8:06 Speaker 6: brought the boss, my wife, Terry.

8:08 Speaker 5: Okay, morning, Hi Terry.

8:10 Speaker 6: She said, I'm the boss, and I can say so.

8:12 Speaker 5: Oh okay, all right, well, very good, very good. So

8:17 Speaker 5: we were talking off air about this the reason I'm

8:20 Speaker 5: excited to have you here, so Charlie Hill. So, just

8:23 Speaker 5: for clarification, Charlie Hill is not a band. Charlie Shill

8:26 Speaker 5: is a venue. And I'm not blowing smoke when I

8:30 Speaker 5: say this. Of all the obviously, you know, when musicians

8:33 Speaker 5: come on the show, we talked about various places to

8:34 Speaker 5: play in the area. Charlie Hill comes up more than

8:38 Speaker 5: any other venue that we talk about on the show.

8:41 Speaker 5: I hear about Charlie Hill all the time. Have been

8:44 Speaker 5: for how long have you been opening? It's been a

8:45 Speaker 5: couple at least a couple of years.

8:46 Speaker 6: Right, The first show was in twenty fourteen.

8:50 Speaker 5: Twenty fourteen and oh wow, longer than I realized.

8:53 Speaker 6: It's been growing like crazy.

8:54 Speaker 5: Oh wow wow.

8:55 Speaker 3: It started with annual event third weekend in August, a

9:01 Speaker 3: Live Love Laugh Festival, and went from a once a year,

9:05 Speaker 3: three day weekend event to the doors were open every

9:08 Speaker 3: Saturday night at seven o'clock.

9:09 Speaker 5: Okay, wow, So what's the live lat I live laugh,

9:15 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Live love laugh, Live love Laugh?

9:18 Speaker 4: What is that?

9:19 Speaker 3: That is a festival? Charlie Still is in memory of

9:23 Speaker 3: my daughter Charlie who helped me do the first festival

9:25 Speaker 3: in twenty fourteen, okay. And she loved music. She loved

9:29 Speaker 3: all the music, all the people, red and yellow, black

9:33 Speaker 3: and white. She is just all about a safe place

9:36 Speaker 3: to enjoy music for the musicians and the spectators and

9:41 Speaker 3: the flow artists and.

9:42 Speaker 5: All of it.

9:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why we do what we do.

9:47 Speaker 5: So that's that's how the festival started because of her, Yes, okay, yeah.

9:52 Speaker 3: Well the first the first festival was done celebrating the

9:58 Speaker 3: legalization a medicinal marijuana and educating the public on how

10:01 Speaker 3: they could become law abiding citizens. We had a doctor

10:04 Speaker 3: there that did consultations, issued medical cards caregivers and that's

10:11 Speaker 3: how it was started. And then I lost Charlie ten

10:16 Speaker 3: days before Christmas that year, and so this is all

10:20 Speaker 3: done in memory of Charlie. And I think that's one

10:22 Speaker 3: of the reasons we stand out from other venues is

10:26 Speaker 3: it's about the bands and the musicians and the people

10:28 Speaker 3: who love them and support them. Any event we do

10:31 Speaker 3: always has free camping. Probably not recommended this time of year.

10:35 Speaker 5: Obviously unless masochist.

10:38 Speaker 6: Yeah.

10:39 Speaker 3: Oh, people ask you'd be surprised, really, Oh yeah, we

10:43 Speaker 3: die in New England. But all the events we do

10:49 Speaker 3: are always free. Camping very few events, most most of

10:53 Speaker 3: the shows are always free. And we don't We're not

10:59 Speaker 3: a bar, we're not a restaurant. Yeah, we're there for

11:01 Speaker 3: the bands and the spectators and and you know that

11:05 Speaker 3: when you walk in the door place, it's like a giant,

11:07 Speaker 3: oversized living room with a really nice stage and incredible

11:10 Speaker 3: sound system. Okay, so it's like home away from home.

