure our what I did wrong. When I scan thin black lines I actually get thin black lines and not three colored lines right next to each other.
On a different but related subject: The USB problem with EPSON scanners is also finally fixed. Thanks to David Nelson and everybody else who was involved in comming up with the proper way to handle the USB scanners. The new scanner driver is in kernel version 2.3pre7 and newer.
There is also some news from the color management corner: I created a small Gimp plugin that can be used to apply input (scanner) and output (printer) profiles to an image. The scanner profiles can be generated with SCARSE, for the printer profiles I'm using a commercial package. The plugin can be downloaded from my site.
The plan for the weekend is to clean up the Perfection610 software a little more (there is some garbage on the first and last few scan lines) and to implement the soft proofing in the color manager plugin.
For the long term I'm looking for people interested in color management issues. I hope to get a small group together to work on stuff like a printer profiling package and a solid color management for Gimp.

Gilbert police are investigating an off-duty Phoenix police officer suspected of leaving the scene of a crash at a private park early Saturday morning, according to Gilbert police.
Police said witnesses reported an unidentified person crashed a car near Anderson Lane and Sexton Street. Gilbert police found Phoenix police Officer Usiel Molina nearby, according to the Gilbert Police Department.
Molina told police he was a passenger in the car and that his friend had been driving.
When police questioned the friend Molina said he had been driving with, the friend told police Molina had dropped him off at his home before any crash had occurred, police said.
Gilbert police officials said Molina is being investigated on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident and may be investigated on suspicion of giving false information to law enforcement. Molina was detained and released. He was not arrested.
Phoenix police officials said an internal investigation is being conducted.

Vincenzo Campi was trained in the family studio in Cremona, working together with his father Galeazzo and his brothers Giulio and Antonio. The Campis worked on huge decoration projects in important towns in Lombardy, including Milan (the church of San Paolo), and in their home town, Cremona (the Duomo and the monastery of San Sigismondo). Their painting took its inspiration from the latest currents of art in Italy and Europe, giving rise to a singular form of eclecticism which was then taken up in the region by many followers. In particular, Vincenzo applied to Lombard naturalism the luminism of Savoldo and the Flemish delight in still lives and war scenes. This was the distinctive feature of his art, which was more unaffected and immediate than that of his famous brothers, who tended more towards grandiloquent, precious Mannerism.
In his Fruit Seller, the painter dwells on a generous description of the baskets of fruit and vegetables, presented to the viewer by a peasant girl. The painting was part of a small cycle with at least four scenes depicting humble trades and scenes from everyday life (The Fishmongers, The Poulterer, The Kitchen), in which much of the composition consists of meticulous representation of natural elements. The illusive, almost instinctive quality of the way the details are rendered makes this an important step in the history of Italian still lives, and a fundamental precedent for the early works of Caravaggio.

The Art of Blending
- Summary
Vitamix® machines and other professional blenders are renowned for making smoothies, but, as author Tori Ritchie shows us in this lavishly photographed cookbook, they are also great for nut milks, juices, dips, spreads, hot and cold soups, sweet and savory sauces, dressings, batters, creams, foams, and even frozen desserts. Preparing recipes in a professional blender is quick and easy: Just layer roughly chopped ingredients in the container and you're good to go. There is no need to strain puréed mixtures to help improve the texture of the dish, so you preserve maximum nutrients from ingredients. This books offers recipes for every meal of the day. For breakfast, try a Perfect Green Smoothie, Chilaquiles & Eggs with Roasted Chipotle Salsa, or Puffed Oven Pancake with Peaches. Tempting lunch choices include a Trio of Mediterranean Dips with Flatbread, Avocado Gazpacho with Spicy Bread Crumbs, and Turkey Panini with Cranberry Relish. For dinner, try Thai-Style Curried Squash Soup, Meatballs in Tomato-Cream Sauce, and Grilled Lamb Chops with Chimichurri. And for dessert, look for Silken Chocolate Mouse (which happens to be vegan), Peach-Raspberry Ice Cream, Tiramisu Semifreddo, and more. Hardcover, 96 pages.

Colloquium explores ways Jews, Christians and Muslims imagine each other, Oct. 17-18
Posted October 15, 2002; 03:32 p.m.
Exploring how Jews, Christians and Muslims have imagined each other throughout history and the implications of images of monotheism will be the topic of a colloquium, Oct. 17-18. The event begins with a talk at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, in Betts Auditorium and continues from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 18 with three talks, respondents and a roundtable discussion in the Senate Room, Whig Hall.
Titled "Monotheism and Its Others: Jews, Christians and Muslims Imagining Each Other," the colloquium will discuss how the three "monotheisms" share overlapping texts and stories, pointing to tensions between the traditions as well as similarities. Using different methodological perspectives -- history, philosophy, theology and ethics -- the colloquium will examine how each tradition then imagines the other two monotheisms.
Participants include Paula Fredriksen, Boston University; Susannah Heschel, Dartmouth College; Eugene Rogers, University of Virginia; John Gager, Princeton; Michael Cook, Princeton; Eric Gregory, Princeton; and John Kelsay, Florida State University.
The colloquium is sponsored by the Program in Jewish Studies and the Jeanette Krieger and Herman D. Mytelka Memorial Lecture on Jewish Civilization Fund.

