Greased Up Deaf Guy (GUDG), his brother Heffe, Crayons Taste Like Purple (CTLP) and FortyOz(40) met up at Greased Up's house. He and Mrs. Greased Up fed us all with Indian Pickle Chicken aka IPC, grilled homefries and homebrewed IPA. OMG.. It was so tasty.
Then we iron'd on the transfers to make our I.T.M.F.A t-shirts.
We all drank more homebrew and then shaved GUDG's head into a Mr T. mohawk. This is it about halfway through:
Friday morning we loaded up the truck with the snowboard gear and 4 cases of those yummy homebrew IPA 22s. CTLP has been perfecting his Lynndie pose, and likes to show it off every chance he gets:
We stopped at a diner in attleboro for a huge breakfast. Here is Heffe's 17lb Dutch Oven'd omelet(hehehehe). CTLP couldn't resist another Lynndie.
Then we roadtripped up to Lake Placid at a pretty relaxed pace... at least in the Heffe mobile. I'm not sure you'll agree but I took a picture of this bridge 'cause I thought it looked pretty cool.
We got to the hotel a little early, room wasn't ready but whatever, it was happy hour, St Patrick's Day... so we did what anyone would do... Start Drinking Guiness!
The day flew by after that, many more homebrews and whatnot. Later we headed to the venue where we were all searched more thoroughly than the last time I flew anywhere. Wow. Unpleasant.
Wow.. a very industrious f'r got Friday night's sets up already on Live Archive.
We were lucky to get some freakin' amazing seats, about 1/2way back in the venue, two or three rows up from the floor. Close enough to jump down and wander through the crowd but far enough up to see the stage nicely. This pict is a bit blurry, I took it with my phone.. doesn't like the dark so much. You get the idea though.
After the show we all crashed.
Saturday morning we slept in a bit later, ate a *huge* breakfast at the Black Bear, then went snowboarding at Whiteface.
The snow wasn't so great.. in fact the mtn was mostly ice. I had a couple good runs but dodging ice got old for me pretty quickly. I took a few runs before hitting the lodge to see the bands playing on the two stages. I caught the end of Dread Clampitt's set. Pretty cool.
I took one more run with the other guys, then we all headed back to the car to get warmed up for moe's set on outdoor stage. Hmmmm the IPA rocked. We gave some to the Canadians that were parked next to us eh. They compared it favorably to the IPA from Trinity... now that's a pretty good complement to GUDG and his brother who brewed it.
Holy crap... we all were impressed that moe played a set outside at the mountain Saturday afternoon... It was about 15-20F and wicked windy. We were all freezing, the guys were up there with no gloves playing like madmen. We had a pretty cool spot up on a snowbank on the left of the stage. Check out the set yourself Here.
After the mountain we swarmed the hot tub back at the hotel then recharged the batteries for a couple hours before dinner. We hit up a steakhouse on the way to the show. A bit more expensive than what we expected but whatever... it was damn yummy.
Saturday night the show was great. IMO not quite as good seats, closer to the stage but a bit higher up.
After the show we had a pretty uneventful night, then another huge breakfast again at the Black Bear, then a long drive home back to Attleboro.
Great trip.