11:14 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what everyone says.

11:16 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not fancy. We got.

11:19 Speaker 7: Yeah, we decided that making the stage sound better than

11:25 Speaker 7: front of the house, it's probably better for the band's experience.

11:30 Speaker 5: Oh definitely.

11:30 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's basically that's what it's about.

11:33 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's more about having that what you would get

11:37 Speaker 7: if you went to an arena, you know, yeah and

11:40 Speaker 7: actually had you know, expensive production behind you, instead of

11:44 Speaker 7: you didn't get out. We got to close the doors

11:47 Speaker 7: right right, you know. Yeah, we didn't make that much

11:49 Speaker 7: money at the door. Sorry kid, we already tell him sorry.

11:53 Speaker 4: On the way in. Yeah, by donation, buddy.

11:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was trying to explain our relationship between

12:00 Speaker 3: Terry and Lloyd. I believe we met in nineteen eighty

12:04 Speaker 3: one at Noble High School? Is that right about nineteen

12:06 Speaker 3: eighty one?

12:07 Speaker 5: Yes, okay, okay, so yeah, we've.

12:11 Speaker 3: Known each other a long time. Yeah, And it started

12:14 Speaker 3: with the outdoor stage and I had stored people's stuff

12:18 Speaker 3: for free in the back of the big fifty one

12:20 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five foot barn and we got rained

12:23 Speaker 3: out I think it was twenty sixteen, and we had

12:27 Speaker 3: to push a bunch of the junk out of the

12:28 Speaker 3: way one of the back doors, and Wellyd said, you know,

12:31 Speaker 3: who's stuff is this? When's the last time we talked

12:33 Speaker 3: to any of these people? You know, we could put

12:34 Speaker 3: a stage in here and have a nice indoor place too,

12:38 Speaker 3: and so we.

12:40 Speaker 4: Had to be done.

12:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like a yeah.

12:43 Speaker 3: Yeah, one step at a time.

12:46 Speaker 5: So then when so that festival though that so that's

12:49 Speaker 5: what started it, and then and then from there, like

12:52 Speaker 5: what was the transition because now it is every Saturday, right, yeah,

12:55 Speaker 5: I guess Saturday every Saturday.

12:57 Speaker 3: Some a few people came to me in twenty five

13:00 Speaker 3: fifteen and asked me if I was going to do

13:01 Speaker 3: the really cool event again like I said I would

13:03 Speaker 3: every year. Well, I guess you have to go back

13:06 Speaker 3: to Charlie started going to festivals at Harry's Hill when

13:11 Speaker 3: she was fourteen, you know, fibbing to mom about where

13:14 Speaker 3: she was going for the leak again, and she said,

13:17 Speaker 3: I'll help you do the festival. Mom, it's the coolest

13:20 Speaker 3: thing ever to have a festival at my house in

13:22 Speaker 3: our field. But you're just doing it because you're mad

13:24 Speaker 3: because you got in trouble from that sheriff. So you

13:27 Speaker 3: have to promise that you'll do this every year and

13:29 Speaker 3: I'll help you do it, and you have to put

13:32 Speaker 3: it in writing. So she made me put it on

13:34 Speaker 3: the t shirts that year that it was our first

13:37 Speaker 3: annual event. Even the graphics people, the graphics coop lady

13:40 Speaker 3: that used to do our race cars and stuff, she's like, Terry,

13:44 Speaker 3: She goes, you don't put the first annual something, And

13:47 Speaker 3: I said, it's a deal I had with Charlie. So

13:51 Speaker 3: come twenty fifteen, couple people ask you're going to do

13:53 Speaker 3: the festival again, and I said, I'll never have another

13:55 Speaker 3: party again in my life as long as I live.