With 50% of each sale going to the Lions Charitable Trust, everyone who purchases the book will not only be getting a great read, but will also be helping a great cause.
The Dungannon back row man was notorious for his no-nonsense approach to rugby when he was winning his 25 Irish caps and playing for the Lions in South Africa on their all-conquering tour in 1974, and he took the same approach to his latest book.
"Going around Ireland and England doing the research for this book was incredible and the stories I was able to unearth fascinated me. There is a wealth of material out there about the Lions once you scratch the surface," said McKinney.
"As well as bringing to life some of the great characters of the early Lions tours, I was also able to get many of the great names of the past 50 years to contribute some of their personal stories. Just as with the first book, I've enjoyed bringing everything together and I think it makes a great read.
"Learning about how the 1888 players travelled to New Zealand and Australia was a real eye-opener, as was learning the full story about how the first Lions captain, Robert Seddon, drowned midway through that trip.
"I also managed to unearth a diary kept by the old Ulster and Ireland player George Cromey from the 1938 tour. In there he details some of the antics of Blair Mayne. Now there was an incredible man!"
McKinney interviewed the 1950 legends Jack Kyle and Jimmy Nelson and also caught up with 1955 wing Cecil Pedlow. He then uncovered the diary kept by another Irish player, Jim McVickers, from the 1924 tour.
But the stories aren't all from 'the good old days'. Another 1974 tourist, John Moloney, has added some of his best rugby memories and his one time Irish half-back partner Micky Quinn had better watch out!
"Many of Stew's friends contributed to the first edition and we were all keen to be in the second book as well. The surprising thing is that no one has written about Stewart himself," admitted Moloney.
While McKinney was unable to get a place in the Test side in South Africa, he still holds a very special place in the hearts and minds of his 1974 team mates for one vital contribution to the success of the tour.
Willie John McBride's side won the first 21 of their 22 matches, including three tests, before drawing with the Springboks in their final outing. But their unbeaten record could have been captured in the game against the Orange Free State in Game 14 had it not been for a penalty goal kicked by McKinney in the 11-9 victory.
There is no mention of that heroic moment in the book, but there are many tales that will bring to life forgotten heroes, provide plenty of laughs about, and insights into, life on tour and give you plenty to talk about over the festive period.
'Roars From the Back of the Bus - Rugby Tales of Life with the Lions', edited by Stewart McKinney, is published by Mainstream and is available from all good bookshops priced £17.99.

March 01, 2014
Last week I talked about motivation and deadlines. While I work the best under pressure, I also need organization, otherwise the pressure gets to be too much! For this I use a variety of organizational methods.
Google Drive - I create spreadsheets in my Google Drive for kit ideas by month, design goals, and checklists to complete for each kit. These allow me to move through each section of the kit quickly without getting stuck wondering what to create or when.
Todoist - Todoist is a fun app for your computer and your phone. You can add an extension to your browser to check your todolist while on the computer or an app for your phone. I use the free version. It allows me to create projects so that I can view my project-to-dos alone, daily to-do lists, weekly lists, and more. It's great for keeping me on track daily.
Notebooks and Planners - Despite having spreadsheets and fantastic apps to use, I still find myself going back to my planner and writing a detailed list for my design time. I just love crossing items off one at a time. These lists are usually broken into 15 minute segments: 15 minutes of housework/decluttering, 15-30 minutes of specific design work with a goal such as 5 papers/10 elements, and 15 minutes of ME TIME. If designing is going well I extend my design time and shift any housework or me time to later in the day. If it's not I clean a bit more to allow myself to find my inspiration. It's amazing what you can get done in 15 minutes with a specific goal in mind.
How do you keep organized?

I have tons of retiring alphabets right now for only 99 cents each!
I love creating alphabets. My very first design was a watery alphabet for a beach layout.
The first alphabet shown below is a soft rainbow and white paper alpha set to match my Four Leaves collection.
The second is one of my very favorites. The shiny blue acrylic circiles are perfect for initialed pages.
The Learn with Me Alphas include a white glued acrylic alphabet and a scribbed paper alphabet.
When I created the stick boy alphabet I made a fun doodled alpha with randomly cut paper bits.
The Dandelion Dreams alphabet set includes 3 different alphas: blue skies paper alpha, dotted green fabric alpha, and a checkered acrylic alphabet.
Grab them now for only 99 cents!

In looking back over my years of designing and scrapping I've found it isn't always easy to do either. Sometimes kits or layouts seem to flow from my fingertips straight onto the computer screen with very little effort. It's as if they create themselves. Other days I find myself staring at Photoshop willing one of my ideas to take shape. In the end, it all comes down to motivation and inspiration.
Personally, I work the absolute best when I have a deadline looming over my head. Deadlines give me the motivation to pull every drop of inspiration available to create something fabulous and quickly. Without a deadline, I'm often unable to choose what to do next. Ideas swarm through my head swirling and whirling like leaves in the wind. I feel like a small child jumping and trying to grasp onto the perfect leaf, the leaf that will direct my next design. It's hard to decide where to start when I have too much time on my hands to think about it. On rare days a gentle breeze deposits the perfect starting point right into my lap and the kit or layout begins. Other times an idea begins to take shape only to swiftly fly away, sitting unfinished in a folder on my desktop.
What is scrapping or designing like for you? Do ideas flow easily or do they flow swiftly like a faucet turned on too far? What motivates you or inspires you?

Today I want to take a moment to talk about a few of my older products. I'll be sharing ideas on how to use one of my commercial use products and my inspiration behind one of my personal use/scrap4hire products. Check it out! Click the images to see them out in my store.
Write on Me Volume 1 and 2 are layered templates to make fun doodled tags and journaling elements. Here are some of my favorite ways to use them:
I come back to these packs often and find it simple to make something new and different each time. How would you make it unique?
Four Leaves is a lucky collection, perfect to scrap all of your St. Patrick's Day adventures. I created Four Leaves for Scrapbook-Bytes Grab-A-Byte event a few years ago. This year it will be retiring and leaving stores forever. Grab it now for only 99 cents!
When I started creating Four Leaves, I wanted to capture my favorite parts of St. Patrick's Day from the four-leaf clovers, to the clover flower itself, to the glitter and gold. However, I wanted to pull back from the darker, brighter greens used in most kits to something softer. I spent hours deciding how I wanted to show off the fluffly clover flowers (with bubbly acrylic of course). I loved making elements shimmer and shine. It was a truly enjoyable collection and I hope you will enjoy it too!

If you are looking for the SBB Guess Who Blog Hop you can either scroll down just a bit to the next post or click here to go directly to that post.
Every year at this time I think about how lucky I am to be part of such an amazing community of scrappers and designers. I stumbled onto digital scrapbooking in 2005 when my oldest was first born. It was the PERFECT way to get so many memories down easily and with less mess. I was addicted pretty much instantly. In 2008, I started trying to design some things for myself to fill in items I wanted, but couldn't quite find. At first, this involved a lot of alphabets to match my layouts. Eventually, I made pretty good progress with my designing skills thanks to some amazing mentors (Heather and Dielle I can't thank you enough for taking time to chat with me, share ideas, and critique my work). I started selling my designs in 2008 and I've never looked back. It's been over 5 years now. Time really flies! DSD and iNSD have always been my favorite days of the year though because that is when I get to chat with everyone, get to know new people, and make new digi-friends. I truly cherish those times and I'm incredibly thankful for all of you. THANK YOU!
To partially show my thanks I'm offering some coupons, IN ADDITION TO MY 35% off sale, to make your shopping a bit less expensive.

