White Wedding - Bally Bunion 2/26/11 Brooklyn, New York

Photobucket

McFly's second gig with us was lots of fun and we had a nicely built setlist of tunes. Bally Bunion's usual energetic crowd got really kind of wild during "Purple Rain" influencing people to gesticulate wildly and toss napkins skyward (of which there is some rare footage below)

White Wedding - B.B. Kings Blues Club - 100th SHOW 2/25/11 New York City

Photobucket

Not only was it the band's 100th show and we really have come a very long way but this was also unequovically the bands finest show from my standpoint on the bandstand. I have never been so entertained seeing a performance at B.B. Kings as much as ours (Humble, Aint I) and I saw Dr. Demento at this very location.

Premiered tonight was the "Weird Al" portion of "Like a Virgin" that I forgot we had rehearsed but we recovered quite nicely as the band are becoming more and more flexible as an ensemble. This gig was also the first time that I saw many costumes which gave the show a "what happens next" edge for me not to mention what the audience must have been thinking. The band played very well but I am super proud of our singers for making this a real show.

White Wedding - Digital Ad Campaign 2/11

Photobucket

Many Beautiful Photographs were being taken at the Brooklyn Bowl shows and I decided to pick some of Jamie's and make a series of digital advertisements to pepper Facebook with over the course of a few weeks. Instead of putting all our names in a hat the photos were created in this order leaving Doc Brown for last since he is our fearless bandleader.

May We Check Your Bags Sir? - Showboat Resort & Casino 2/22-24/11 Atlantic City, New Jersey

Photobucket

Jamie, Sean and myself were offered a great deal on rooms so we took a mini-trip to Atlantic city to frolic and cavort. I had some of the best and worst food the boardwalk had to offer and am still awaiting my winning streak, however I did adopt a ceramic squirrel and discovered that Potato Chips and Onion Dip have finally gotten the respect due to them and are officially in the snack portion of the menu.

THE PROS: Potato Chips and Onion Dip on the menu, Extra pillow sent promptly to room, Ice machine on each floor, Room darkening curtains,

THE CONS: Potato Chips and Onion Dip for Ten Dollars (Room Service), Shampoo.Conditioner combo, Soda machine dispenses warm soda, No Ipod dock, No writing paper,

Surprisingly the tastiest thing I had was Johnny Rockets Philly Cheese Steak with a Cherry Coke.

Support Your Local Business - Maggio Music

Photobucket

Like many important places in ones formative years you never lose memories of them or the experience you had there, the local movie theater, the restaurant a few blocks away, your nearby newsstand and for the musically inclined the neighborhood music store. Maggio Music and Bath Music were such mecca's for a whole lot of us and a joy to walk into feeling as though you were soaking up knowledge and inspiration just by being in the vicinity of these wonderful musical instruments.
