Number Five

Please say hello to my old roommate (good friend, and long-time concertgoing bud) Jay to the lineup. Over the last several years, he has become a big part of the NLM crew (before we got ourselves a name).

He's been to many live shows with us* over the last three years, and he introduced us to Air Traffic Controller back in November, thanks to his friendship with members of the band. Jay can also occasionally be spotted at a LakeFest or Gavinalia from time to time...

Welcome aboard old friend!

Welcome!


The "Not Lame Minus" crew have all known each other (to varying degrees) for nearly a decade now. I met Brian in Newington, NH in August of 1999 as we built a new Barnes & Noble from the ground up. Rob came to the store (and our group of bookstore friends) about a year later, and Gavin came onto the scene when he joined me and some old friends on our third annual trip to Nantucket in 2000. Various island vacations, parties, and concerts over the years have led us to where we are today: four good friends who don't get to hang out as much as we used to, but who manage to gather a few times a year to catch up, listen to live music, sit around a lake, or get away for an annual (usually off 'peak season') "guys' weekend".

Hopefully our retellings of old adventures, and recaps of new ones, will keep you entertained for a minute or two during your busy (or not so busy) day... Thanks for stopping by!