It's color play time again! Here is how it works. Each week I post a new color palette and some inspiration for you. Please feel free to use my color palettes in your kits and projects, no credit required. If you do use one of my palettes, I would love to see how you used it so feel free to link your layout or project here. I hope you enjoy them.
Color Play: Color Shift
This color palette has been inspired by markers. In the jumble of school supplies there are always TONS of markers. The first thing I do is lay them out in rainbow order, in fact, I organize my closet the same way. It makes it much easier to find my favorite clothes. When I saw the blues, greens, and golds together I knew that this would be a gorgeous kit. I hope you enjoy it as well. It's hard for me to believe that it's finally time to pack up all of those markers and backpacks and send my boys back to school for the year. Summer went by way too quickly.
Your inspiration? markers, blues, greens, golds, organization, and the beginning of the school year

Color Play: Apples
This color palette has been inspired by the end of summer creeping up and the beginnings of autumn. One of my favorite parts of the new school year, besides the school supplies, is apples. The apples taste the very best at this time of the year. They are fragrant and filled with delicious juice. In my preschool class we do an apple tasting every year. Everyone loves it. My family and I always use this as an excuse to head out to a local orchard to try to collect our own apples. There is nothing better than an apple picked fresh from a tree.
Your inspiration? apples, back to school, apple orchards, and favorites

Color Play: Jumble
This color palette has been inspired by the jumble of school supplies that have slowly begun to collect on my desk. I LOVE new school supplies. I always have. I can remember being a child and looking forward to new notebooks, crayons, and markers. I even love the SMELL of new school supplies. Freshly cut paper, newly opened crayons, the slightly sour scent of fresh crayola markers... strange I know, lol. Now that I'm a teacher and a parent myself I'm also excited about all of the sales for school supplies, because we sure do buy a LOT. Both boys need supplies and then supplies for my classroom beyond what is provided. It all adds up rather quickly. So even though my desk is a jumble of school supplies, it's a good jumble.
Your inspiration? school supplies, notebooks, cluttered desks, and the little things that make us happy

Teen in Jacksonville convicted in death of Gainesville man
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 6:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 6:02 p.m.
A teen has been convicted in Jacksonville in the fatal 2010 carjacking of an 83-year-old Gainesville man who was leaving the Jacksonville International Airport.
A Duval County jury found 19-year-old Raymond Matthew Austin Jr. guilty on Thursday of first-degree murder, kidnapping and armed robbery. He faces a life sentence.
Authorities said Austin — along with co-defendants 36-year-old Shanda Nedreia Merritt, 19-year-old Corey Harrington and 19-year-old Marquavious Avery — strangled and shot Charles R. Soukup in late October 2010 before dumping his body in a nearby wooded area.
Merritt is awaiting trial, while Harrington and Avery have already pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, kidnapping and armed robbery.
Austin is already serving 45 years for the attempted murder of Merritt's ex-boyfriend, then-37-year-old Carl Davis, a day after the attack on Soukup.
Soukup, who lived in the Northwood Pines subdivision in Gainesville at the time he made the trip to Jacksonville, was trying to get to Ohio to see his ailing twin brother but had rented a Jeep at the Jacksonville airport.
Soukup apparently was planning to drive back to Gainesville after growing tired of waiting to get on a standby flight. Authorities said Soukup was killed by Austin, who stole the Jeep that Soukup had rented.
Soukup's body was recovered near the airport in the 1600 block of Owens Road, the same place where investigators said it appeared Soukup was killed and the Jeep was stolen shortly after he rented it.
Soukup's daughter, Doreen Walsh, told The Sun in late 2010 that her husband, Edward Walsh, dropped Soukup off at the airport at about 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 25, 2010.
Soukup planned to fly standby to Dallas to meet another daughter, Patty Holloway, who made the flight arrangements.
After spending a night in Dallas with Holloway, she and Soukup planned to fly together to Cleveland to see Soukup's only living sibling, his fraternal twin, Harry.
Unable to get a seat on the plane in Jacksonville, Soukup rented a 2010 silver Jeep Liberty at the airport around 11 a.m. He told the rental agent who helped him that he was returning to his Gainesville home.
Investigators said he met Austin, Merritt, Harrington and Avery sometime after that and was killed, but officials would not say exactly where or when Soukup encountered the trio.
The Jeep was recovered in the 3100 block of Myrtle Avenue.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

That vehicle mode definitely seemed like it was going to be more substantial in photos, but I still like it. I won't bother picking up the remold though, I think it's Jetfire or Silverbolt or something.
I transformed all my ANIMATED figures today into vehicle mode, they had been scrapping in robot mode this week but it just seemed like a thing to do. I still haven't found Soundwave though. I forgot how oddball some of the transformations in that line are, especially Ultra Magnus' shoulders and everything about Blurr, but I really love that Blurr figure in both modes so it's totally worth it, and I actually was able to remember prior frustrations I had in those areas and work around them for the most part. I found new appreciation for Oil Slick of all things, and got Jazz to twirl his nunchucks before transforming him. Still a great line.

