HELLO! This is Patrick from Pie Boys Flat! We're back in the city after a couple of weeks up the road in Lake Placid, NY and N. Conway, NH. Through a few ups and downs it seems like the summer is flying by!

On the 24th the pieboys tried our hand at a Thursday night gig at the Pig 'n' Whistle in Manhattan. While our turnout was a little low the gig was cool. We finally started on time seeing as how we were to start earlier that night. Our show there on June 1st was a return to our usual blast of a time at the Pig. We'll be back on the 29th!!

On June 25th we drove up 87 to Lake Placid, NY in the Adirondack Mountains for our second group of dates since our first trip in Jan. of 07. We noticed a significant increase in the audience this time. A lot of the listeners were ready to party and boy did they. They were out to spend a lot of money (as they had to in Lake Placid during tourist season). We invited one listener up for a tambourine solo, well,..... she commandeered the tambourine and my mic for an asscredible solo on Bad Company's 'Can't Get Enough'! I never really understood that song until that night. Most people wouldn't until they've seen a tambourine played on an ass cheek. I never knew Bad Company went so deep. So deep.

Those two nights up in the Plass went fine but we did have a few moments of weakness with our voices as is usual with 2 back-to-back 4 hour shows. So rest was a must over the few days we had back in NYC before we went to New Hampshire to play a few gigs at Delaney's Hole in the Wall and another double header at the Red Parka Pub. Delaney's was great as were the last two times we played there. Aside from a few technical kinks were worked out we managed to have a killer show. The next two nights at the Parka however were awesome! Both nights there we had a killer crowd ready for us! Word had spread through the town that we were playing the 3 shows that week and they showed us a hell of a time! One of the highlights of the shows was an impromptu version of 'Jane Says' with local bartender HELENE who wailed! Helene, you are in the wrong business. As well we would like to thank Sarah Nuri AGAIN for all the hard work she had done for us on getting people out to the shows that week! What a success she made for us!

Right now we've got a couple days to hang around the city until we head up to Stowe, VT. to play a club date and then off to Eastern Kentucky Univ. for a double header and a private party in Va. Afterwards we'll be back here in NYC for a gig at the pig on the 29th! Don't miss it and stay cool!