13:58 Speaker 3: And then I remember, I remember the promise to Charlie

14:01 Speaker 3: that it was in writing on the shirts, and so

14:04 Speaker 3: the kids put it together because I didn't have it

14:06 Speaker 3: didn't mean to do anything, but I said, we'll open

14:09 Speaker 3: the field. Of course, there was no open the doors

14:12 Speaker 3: except for the office, and then I let them do

14:18 Speaker 3: that the twenty fifteen show and Memory Charlie. And then

14:21 Speaker 3: somebody said, well, Terry, if it's all about marijuana, you

14:24 Speaker 3: really need to have something in the end of October

14:26 Speaker 3: where everybody can play like show and tell with their

14:29 Speaker 3: home grows. So they put something together the third weekend

14:33 Speaker 3: in October, and typically a Charlie's Till event will be

14:36 Speaker 3: on the third weekend of the month, and other shows

14:38 Speaker 3: that the bands put together is other weekends of the month.

14:43 Speaker 3: So twenty fifteen we added the Hallow Harvest, which is

14:47 Speaker 3: an annual event that we do, and then the next

14:51 Speaker 3: year it just was more and more and more and more.

14:54 Speaker 3: And as it's the way we do things the way

14:57 Speaker 3: we do it, we didn't all get together one day

14:59 Speaker 3: and say, hey, this is what we're gonna do and

15:01 Speaker 3: this is how we're gonna do it. We pay attention

15:03 Speaker 3: to what the needs are of the people and what's

15:07 Speaker 3: gonna make everybody happy and work, you know, I mean,

15:10 Speaker 3: you can't make everybody happy all the time, no matter

15:12 Speaker 3: how hard you try. But we definitely try hard.

15:15 Speaker 5: Yeah it sounds like it.

15:17 Speaker 3: So now here we are, and I guess one of

15:19 Speaker 3: the things that happened several years ago was we do

15:22 Speaker 3: a lot of shows in the summer, and then we

15:24 Speaker 3: don't do a lot of shows in the winter, so

15:25 Speaker 3: the local guys would come and jam pretty much all

15:28 Speaker 3: winter except for the random shows that we would have,

15:31 Speaker 3: and then come summertime we would have six, six or

15:36 Speaker 3: seven weeks of shows in a row, and then the

15:37 Speaker 3: local jam guys we're like, oh, you don't love us

15:39 Speaker 3: anymore in the summer. So I was like, okay. So

15:43 Speaker 3: then now that's where the open Jam night, the first

15:46 Speaker 3: Saturday every month came into play. So no matter what

15:50 Speaker 3: time of year it is, everyone knows the first Saturday

15:53 Speaker 3: of the month is always open jam. So if anybody

15:56 Speaker 3: wants the opportunity to come play on the Charlie Hills

16:00 Speaker 3: stage and enjoy the you know, because Lloyd's a wizard,

16:05 Speaker 3: he's a madman. Yeah, he's a wizard. So yeah, once

16:15 Speaker 3: he perfected the front house, then he's like, now I

16:19 Speaker 3: gotta get the stage monitors as good, if not better

16:23 Speaker 3: than the front of house. Because if anybody deserves to

16:25 Speaker 3: have quality sound. It's the bands. So we kind of

16:28 Speaker 3: have a joke at Charlie Soil when a new band

16:31 Speaker 3: comes and they get set up on the stage and

16:33 Speaker 3: then they see the experience on the stage for them,

16:36 Speaker 3: they poop their pants. So we actually have a pair

16:38 Speaker 3: of emergency underwear on the stage, like it was a

16:43 Speaker 3: joke alongside. And then wouldn't you know, you come across

16:46 Speaker 3: you know, two dollars that's on flea market, this pair

16:49 Speaker 3: of emergency understands. So just kind of fell in with

16:52 Speaker 3: a joke.

16:53 Speaker 7: Yeah, we're probably one of the only venues right now

16:56 Speaker 7: that are I haven't set of servo drive voutext Devin.

17:01 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a subs run by a servo motor.