It's About Time!
Come out and cheer the Massacre that is our Valentine's Day Hangover by being there for these two true shining females of the species. Drink up, drink down and spread some of that leftover love around! Show starts at 9:30.
End of Daze
LGC Trivia Question: Which bandmember NEARLY ran over his dead neighbor lying frozen in the street on the way to last Friday's Sue's Sunset show?
Flying High
In this week of supreme overindulgence, we invite you to eat, drink and be merry to your heart attack's content, because next week we know you're gonna wanna work it all off by joining your favorite band of ice cube marinators, The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails, at the Northwood in Mahopac Friday night. The LGC will be opening and closing for the soon-to-maybe-be legendary Get Your Wings -- the premiere Aerosmith Tribute Band in the land, featuring Otto from the Cocktails, Pepe from Killer and The Detonators, Andy from Ace Frehley and The Vagrants and Danny from Another Planet. These guys do Aerosmith the way Aerosmith was meant to be done -- dirty, nasty, ratty rock n roll 'smith exclusively plucked from their high heyday in the seventies. It'll be a night to remember to drink to forget!
And speaking of soaring, we're still sore and coming down hard from a fermentation filled weekend of back-to-back. Thanks to everyone who danced their pants off at The Sunset house on Friday and to Tom O'Reilly who showed us a swinging good time at the More Sugar singles/mingles party at the Holiday Inn in Mt. Kisco. Also, a special toast to Bootsy just for being Bootsy.
Until next time -- save me some dark meat!
Three shows. One weekend. Livers somewhat intact.
What a weekend! First, the band let loose at the Spruce on Friday and drank more beer than a small army of Irish Wolfhounds.
Then onto Woofstock, where the band rocked n' rolled in some crap it found on the lawn. You ain't seen nothing til you've experience hot Yorkie on Chocolate Lab action. Thanks again to the electric blues boys of Blue Mozart, who provided the LGC with stellar sound, and a special you-make-me-wanna-shout-out to Not Fade Away, who greased the crowd for us with their timely timeless rock n roll classics.
Later that night... The Rusty Trombones blew into Rubens in Peekskill for their maiden gig and despite the cramped quarters, everyone had a reach-around great time. Again, a round of thank yous to everybody who dragged themselves out for one last musical act in a weekend full of musical acts. Look for the next Rusty 'Bones show at the Peekskill Coffee House, September 11th from 8 til 10 – not 24 hours after the almighty Scared Stiffs open up their hearts and veins once again for the hungry hordes at The Northwood, with Dino and the Hostages!
Deliciously Delinquent.
The Hey Baby Cancer Awareness Event was a blast -- literally. One of my guitars blew up due to a lethal combo of humidity, pelvic friction and all the free beer that was made available to the band. But all hail King Jimmy Buddy Ox, Skip, Bobby and the rest of the boys for making a big day out feel more like a high school reunion. (You know, like a cool reunion, like the 5th -- before everybody gets boring and fat.) Let's see, then there was the Spruce Hill show, then there was… shit, I forget. They don't call 'em Mind Erasers for nothing! Oh yeah, somewhere in there Roxy got cheeky with Deadbolt main man Harley Davidson. Scary voodoo girl!
Next up, this Friday the 21st, Sue's Sunset House. Come on out and rock till you plop. It's Ladies Night! (That's not official, I'm just calling it that so more ladies show up)
Spring Into Action
Mother Nature Called...

