The Boat Party!!

Pete just dropped off new pictures fom the Waupaca Boat Party...

Thanks Pete! This was party was one for the record books... the floatilla of pontoon boats following the Waupaca Cheif while we were cranking out tunes was something to behold.

Halloween gig... Food or no food???

I'm changing info on the poster ... the food table and cover charge thing is still being ironed out so I would rather have something out here to just promote this event without worrying about the exact details until we have them. If anyone needs a .jpeg or .pdf of the poster art let me know. Mia Martini's will be putting this on their web site too. The bar looks great and the heated tents attached to the place out on that great beer garden should make this an ideal set up. Fog machines... black lights... costumes... beer... and oh...did someone say there is a prize for the sexiest costume? Guess I'll have to get that Borat thong out and hold off on the manscaping for the next few weeks.   

The new Halloween set list is shaping up with a lot of new tunes for us including: Warewolves of London, Evil Ways, Psycho Killer, Highway to Hell, Monster Mash. Should be a blast!  How Ken survive without any brooding Irish ballads remains to be seen.

OK so here we go again...

And the naming goes on... 

The band that changes its name for every gig now seems to change its name several times BEFORE each gig. 

Halloween is shaping up to be a fun night with a special set list, costumes, special lighting, heated tents for the beer garden with the band music playing. There will even a nice food buffet to keep you on a steady party pace... 

So here is the NEW - new band name for the Halloween gig 2008! 

Come out and join "Ken Dix & Strangers With Candy" for a rock'in good time!

Saturday Night - November 1st, at The Martini Bar in Downtown Des Plaines.

A Waupaca Weekend ... Wow!

What a blast! Thank you Pete and Jane for opening you hearts and home to us all this weekend. You handled the invasion of band members and kids with amazing grace and humor. We are all very grateful to you for such a memorable weekend. Of course we also would like to thank the DeYoung's for hosting such a great event on Saturday! 

The band and families had a great time in lovely Waupaca WI. over Labor Day. Here is a video! See the slideshow of the weekend in the bar on the side.