17:04 Speaker 7: Oh really no, yeah, they go all the way down

17:06 Speaker 7: to twenty Oh wow, I cut them off at forty

17:09 Speaker 7: Yeah under the drum rise here and it's just the

17:12 Speaker 7: drum production microphones that picked that up, no kidding. The

17:15 Speaker 7: stage presence and drums forty and below is right under

17:18 Speaker 7: your feet. Okay, it's like a kick in the foot. Yeah,

17:23 Speaker 7: it's more of a feeling than a sound.

17:25 Speaker 4: You know.

17:25 Speaker 5: When you started that sentence, so I thought you were

17:27 Speaker 5: going to say you're you're the only venue that has

17:28 Speaker 5: emergency underwear for the.

17:30 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably you probably are.

17:33 Speaker 4: Probably not.

17:39 Speaker 5: As a journalist, I have to ask you going back

17:41 Speaker 5: to something that Charlie had said to you. What the

17:43 Speaker 5: thing about getting in trouble with the sheriff? I have

17:45 Speaker 5: to I have to circle back to that.

17:53 Speaker 3: Carry the rebels.

17:56 Speaker 6: He's the reader.

17:58 Speaker 3: I donot have a criminal record at all, whatsoever? Okay,

18:01 Speaker 3: no speeding tickets, clean driver's license.

18:03 Speaker 5: Yeah.

18:04 Speaker 3: So in twenty fourteen, when I decided to do this

18:07 Speaker 3: crazy thing because I knew it was a lot of

18:11 Speaker 3: people don't break the law. And the only thing we

18:13 Speaker 3: did to break the law was we smoked a little weed.

18:17 Speaker 3: So I got pulled over by the sheriff, York County

18:20 Speaker 3: sheriff in Waterborough. And I hope he hears this because

18:23 Speaker 3: he wasn't not nice.

18:24 Speaker 5: And where where is water water Borough? Is that a

18:28 Speaker 5: New Hampshire?

18:28 Speaker 3: That's no? York County means oh it.

18:31 Speaker 5: May no gotcha? Okayborough mean Okay.

18:35 Speaker 3: A friend of a friend of a friend was actually

18:38 Speaker 3: a caregiver and had the opportunity to take a ride

18:42 Speaker 3: all the way up to like, you know, almost Augusta. Yeah,

18:46 Speaker 3: and go to a caregivers and get that quality bud

18:49 Speaker 3: that everybody looked for. But I didn't have my medical card.

18:52 Speaker 3: Oh so like on a down law, I paid like

18:56 Speaker 3: it was like.

18:56 Speaker 5: A half hour just for clarification. You didn't have it

18:58 Speaker 5: on you here, you didn't have it at all.

19:00 Speaker 3: You know, I have a medical marijuana car, gotcha? Okay,

19:02 Speaker 3: I was a lawbreaker?

19:06 Speaker 5: Yeah you criminal? Yeah yeah. Yeah.

19:13 Speaker 3: He pulls me over. You know, you'd be past each

19:15 Speaker 3: other in the opposite direction, and then all of a sudden,

19:17 Speaker 3: the blues come on. He whips it around. I'm like, well,

19:19 Speaker 3: he's obviously not pulling me over, so I'm not breaking

19:21 Speaker 3: the law. Yeah, and well yeah, slides in right behind me.

19:23 Speaker 3: I'm like okay. So he comes up, put the window down.

19:27 Speaker 3: This is in February. I have a great big tahoe.

19:30 Speaker 3: I have wood equipment, like the haul firewood out of

19:34 Speaker 3: the forest.

19:34 Speaker 8: Yeah.

