 <title><![CDATA[Spring House Beer]]></title>
 <link>http://spasticnation.com/blog/index.php?itemid=238</link>
<description><![CDATA[We were out driving to the stores at Kendig the other night, and passed the barn with the brewery in it, that just happened to be open to the public later in the evening, so on the way home we stopped at <a href="http://www.springhousebeer.com"target="blank">Spring House Brewery</a> and bought a Growler of the new Imperial Red, which is very good stuff..... It sounds like they have that and a Pale ALe called Seven Gates Pale Ale as their signature brews....<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://a687.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/53/m_85e0c1834fe125affe0706eb50f34fd6.gif"><br />
<br />
The Brewery is located about a mile north of Conestoga, PA, right on the main drag, or just about Two miles south of New Danville, PA on the same main drag.......  Seems as though they are gonna try to be open on Monday and Wednesday evenings with Tastings and sales of the beers in Growlers, or the Pale Ale in cases.... some of the bars in Lancaster and York Counties also have the Beers on Tap, with listings on the website and the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/springhousebeer"target="blank">Myspace</a> Page<br />
<br />
Check it out!<br />
We've got a growler to kill.!<br />

 <title><![CDATA[The Don and Mike show was..........]]></title>
 <link>http://spasticnation.com/blog/index.php?itemid=234</link>
<description><![CDATA[Awwwwww, to hear those words, was being the one to focus on, makes my very sad indeed. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_and_Mike"target="blank">The Don and Mike Show</a> is no longer.... Don Geronimo, the first half of the duo, Retired earlier in April, three years after his wife's tragic passing in an automobile accident. Three times since then he has tried to quit the show, and I guess it all finally got the better of him........<br />
Things don't last forever, but the Don and Mike show has been a big part of my life, even though I didn't get to listen to it all that much. Listening to them got me through some really rough times back in the mid nineties, and all throughout the last few years, it was nice to know you could switch that radio dial and find the same show that made you laugh and feel like you did all those times before, but with new content and up to date topics.<br />
I wish Don the best at taking the time, and Mike O'Meara the best at keeping the remnants of the show alive in a new fashion, as any true professional broadcaster would. Keep on keepin on Mike! I hope to find you somewhere on the radio dial real soon!<br />
<br />
Rock on<br />

 <title><![CDATA[David Ford at World Cafe LIve, philly 5/2/08]]></title>
 <link>http://spasticnation.com/blog/index.php?itemid=233</link>
<description><![CDATA[David FOrd did a Friday Free at Noon SHow at World Cafe LIve for WXPN. We made it there to see him and drop off the picture book that Kim made from the show at the TLA last week. We got to meet up afterward, had a long chat with Joe and Dave, David's short term "Band" Mates, while David signed autographs and met with fans for almost an hour. Then it was our turn and gave him the picture book and had a chat, then it was time for a picture. He even signed some of the shots she took for us, one even to Penn Manor High School!<br />
<br />
<br />
Kim, David, Joe, Dave, and Myself after the show at WOrld Cafe live!<br />
<br />
Other shots can be seen in the photosection of my myspace page <a href="http://www.myspace.com/spasticnationjeffrey"target="blank">myspace.com/spasticnationjeffrey</a> you need to log in to myspace, which is easy and free, but I'll also try and get the shots up here too in a bit....<br />
<br />
also the show can be heard on <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90110206"target="blank">NPR.org via Xpn.org</a>, have a listen and if you do it close you can hear Kim whooping it up and I start the clapping a few times when he rings the bell... but you'll have no idea what I'm talking about unless you listen in!<br />
<br />
Thanks a bunch to David and company!<br />
<br />
Rock on<br />

 <link>http://spasticnation.com/blog/index.php?itemid=232</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hopefully soon, I'll be doing a full length Featuresqe story about the experience, but for now all I can say is wow! What a show, too short, but very cool, and he had some mates from home onstage with him, Joe playing the electric suitcases, and Dave playing second guitar..... We got Kim a photo pass, so we were right up front and she was allowed to take her "Professional" camera in... I had my digital, but with a busted screen I couldn't figure out how to turn off the flash, so I ended up with some shots off of my camera phone...... so that's all I have at the moment. Kim is developing and proof printing her shots, so when we figure out which ones to use, we'll print them and I'll scan them and get them on here as part of the article.<br />
<br />
for now<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
David Ford<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
 Joe on the Electric Suitcase<br />
<br />
David really kills it during his finale <a href="http://musicglob.com/video/david-ford-state-of-the-union-video/"target="blank">"State of the Union"</a>... There were videographers there but I haven't found it, so that'll have to do for  now....<br />
<br />
Right on<br />
Also David is playing World Cafe Live on Friday at noon time, that's May 2nd! I might try to be there!<br />
<br />
Rock on<br />
