THE STRAIGHT UP

Atom Smashed

A Toast!

A Lifesize Gorgeous Toast  to the newly revved-up giant Swiss Proton Beam Particle Collider which will either:

  1. Finally reveal the deep dark mysterious origins of the genesis of our planet
  2. Open up matter-eating black holes which will ultimately destroy our planet.

At this point, either outcome is sort of okay with us. If it is truly the beginning of the end, then we leave you with these delectable shots of the gang at Otto’s Birthday Bash a couple of weeks ago, where atom-smashing and sour mashing coexisted in equal measure.

But if the only black hole in our future is Sarah Palin’s, then by god get your ass to the next Sunset House gig in Peekskill, Friday, September 19th. That’s back to FRIDAYS. Take note Calendar Girls!

And if we somehow manage to cling to our mortal coils beyond that, there’s The Scared Stiff’s own Chris Laubis’ annual Birthday Crusade happening (and we mean happening) at Seany B’s in Millbrook, NY on October 11th. Bands sharing the stage with The LGC are slinky voodude rockers Black Cat Xing and rode-hard-and-put-way-wet journeymen, Steel Rodeo.

Besotted Otto

Thanks to the fearless faithful who turned out in hurricane force for Otto’s Birthday Smash. The grass skirts were shakin’, the floorboards were quakin’, the nubbins were achin’ and the meat of choice was... chicken. The LGC and special guests The Scared Stiffs tore it up and drank it down till dawn with a party and an afterbash which none will soon forget, but all have actually blanked out on already due to a particularly potent post-party punch.

Next up - a private party that’s so private that to tell you it’s location would mean certain death... so we’ll just leave it at that. Cheers!
