Last night was quite the spectacle to behold!  The best Aussie import since AC/DC, SICK PUPPIES came to our town to play the Handlebar!  They dropped by the station while I was on the air to record an interview and acoustic set with Dex so I managed to sneak into the production room and get a pic!

Before the show, the PUPS did a meet ‘n’ greet with some of our listeners.  Before the meet ‘n’ greet started, I went into the concert hall to talk to Brandon from A VACANT SOUL, one of the bands opening the show.  While we were talking, the PUPS came out to get ready for the meet ‘n’ greet so I introduced them to Brandon.  So we got talking and I made a comment about their “Shimrock n’ Roll” shirt from their 2011 St. Patty Day Run and Shim asked me my size and grabbed me one which I am proudly sporting today!

As the show got under way, I got to see many folks I know and got to hang with them upstairs where ‘little’ people like myself can enjoy a show without sniffin’ some dudes armpits!  Then Chris Siciliano, the record rep for EMI Records (SICK PUPPIES’ label) showed up and so did the tequila!

By the time I got up on stage with Dex and Paige, I was feeling mighty good!  I taunted the crowd in order for Dex and Paige to psyche up the arrival of the PUPS then made my way back upstairs to watch a killer show!

When their set was over, the PUPS made their way over to the merch table to meet and sign autographs for as many fans as they could.  Siciliano and I ran over to say goodbye to the band then went our separate ways as he had to drive all the way back to Atlanta and I had to head to….McDonald’s for some tasty McDoubles to soak up the booze!  And, yes, Tessa was the designated driver!