...and when she did she flooded the switchboards, clogged our driving arteries and dropped a big f*ckin log on our dreams of anointing Richy's Pub n Grub's Grand Opening with The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails' own particular brand of vicious dirty martini rock and swanky splendor. Sorry, I know I promised that the weather could not possibly deter us from rocking, but I lied. I've also lied about my height on several occasions, so what?
Stay tuned to see when Richy's is rescheduled. Meanwhile, next up on the calendar is Sue's Sunset House in Peekskill on Friday the 19th.
Snow Blows
So be there! Get yer ass to Sue's Sunset House in Peekskill this Friday the 19th and be ready to sacrifice your body, brain and dignity to appease the Sun Goddess and help her thaw this ice cap crap with heat-generating wild gyrations!
And if you miss that for some ridiculous reason like you're having a baby or shaving your cat, you can catch the band in all it's gory glory the following weekend, Friday the 26th, at the Grand-frikkin-Opening of the newly revampired Richy's Pub n Grub (formerly "The End Zone") in the Miranda Plaza in Cortlandt Manor (or Putnam Valley, if you believe Google or Panda Garden's take-out menu).
That's here:
Finally, best wishes go out to our master of super-soused sound, Dickie Mellonball, whose recent back surgery has left him temporarily out of commission and has left the rest of the band temporarily stumbling around buzzed on his codeine prescription. Feel better, brother! We are!
Don't Fear the Cheer!
This is it - the last show of the first decade of the century... and we're pulling out all the slops. Join The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails for a holiday to remember to forget!
This Friday, December 18th, starting at 10.
With very special guests: The Luscious Lushes Go-Go-Dancers and, appearing as himself, world-famous Elvis tribute artist, Michael Vegas!
Got Wood?
You are cordially invited to pour yourself into none other than Ziggy's world-famous Northwood Inn, Friday December 4th, as The Cocktails branch out and headline their first-ever full show at this tasty Mahopac tavern. We've played there before as guests of our beloved Barfly Orchestra, but this is our moment in the sun! (Okay, it's kinda dark in there, but you get the idea.) We need a good showing that night, so you bring the asses, we'll bring the axes, deal?
And joining the band in a very special live performance is the immortal Michael Vegas. And you thought rockabilly just left the building!
Also, much grattitude to all those who came out and shook it on down for both shows this past weekend. If we can get you back out to the Northwood, we promise that the one and only "Foxy" Roxy Von Popov will personally pummell you with primitive love!
The Band Flips the Bird
First, get ready to put the gorge in gorgeous as the LGC returns this Friday, November 20th, to Sue's Sunset House to offer themselves to the hungry fans who undoubtedly would like nothing more than to tear apart our collective carcass and consume our flesh (wait, which frikkin' holiday is this?).
Then, it's back for seconds on Sunday the 22nd at the German American Club from 2-9 as we join the cute-as-a-button, but decidedly un-toilet trained Hey Baby to celebrate another year of the only paper that matters in New York – More Sugar. Come out as we tip our hats, cups, bartenders, and take off our shirts to the Prince of Pulp – Tom O'Reilly, with a BIG assist to Contessa of Cool - Karen Collins.
The Luscious Lushes will be there to whip the crowd (literally) into a frothy frenzy, and if that's not enough to lure SOME of you 18,000 alleged readers out, how about a well-placed kick in the giblets?
Howloween with the Cocktails
And this one, not used. For in-house comedy only:
Big Stiff Cocktails, The Crawling Eye and Things that go Dump in the Night
First The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails light it up this upcoming Friday the 16th at Sue's Sunset House in PeeksKILL, featuring the long-awaited return of those voluptuous voodoo priestesses, The Luscious Lushes! Girls got new go-go boots and they're gonna dance all over you.
Then Sunday the world's greatest undead live act belches forth from the grave to scare the pants off every girl within 3.7 miles: The Scared Stiffs return to decimate and desecrate Terror Tom O'Reilly's own More Sugar Halloween Smash.
In related band news, Dr. Harvè Bangwaller had his crawling eye popped out and replaced by a newer, shinier one. Word is he's recovering not-so-nicely and will stare a hole through you if you don't buy him a drink on Friday. Wood eye?! Harelip! (very, very old joke)
Then in other band-related news (literally) Chris from the Stiffs and his lovely lady Arlene popped out perfect twins this past Wednesday. Zane and 'Nova, welcome to the world! I'll drink to that! Although nurses were apparently shocked that the babies arrived with black nail polish....
Speedy recovery all and get some sleep Chris and Harvè - we got gigs this week! (see above)
Hair of the Dog with The LGC!
Going down brown
Ladies of the Evening and Men of Ill Repute, we give you The Brown Tornado. Yes, it's official -- we're all down with the Brown. So from here on out, Pauli - the category five of flailing feet, the vicious vortex of villainous verisimilitude, the rum-running, swath-cutting, skin-slapper will be known henceforth as simply The Brown Tornado.
To celebrate this most murky event, we'll be downing and drowning in brown liquor like our grandfathers at Sue's Sunset House on July 17th. Wear something brown and you just might be earning extra brownie points from The Luscious Lushes, who return in full splendor to tempt revellers off their asses and on to the dance floor -- to get brown and get down!
Spring Cleaning
Backstage at the New York Dolls show, David Johannsen begged Roxy for a photo op.
Otto Wino discovers boxed wine and wonders if it comes coffin-sized.
Stewed Driver scours Englishtown in search of the next perfect posi-rear.
Pauli Dangerously eases into Downward Dog position and reemerges four days later.
Harvé Bangwaller stops the world, and melts with Hugh.
Dickie Mellonball nurses his ears and develops an unhealthy attraction to Hannah Montana.
The LGC will raise the bar (and then close it) May 15th at Sue's Sunset House and then sizzle their lilywhite tavern tans in actual sunlight when they play the Putnam Valley Town Day, Saturday May 23rd from 1:00 - ? Live music all day! Featuring The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails, The Barfly Orchestra, Hey Baby and more! Leonard Wagner Memorial Park, Oscawana Lake Road. Benefits the Putnam Valley Dog Shelter and the Putnam Valley Food Pantry: bring canned goods, etc. Refreshments, farmers market, volleyball, art for kids. And did we mention LIVE MUSIC! ALL DAY!
Standing room only! This past Friday, the Cocktails packed the Sunset House to its whiskey–soaked rafters. We're talkin' Fire Marshall-jammed. Even with all the girls up on the tables, there wasn't room to shake your thangs without shakin' into someone else's.
Then the pub-crawlers showed up. Two buses full of St. Patty's Parade Party People, complete with the Grand Damn Marshall. And speaking of spontaneous combustion, the spur-of-the-moment, molotovic Cocktails jam with Captain Bagpipes blew the place out. Thanks to all who didn't vomit on our equipment!
Next up, a gracious invite from More Sugar Master Tom O'Reilly to play one sexy set sandwiched betwixt his Barfly Orchestra at the nicer than nice Northwood Inn this Saturday Night! No cover. Be there at 10 for a full night of booze-themed band rock!
Make it a double!
This Friday the 13th, the LGC are gonna get stuporstitious! We're packing up our gear and rabbit's feet to play two, two, two shows in one day.
First, a rare daytime benefit show for veterans at VA Hudson Valley Healthcare System, Montrose Campus.
"God I love the smell of vodka in the morning!"
Then we're dragging our black cat bones to our home away from the asylum -- Sue's Sunset House in Peekskill -- for a MARATHON booze-fueled luckfest! Take note Cocktail lovers: we're starting early -- NINE O'CLOCK -- and going till the last table dancer topples over.
Also for your added enjoyment, the triumphant return of that tantilizing trio of tasty temptresses, the Luscious Lushes Go-Go Dancers!
This Friday
Damn You, Mother Nature!
Bitch screwed us again with her sub-zero temps. That's two straight Sunset shows cancelled 'cause of her frigid, fickle ways. Apologies to anyone who came out and braved the cold and didn't get the emergency e-mail in time. We promise we'll make it up to you if it's the last thing we do.
(And it just might be.)
Meanwhile we did storm Arlene's Grocery in the city on Sunday and raised a rukus as well as raising a bunch of cash in a benefit for the Abingdon Theater Company's production of Greek Holiday. Fun was had by all, even though pastrami was only had by some in a post-show pigout at Katz's famous deli. Viva La Meat Bomb!
Harvé points out the culprit.
"YOU! You're the one who stuck this mike in my eye!"
Snow Blown
But have no fear, Sugar Plums! We're revving the whole shebang back up again, January 16th at 10 pm, with the LGC Ghost of Christmas Passed Spectacular at Sues's Sunset House in Peekskill.
