2007 Wrap Up

Well folks.... this is it.... the last day of 2007... what a year it was... here are some highlights:

The 1st one that deserves mention is the 'Monster Inside SURPRISE' party put on by Amy, Val, Carol and Laura. A surprise party to mark the release of our first CD, complete with a band history 'shadow box' and a 'Monster Inside' cake!! It was really the best! What a great evening... we love our ladies :)

_______________________________________________

The next highlight is surely the CD release party @ Harry's - We 'retired' our old banner, where the crowd got to sign it and leave some comments :) Our CD was in the jukebox....It was an awesome evening... one that will definately go down in the books as one to always remember.


____________________________________________

Next mention has to be our St Patty's Bash @ Leon's! We always love to play St Pattys Day and this one was jammin'! We LOVE that green!

_______________________________________________

The next highlight really is something special.... we had the opportunity to do our first all acoustic gig at Barnes and Noble. We had the opportunity to play songs from the CD, and promote the sale of the CD at the store. Special thank you again to Amy @ 1st Book. It was really a special thing to walk in to the sight of Monster Inside posters, and hear your own CD playing lightly through the store PA as people read their books and sipped on their coffee. The response from the crowd and staff was a warm one....truley a great night for us - and we say thank you!

The 2007 Wrap Up can't be posted without the mention of Cusick Fest! This was the 2nd year for us and we had a great time... we're glad the weather held out this time... it was a fun day filled with beer, food, friends, and music ALL DAY LONG!!! Ya can't beat that!!!

Now we gotta talk about the HUGE Halloween BASH at Harry's..... [Eric took EXTRA time to shave his legs this year,, so we knew it was gonna rock for sure!] We even had our own softball team complete with cheerleader! We started the Halloween bash @ Harry's in '06, and because of you it's been a huge success and we're already on the books for next year. It really is the best Halloween Party in town and we have all of you to thank for it!

We also wanna mention our gig in Sarver, Pa. It's important for us to try to play new places when we can... even if it is a little bit of a trek to get there. The folks at Peter B's were great and we'll be visiting them again!

We gotta mention the fun at Billy's Black and Gold... It was Thanksgiving Weekend and it was a great gig to play before the madness of the holiday season!

In December we were one of the bands featured on CD93.3's Homegrown Show ("Monster Inside" was played) - it's great to hear a local radio station supporting local original music! Special thanks to our friend Viking Jim at The Wolf for his support!

In Closing... it's been a great freakin' year.....and really, we only have YOU to thank! Without you, we couldn't do what we do. We try to make every night, a night to remember... thanks for making it possible folks! 2008 will surely have it's highlights as well... we are learning a lot of different material and writing for CD #2! We'll just have to wait and see what the new year brings!


Happy New Year - and we'll see ya in 2008!