19:35 Speaker 3: And then I have all my janitor buckets in the backseat,

19:37 Speaker 3: so got a lot of work equipment in there. And uh,

19:41 Speaker 3: and there's snow off in the woods and he comes

19:43 Speaker 3: up and he goes, uh, I pulled you or for

19:45 Speaker 3: going thirty nine into thirty five, And I'm looking at

19:49 Speaker 3: the thirty five mile an hour sign. I'm not even

19:51 Speaker 3: in the thirty five mile and hours long, so I

19:53 Speaker 3: just knew he was not Most police officers are righteous dudes,

19:57 Speaker 3: okay and women, but I knew this was not one

20:00 Speaker 3: to them right off, because I'm not even in thirty five.

20:03 Speaker 3: So he pulled me over for going thirty nine to

20:04 Speaker 3: thirty five. I knew I was going anyway.

20:08 Speaker 5: Even if you were in a thirty five, and it's.

20:10 Speaker 3: Couldn't give you a warning of verbal warning for thirty

20:14 Speaker 3: nine and thirty five, but I distinctly smell your room

20:16 Speaker 3: of marijuana feminating from your vehicle, and I'm like the

20:20 Speaker 3: other day and I yeah, right, So I'm usually pretty

20:23 Speaker 3: respectful that you know, my dad's thirty five years retired

20:26 Speaker 3: Air Force sergeant. Yeah, so I'm pretty respectful to authority.

20:30 Speaker 3: But I'm like, really, I just looked right at the cop,

20:33 Speaker 3: like really, I'm forty six years old. I'm thinking I

20:35 Speaker 3: don't have a speeding ticket or nothing, and he's gonna

20:37 Speaker 3: bust my chops because my vehicle smells like marijuana. So

20:41 Speaker 3: oz Bratt, I go, oh, well, I love my twenty

20:43 Speaker 3: two year old daughter borrow at sometimes you know, and

20:47 Speaker 3: he's like, I'm gonna have to do a seven twenty

20:49 Speaker 3: nine search of your vehicle. So I knew he was

20:51 Speaker 3: gonna toss my truck through everything, over the snow banking

20:54 Speaker 3: in the woods. So I just reached in the console

20:56 Speaker 3: because he was right. I smoked part the first time

20:58 Speaker 3: when I was twelve. It was the stinky scrass I

21:00 Speaker 3: ever had in my life. It was emanating from my

21:03 Speaker 3: vehicle of the aroma. So I just hand him the

21:05 Speaker 3: bag of weed and then he goes, Oh, what am

21:07 Speaker 3: I supposed to do with us? Now, I'm gonna have

21:09 Speaker 3: to fill up paperwork and do a report and everything.

21:11 Speaker 3: And I said, well, I guess you should have thought

21:12 Speaker 3: of that, or you busted my jaws. So I was embarrassed,

21:17 Speaker 3: right bottom line, I always thought it should be legalized. Yes,

21:21 Speaker 3: Indians smoked it in their peace pipes before we started

21:24 Speaker 3: making alcohol. So I'm in a state where you could

21:28 Speaker 3: have a medical card not getting trouble for it, I'm

21:30 Speaker 3: getting in trouble for it. So I was embarrassed. I

21:32 Speaker 3: didn't have my medical card. Now if I knew then

21:36 Speaker 3: at the time, And this is for anybody who doesn't

21:38 Speaker 3: live in Maine or whatever. If you have a medical

21:43 Speaker 3: marijuana card, you're protected by hippolaws. So if a law

21:46 Speaker 3: enforcement officer asks you do you have your medical marijuana

21:51 Speaker 3: card and you say yes, that's the end of the conversation.

21:54 Speaker 3: Do you not have to show or produce that medical

21:57 Speaker 3: marijuana card because it's getting hippolized and likes for hip

22:00 Speaker 3: or rite if they demand to see it. So, but

22:05 Speaker 3: you should never lie to lie to a law enforcement

22:07 Speaker 3: off So but anyway, so that's why I decided to

22:11 Speaker 3: have the festival because there's so many other people like

22:14 Speaker 3: me who don't break the law except they smoke weed

22:17 Speaker 3: or eat it or drink it or whatever. Right, because

22:21 Speaker 3: it's used medically, you know, in a lot of ways too.