Featuring the return of Mai Tai Mike on guest guitar and as always, of course... the nicest, naughtiest group of gift-wrapped Go-Go dancers to ever melt a North Pole - THE LUSCIOUS LUSHES!
It'll be like the holidays came and went and came again! Pass the tissues!
And then, even before you've had a chance to clean the reindeer droppings offa your Go-Go boots, we make a triumphant return to Arlene's Grocery in NYC, as part of a triple-header to benefit the Abingdon Theatre Company's production of Greek Holiday (which will feature none other than Mrs. Bangwaller). That's two days later, January 18th, from 5 - 8 pm. Also on the bill: D'Haene and The Mighty Weaklings.
Rudolph With Your Nose So Bright... You Really Need More Scotch Tonight?
Anyho, ho, ho....
Time to rev up all our reindeer drinking games again, hang mistletoe in all the most strategic positions (beltbuckles) and rock your stockings off in the holliest, jolliest way we know how... by dropping our Xmas Yule Log Rock Show on Sues's Sunset House (December 19th @ 10 pm).
Featuring the return of Mai Tai Mike on guest guitar and as always, of course... the nicest, naughtiest group of gift-wrapped Go-Go dancers to ever melt a North Pole -- THE LUSCIOUS LUSHES!
For Amber Waves
of Grain (Alcohol)...
Now that the election is over and our hangovers are dissipating (You try playing an election night drinking game where you have to do a shot every time somebody says "too close to call") it's time to transition from Barack n Roll back to plain old Rock n Roll with renewed vigor. And that's a campaign promise the LGC intends to keep! We'll be playing our usual home away from home, Sue's Sunset House, on Friday, November 21, but then a mere two days later, we're honored to be playing More Sugar's 15th Anniversary Party on Sunday, November 23rd. Details are sketchy as of now, but then again, so are we.
Drink Up, Throw Down, Throw Up
Meanwhile the LGC are busy planning their costumes and calendars around the return of The Scared Stiffs — rising from the grave for two nights of bone-chilling, flesh-eating Halloween fun. Whoever said "rock is dead" must have just come from a show creature-featuring these guys!
Oh yeah, may we once again recommend the latest LGC libation below — THE BRAIN HEMORRHAGE. Never has a more disgusting cocktail been more appropriate for a holiday — seriously, this thing looks like a pavement oyster suspended in formaldehyde... ENJOY!
1 oz Peach Schnapps
1 tsp Bailey's Irish Cream
2 drops Grenadine
Pour the Peach Schnapps into a large shot glass. Slowly add the Bailey's and top with the grenadine.
Oh, by the way (shssssh), Mystery Gig in November....
Atom Smashed
A Lifesize Gorgeous Toast to the newly revved-up giant Swiss Proton Beam Particle Collider which will either:
- Finally reveal the deep dark mysterious origins of the genesis of our planet
- Open up matter-eating black holes which will ultimately destroy our planet.
At this point, either outcome is sort of okay with us. If it is truly the beginning of the end, then we leave you with these delectable shots of the gang at Otto's Birthday Bash a couple of weeks ago, where atom-smashing and sour mashing coexisted in equal measure.
But if the only black hole in our future is Sarah Palin's, then by god get your ass to the next Sunset House gig in Peekskill, Friday, September 19th. That's back to FRIDAYS. Take note Calendar Girls!
And if we somehow manage to cling to our mortal coils beyond that, there's The Scared Stiff's own Chris Laubis' annual Birthday Crusade happening (and we mean happening) at Seany B's in Millbrook, NY on October 11th. Bands sharing the stage with The LGC are slinky voodude rockers Black Cat Xing and rode-hard-and-put-way-wet journeymen, Steel Rodeo.
Besotted Otto
Next up - a private party that's so private that to tell you it's location would mean certain death... so we'll just leave it at that. Cheers!
Stewed Da Baker
If you're going DUI, you might as well DIY in style — with a 383 six pak powered, 500 horse '66 Dodge Charger boasting a worked 727 torque flite trans and a 3:91 posi rear. (Plenty of grunt to blow up any skirt!) Here's Stewed gearing his ride up for Otto's Birthday Bash at The Sunset House in Peekskill on Saturday, August 23rd, featuring the steamy return of our very own Goddesses of Gyration: The Luscious Lushes.
ALSO a rare rumored-to-be-true reemergence of those Bad Boys of the Boneyard — The Scared Stiffs!
Be there or beware!
Time Flies
When You're Having Rum
Summer's swinging and the blender's getting more action than an Army Base Liquor Store Hooker. All of which leads us to the evil pleasures of Rum -- the cheap, murky mistress of mariners worldwide.
While some members of our favorite band, like "Bosun" Brown Tornado, strictly follow Captain Morgan off the plank, others like Otto prefer the landscape-erasing, tsunami effects of a fine Jamaican White Overproof. Stewed, of course enjoys his Mount Gay.
Whatever your pleasure, rum's no fun unless it's imbibed in true witch doctor fashion -- mixed with several other paralyzing poisons of the central nervous system, some fresh fruit, and served in what else? A handsomely horrific Tiki mug!
So da doo rum rum until you da don't no more! And do stay tuned -- the Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails are taking July to learn new songs to unleash on the unsuspecting masses August 23rd (Otto's Birthday!) at the Sunset House in Peekskill.
Okole Maluna!
Highballs and Lowlifes
A rose that smelled like it was watered with stale beer for a month.
A rose where all the petals have been ripped off in a violent "they love us, they love us not" contest.
By the way -- consensus is they love us, but we all know love is a prickly thing.
Anyway, here are our top seven May Magic Moments:
1. Mai Tai Mike's face-melting special guest guitar appearance on the Foghat version of "I Just Want To Make Love To You." Look for more of that!
2. Mike and Andrea showing up at Seany B's and smiling the whole damn time.
3. A floor full of ten-year-olds momentarily paralyzed by the power of rock.
4. Sloe Jim Fizz guest-starring on a Yardbirds romp, dragging notes out of his harp like a caveman in love.
5. The Manhattan Mamapalooza Project -- no DUI's!
6. The Return of the Lady in White, who graced us once again with her spastic cosmic hump-and-grind.
7. And, at the risk of sounding like a broken power amp, we thank our friends who never fail to come out and see us whenever they can. We owe you a drink!
Mixing it up in Millbrook
Cocktails Pound Manhattan
Thanks to everybody who travelled from near and far (that's YOU, Philly gang!) to witness the event. Special thanks to Mamapalooza's own Joy Rose and Randy "The Big Man" Bigness for mixing it all together, and cheers to all the other talent who shared the stage.
Check out the new photos on the Various Shots of 2008 page!
Next up: The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails are puttin' the moves on -- moving to SATURDAYS at The Sunset House in Peekskill. Starting THIS Saturday the 24th for all you imbibers. Be there or beware!
"Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's all right, all right, all right!"
Full Moon Fever
Special thanks to the mysterious Lady in White, who repeatedly flashed the crowd before devouring some hapless (yet happy) mustachioed man on the dance floor, right before our bloodshot bewildered eyes.
(Editor's Note – next time you bring out the Twin Milkmaids, make sure you face the band. We're the ones working for it, for God's sake!)
April Showers bring Whiskey Sours
But hey, we all forgive and forget (except for Otto, who "accidentally" ran his Uncle Salty through with a rusty gaff in 1985) and we're willing to now accept Whiskey Sours (sans embryo and Pixie Stix Mix) temporarily back into the LGC's officially sanctioned Cocktail Corner. Which brings us somewhat awkwardly to promoting the next Sunset House Show on April 18. We're counting down the weeks, the days and the sours till the next time we have the honor to rock for you!
The Shakes
Luckily we had a lot of other diversions to fill our time -- like fitful sleep, Easter candy orgies, paranoid delusions and uh... crap, there must be something else... oh yeah, The Shakes!
But now we're back off the wagon and better than ever. Matter of fact, we're channeling all our new found, recently-lubricated creative energy into crafting the finest LGC show yet-- which we plan to unleash on the unsuspecting girl-on-girl-grinding public Friday April 18th at The Sunset House in Peekskill. Be present or The Brown Tornado will personally visit you at work and blow ill wind in your general direction, which I assure you, is most unpleasant.
Good Friday Gone Bad
Then (provided we all survive) we're draggin' our collective rock-hard glutes up to Seany B's in Millbrook the next night, Saturday the 22nd, where the LGC keep the Guinness Express rolling - taking part in a Poptown Records extravagasm, with international songman Michael Weston King and two other shit-kicking bands.
Erin Go Braless!
Love Sick
Sometimes the glass is half full and sometimes the glass is knocked out of your hand by a sauced sociopath "dancing" to a Deep Purple tune.
Our VD gig fell somewhere in the middle, with the Asian BirdSwine flu wiping out two-thirds of The Luscious Lushes and invading our perfect bodies as well. The result was a rare Lushless event complete with a ton of tissues and a performance that can only be described as "classic."
