Wow!  What a party!  And wow, what a weekend!

Thanks to all who made Fats' Birthday Blow Out a huge success and one great big blast!

We started the party at the weekend Open Mic hosted by Dave Coppola on Wednesday night, ripped through a few sets (not to mention countless Growleritas and Jamesons) and then had an interview with The Georgetown Record.  Look for that interview after some time next week….

Then the party continued Friday night, first at The Grille and then over to be thoroughly impressed by Elle Gallo w/ On The Rocks.  Having heard the hype around Elle & her band, I was a little wary, however a review of the night will be up on the Boston Blues Society over the next week or so.

After that Nigel, Boom & Fats rolled out yet another new line-up for Georgetown Fats & The Growlers.  In the Blues/Jam Band Formation, the five piece (two guitars, harp, two vocalists, Bass, drums, and percussion) which is now dubbed the "Over Loaded" line-up we played three and a half hours of up-tempo stuff.  What a night!  Never underestimate the power of drunk people dancing up a storm.

Thanks to Anthony, Uncle Jim, Katie, Diane, The Walsh Family and the rest of our family from The Grille for giving us our home base.

To Nigel and Boom Boom….it isn't always easy, but DAMN IT is it always fun to play with you two drunks.

To the Mahoney Family, thanks for your continued support….

To Brendan and RJ….you two drink like Growlers, and play like Growlers….thanks for "making us commit" to the additional line-up to the band.  The initial run through for Georgetown Fats & The Growlers-Overloaded went ridiculously well.  We can't wait to do it again.

To "The Prick"…..thanks for the Japanese Single Malt & for your support.  You're the best man.  You can be a real bite in the ass, but I know it is part of your charm.  Also, I'm looking so ridiculously forward to the Spinners game on Sunday you just won't know.  Hopefully "Chone" loves baseball as much as you, and hopefully he hits and throws like Katy.

And to the Georgetown Crew……M, JJ, Jeff and the rest of our Georgetown Crew.  You dance hard, you part harder, and we love ya for it.

And, last, but certainly not least….to the Growlers Significant others…..thanks for allowing us our "Golf Game"….

Until later…..