22:24 Speaker 3: And so that's why we did that first festival. Yeah, okay,

22:30 Speaker 3: or about a lot of things. So it's also home

22:32 Speaker 3: of Cannabis. Charlie Hill is also home of Cannabis Church

22:35 Speaker 3: of New England.

22:35 Speaker 5: Okay, uh what that's come up on the show before too,

22:40 Speaker 5: but refresh my memory. What is that Cannabis Church of

22:42 Speaker 5: New England.

22:43 Speaker 3: The church doors are open every Saturday, seven o'clock no

22:46 Speaker 3: matter what, and you can you can.

22:49 Speaker 6: Celebrate music all about the musicians. The state is built.

22:55 Speaker 6: We built the venue for the musicians mostly. Yeah, we

22:58 Speaker 6: have we have so much power on the floor and

23:03 Speaker 6: the kick on drum riser that we can plug amps

23:06 Speaker 6: and foot pedals and everything. We don't have to worry

23:08 Speaker 6: about running chords. The stage is on its own one

23:13 Speaker 6: hundred amp service so that it's isolated. Nothing on the

23:17 Speaker 6: stage is unshielded or ungrounded. All our amps have a

23:21 Speaker 6: sister ramp under them, so if we have a problem

23:24 Speaker 6: during the show, Lloyd's slides under switches to the new amp.

23:28 Speaker 6: We're good to go.

23:29 Speaker 5: Okay.

23:30 Speaker 6: It's all designed for the musicians to get the best

23:35 Speaker 6: experience they can get on a stage.

23:37 Speaker 5: Yeah.

23:38 Speaker 6: I love seeing the new kids come. Yeah that first

23:41 Speaker 6: timers when they come off of that stage, they're just

23:45 Speaker 6: high on the feeling of it. Right, And we get

23:48 Speaker 6: a lot of bands while that's say, well, we've never

23:51 Speaker 6: played this song out before, so we're going to try

23:54 Speaker 6: it here. So I hear a lot of first first

23:58 Speaker 6: It's very cool.

23:59 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the other one of my favorite. Really enough

24:03 Speaker 7: to like, you know, we're gonna try it. Hell, you

24:05 Speaker 7: guys want to know the song?

24:07 Speaker 4: Sure?

24:08 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they never asked the sound guy if

24:11 Speaker 7: they got time for one more, because I'm like all night.

24:15 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we don't walk.

24:17 Speaker 4: To the band coming up after you. They might want

24:19 Speaker 4: to go home tonight, right.

24:21 Speaker 6: We don't have to shut down at one o'clock. We're

24:24 Speaker 6: not beholding tenny laws. We don't serve food, we don't.

24:28 Speaker 4: Our Saturday night.

24:29 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, okay, oh yeah, I don't want to go out.

24:33 Speaker 3: We have a few neighbors who don't appreciate out of

24:37 Speaker 3: state license plates parked on the one side of the

24:40 Speaker 3: road safely. Oh really, such things. And so it came

24:44 Speaker 3: up in a meeting, I believe it was last summer.

24:47 Speaker 3: Every once in a while, group of you know, four

24:49 Speaker 3: or five of them will get together and go to

24:50 Speaker 3: the selectmen's meeting and really and raise their complaints. And

24:54 Speaker 3: I try to be concerned, and you know, I mean

24:58 Speaker 3: I do, because they might actually have a legitimate thing,

25:01 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So, yeah, so I try

25:04 Speaker 3: to blow them off, you know, the first couple of times,

25:06 Speaker 3: and then when they get all really hot and bothered,

25:07 Speaker 3: and I'll go to this electiments meeting and we'll discuss it.

25:12 Speaker 5: But what are they what are they complaining? You said?

25:14 Speaker 5: Out of state. We should clarify to where where where

25:17 Speaker 5: is Charlie So exactly Lebanon, Maine, Lebanon, Maine.