Next up -- a Friday March 21st post-St. Patrick's celebration at The Sunset House in Peekskill (just keep drinking and you won't notice it's four days later), followed by the band's triumphant return to Seany B's in Millbrook, supporting Poptown Records' own international recording artist and UK's favorite troubadour, Michael Weston King. Details to follow.
If we don't see you at one of these shows, Stewed will personally come to your house and narrow your broadband.
Love means never having to say you're wasted
Uh, oh -- it's that time of year again when Cupid loads his bow and goes gunning for the lonely and unattached. Love is in the air, chocolate's in the box and the edible undies are flying off the shelves. Come fishing for your soul mate this Friday, February 15th at The Sunset House in Peekskill when the Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails take the stage and spread the love like flu through a pre-school.
Or, if you're already sporting a soul mate, bring him/her to the show, as we will be whipping up a legendary pheremone gumbo for your grinding pleasure.
Wanted. Sort of.
Have you seen this guy?
Neither have we. Not for a long long time. Goes by the name of Jeff Valley, aka Subdude -- our smarmy manager.
Since he beat those morals charges and cleared up that nasty business in Venezuela, you would've thought he might resurface, but this shadowy figure is nowhere to found. Last week's raid on the local motel on Rt. 6 turned up traces of his blood, two or three other people's blood, a horribly disfigured still smoking souffle and liberal amounts of vaseline and battery acid. But the trail was cold by the time the feds kicked the door in.
It's actually kind of a misnomer to refer to him as our manager. After all, the only work The Cocktails have ever gotten through Jeff Valley were disasterous gigs at a nursery (nothing but shrubs), a nursery school (nothing but pink eye) and a near-riot at an Al-Anon Meeting. Still, we gave him another chance -- the promise of that Superbowl Halftime gig did sound rather appealing.
Little did we realize it was all a ruse -- nothing but an excuse to get back into our good graces and into our Band Kitty (the stash, not the feline, although we wouldn't put that past him either).
So here we are again, broke as the day we bought Harvé a keyboard, all because we put our trust in a guy that managed to run himself over with his own van. So when you see us again at The Sunset House in Peekskill on February 15th, please throw money at us, or at the very least, show us your boobies.
And if you spot Jeff Valley lurking at one of our gigs, give him the following message -- "We still love ya man, Boy George tattoo and all."
Chill with the Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails
Our latest poster and eflyer.
The Toast of Christmas Past
If you somehow missed the LGC at The Sunset House on Friday, you are almost certain to be rewarded Christmas morn with a lump of coal-sized kidney stone. The merriment that occured was legendary. Once again The Luscious Lushes stole the show -- dolled up as delectible, candy-coated, devil daughters of Vixen.
All eyes were on Plushie, Slushie, and Crushie as bar patrons of both sexes strained to feel the fur trim the table dancers had to offer.
The Band, of course churned out electric rock like Santa's Workshop on a three week meth bender.
Holiday highlights included a molten version of "Run Run Rudolph" and a Ventures medley featuring our own Sound Manaschevitz Dickie Mellonball on bass. A full night of sonic erotica!
Also, special thanks to Shopkeeper Sue for whipping up the best Espresso Martinis this side of the North Pole. To Diamond Dirk (The Legend) Pidgeon for extra muscle and continued support. To smarmy agent Jeff Valley and (that was) Cole for the love and hustle, and to all our new and old friends who shook the room like a freakin' snow globe.
Now on to sleep mode. (Translation - sleep, rehab, learning new songs) We'll be back at The Sunset House January 18th, 2008. Until then, drink up, lie down and keep checkin' back for updates.
Rumor of the Week - Someone's ex got Blitzened and headed south to the wrong pole.
Drink the Grog. Burn the Log.
All of which means, we need your love. Desperately. Come out to the Sunset House in Peekskill on December 21st and show us your love. Feel free to show us everything else, too. Fa-la-la-la-la!
It's the Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails last show of 2007 and we're going out with a bang -- a full-on yuletide garage rock thrill ride complete with the solid gold stylings of Santa's sexiest little helpers -- the always lap-warming Luscious Lushes. Be there!
Filthy Pilgrims, Sexy Squaws
Thanksgiving came six days early as the LGC Plymouth-rocked The Sunset House this past Friday eve. Not only was there a cornucopia of Cocktail loyalists dancing their collective asses off, but a whole new crop of pie-eyed pioneers came out to witness the spectacle, too.
Thanks of course to everyone, but the big Thanksgiving Drumstick of Love goes out to Plushie, Slushie and Crushie Lush, whose hips (and skimpy outfits) brought fire from the sky and whipped up a gravy none will soon forget.
And check out the gallery of new photos from the gig! (More Lush-shots and even some of the band!)
Next up - private party on December 1st at Putnam Valley's German American Club and then Hot Shots in Newtown, CT on December 7th - a day which will live in infamy.
Rumor of the week - St. Pauli Dangerously's EMT training saved his own ass Friday night....
Seafaring Tragedy
(show goes on)
In case you hadn't heard, our own Otto Wino met with an unfortunate fishing accident last weekend off the coast of Nova Scotia. Seems the great white he was trying to gaff whipped around and tore off a substantial chunk of Otto's foot before escaping into the dark depths.
Unfazed, Otto cauterized the wound with a hot knife and a fifth of overproof Jamaican rum. The accident was unfortunate, but the rum sacrifice a true tragedy.
Nevertheless, this Friday's gig at Peekskill's Sunset House will go on despite Otto's hobbled state. Although he has vowed to rock in an upright position, the band is adamant that he not bleed to death (on stage anyway) and may force him to rock seated. Come witness this new unravelling drama, plus the glory and the power of all that is LGC, and for God's sake, please help Otto carry something at some point during the night.
Rumor no more!
in Newtown on December 7th!
Hot Shots on 130 Mt Pleasant Rd.
Raucus Roll!
The LG Cocktails, of course, burned like a thousand suns until they flamed out in a sonic supernova of monitorless magma that somehow, but not unexpectedly, included Dino.
Special thanks to Johnny and Thea from JV Productions for getting us lubed up at the pre-party party and to Plushie and Gary for putting us up (and putting up with us) at Club Bubble. And to all our friends who show up all the time -- you know we love you!
Next up – THE SUNSET HOUSE in Peekskill on November 16th. Every third Friday of every month - we're there, so you be there. There, there…
Then, get your ghoul on and go see The Scared Stiffs (featuring LGC's own Otto Wino) Saturday October 27 at the spookiest Stompfest of all – Frankenstein's Fortress in Stanfordville, NY.
NOTE: New photos up from the October 5th Sunset House and October 13th Seany B's shows.
RUMOR OF THE WEEK – The LifeSize Gorgeous Cocktails crack Connecticut for the first time when they (allegedly) might appear at Hot Shots in Newtown on December 7th -- a day that doesn't necessarily need any extra infamy, but we'll be more than glad to provide it.
Booze? Music? Birthdays?
But come early! The Lifesize Gorgeous Cocktails are doing their thing at 8ish – a one-set sex assault on your senses before releasing the stage to the other amazing bands for sloppy seconds and thirds. Bring wetnaps!
Ears ringing... livers screaming... people buzzing...
The Fallen Biker Benefit was cool. Thanks to Jason Gisser for the impeccable sound and a Few Good Men MC for being great hosts and for not beating us to death with pool cues.
The Dino Fregosi Experience was everything an out-of-control, decadent excuse for rock 'n' roll excess should be. What happened at the Claddagh stays at the Claddagh. Special thanks to Chris Laubis from The Scared Stiffs for making it all happen. If anybody found our bag full of t-shirts, let us know.
Sunday's Mahopac Gazebo gig was very... bright. Daytime's a bitch, but all had a good time. Hair-of-the-dog-stuck-to-some-cotton-candy is the best way to describe it. Shout outs to Scooby-Doo, for the sexy-as-you-can-imagine stripper routine during whatever song we were playing.
See you all at The Sunset House this Friday October 5th and then in Millbrook at Seany B's 101 on the 13th. That appears for the moment to be the last one for October, as we take some time to learn some new songs and replenish out liquor supplies.
Requests? Drop us a line.
A Regular Appearance AND the Metamucil Puzzle Winner!
The winner of our unannounced contest is a Mr. or Ms. S. Rarfell of Putnam Valley. Congrats to the winner of a solo lapdance from our own "Foxy" Roxy (she of the very beautiful lips and teeth)! May you two find bliss -- or your ways to our monthly gig at the Sunset House, at least!
Three Gigs in 24 hours!
September 29, 6:30 pm
Benefit for Fallen Bikers
Eagle's Hall, Ossining, NY

