Kiwi's Tip of the Week

Speed Racer alluded to my tip de la semaine below, which makes it all the more justifiable that it is the tip of the week. If you are a bar band, recognize that people are there to hear music, dance and have fun. So, when you get a good set (finally) going and people have started to peel themselves from the chairs to which they were sure their skin was starting to graft, play more dance-able music! It is generally not a good idea at these moments to break into your own world of obscure, mid-beat (so no one can dance) music, no matter how stellar your guitar rips may seem...er, I mean be.

Random Thoughts from Speed Racer

- Fungus Amungus is a clever name for a band, but it’s also kind of gross.
- The Chocolate Festival really is like adult trick-or-treating, without the dressing up.
- I’m sad that John Wayne was rolled up in a towel for two years…it’s not his fault he couldn’t scream for help.
- It makes me happy when Lamb Chop says “good morning” to us.
- Why does the Red Parka Pub attract the most bizarre collection of people?
- If you’re going be in a band that plays at bars, remember that you have an audience.
- The Oscar’s sucked this year.
- If this snow continues, we are going to have an EPIC spring ski season.
- My last run of the day on Saturday (Humphry’s Ledge) was awesome.
- I need to get a digital camera.

Kiwi's Tip of the Week

Not to be confused with the tip for me...this week's tip applies to everyone! Well, everyone who likes a cocktail now and then. There is a NH Liquor Store in Glen, NH located just past the Red Parka Pub on the left. You may notice a sign for a ski rental place, a US Post Office and the aforementioned liquor store. If you go into said store on the same day that you skied, you can show your lift ticket to receive $5 off your purchase of $25 or more. How do I know this? Well, after an afternoon at Black Mountain, I decided a bottle of wine was in order. One bottle became five (because I'm a lush) and bob's your uncle--I got the discount. (Didn't know it at the time, so it was a pleasant surprise at the checkout counter!)