Route 6N and Sycamore Rd
Holy Metamucil, Batman!
Beyond Sunset
As if booty-shakin' babes dancing on wobbly tables wasn't enough, a surprise special guest appearance by the legendary local singer/ frontman/madman, Dino Fregosi, took it to the next level, which could best be described as total reckless chaotic abandon!
The end of the night saw Dino, Roxy, Stewed and the delicious Plushie Lush sharing a mic with The Scared Stiff's bass-thumping ghoul-gone-wild Chris Laubis before the whole thing basically burst into flames.
Dino had so much fun that he invited LGC to open up for his ever-popular Dino and the Missiles next Saturday night (9/29) at The Claddagh in Mahopac at 10.
For those following along, that's three gigs in 24 hours this upcoming weekend for the Cocktails, beginning with The Fallen Biker Benefit at 6:30 at Eagle's Hall (7 Old Albany Post Rd, Ossining, NY) and winding up at the gazebo in Mahopac Chamber Community Park (Corner of Routes 6 and 6N, Downtown Mahopac) at 1:30 pm. Hope to see you at one or all of 'em. We'll be the ones on stage -- with the guitars, drums and stuff...
On a separate note - we raise and drain our glasses to the meanest pianist we know, Harvé Bangwaller, who not only survived his first LGC gig, but made it sing. Thanks, Harvé -- we may even reconsider not posting those embarrassing post-gig cheesecake shots of you, too.
The Sweet Spot
We'll make it up to you if it's the last goddamn thing we do! Drop by the Sunset House (a delicious bar of ill repute) on September 21st at 137 N. Water St. and raise your glasses to help us ring in whatever needs to be rung. We'll be ones on stage wearing the guitars and stuff. Now, where's my refill?
Another gig!
See? I Tole You!
We'll also be performing on September 30 on the gazebo in Lake Mahopac during the big Whatchamacallit Festival. Start time approximately 1:30 p.m. Details to follow when someone 'splains it to me better. Bring the kids! (We'll try not to scare them too much....)
Rainy Days and Mondays....
We apologize to our friends and fans and hope to have something new lined up soon!