25:21 Speaker 3: More Center Road, Lebanon, Maine, not Lebanon, New Hampshire.

25:25 Speaker 5: All right there, Holy crap, so so so in Lebanon, Maine.

25:31 Speaker 5: So you've got neighbors effectively who they don't like out

25:34 Speaker 5: of state plates.

25:35 Speaker 6: They get what they they counted one hundred and sixty

25:39 Speaker 6: cars parked along the side of the road. Yeah, for

25:42 Speaker 6: the New England death metal bonanza. Yeahs came and they were.

25:48 Speaker 3: All reading Island and Texas and Pennsylvania, New York and

25:53 Speaker 3: New Jersey. Yeah.

25:55 Speaker 7: I refused to disclose the exact number of people that

25:59 Speaker 7: may have came to visit us that weekend.

26:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's okay that the voters approved to have a

26:04 Speaker 3: ridiculous amount of uh recreational marijuana retail businesses up and

26:11 Speaker 3: down the road, you know, But we're not going to

26:13 Speaker 3: discuss the ridiculousness of the known as the lawless town

26:17 Speaker 3: of Lebanon because approximately twenty years ago. You can't make

26:21 Speaker 3: this up, honey, Okay, I'm just saying they accidentally voted

26:25 Speaker 3: out their local police departments.

26:29 Speaker 6: Wording is especially Yeah, and.

26:32 Speaker 3: They still twenty years zalor they still can't get like

26:35 Speaker 3: if they put up a new ordinance or something for

26:36 Speaker 3: the for them to vote for the town to vote on. Yeah,

26:39 Speaker 3: they still can't get the wording right. They actually legalized.

26:43 Speaker 3: Oh gosh, this a whole other thing. But they put

26:46 Speaker 3: the fourth to the voters whether or not. Because if

26:48 Speaker 3: you get approve to get approved by the state of

26:50 Speaker 3: Maine to have a regno medical, we're talking the recreational

26:53 Speaker 3: thing now, so you you have to have town approval,

26:57 Speaker 3: and if you don't have town approval, the state won't

27:00 Speaker 3: give you state approval. So in the town of Lebanon,

27:03 Speaker 3: which is one of the reasons I bought the property

27:05 Speaker 3: in Lebanon twenty plus years ago, is there's no zoning,

27:09 Speaker 3: so you can use your acreage residentially, agriculturally, commercially, or

27:13 Speaker 3: a combination of the three. We have no comprehensive plan.

27:17 Speaker 3: We have no zoning because we have no comprehensive plan,

27:19 Speaker 3: we don't have a town schiter. Okay, so it's ridiculous.

27:23 Speaker 3: So they want to make up new rules about no camping,

27:26 Speaker 3: thiss and no freaking parking on the side of the road.

27:28 Speaker 3: And no loud music ever anytime, and you know whatever.

27:36 Speaker 3: But they have no zoning, so they can't even make

27:39 Speaker 3: up these rules like, oh, well, do you vote to

27:41 Speaker 3: let the recreational pot stores be on only two o

27:45 Speaker 3: two and not you know, off of two oh two,

27:47 Speaker 3: and it's like, you can't do that because we have

27:49 Speaker 3: no zoning. They did it anyway, so like they voted

27:52 Speaker 3: on it, yes, we'll let it happen, and then they

27:54 Speaker 3: didn't write it correctly so they couldn't enforce it, so

27:57 Speaker 3: they had to vote on it again. And then the

27:59 Speaker 3: people voted no because it was just a three ring circus,

28:02 Speaker 3: you know, it was ridiculousness. They figured that out, so

28:05 Speaker 3: they vote no. So then they have the third vote.

28:07 Speaker 3: They vote no again, and then this particular select man okay,

28:10 Speaker 3: who loves me, you know, you love me, Chuck okay,

28:14 Speaker 3: and you hate to love me and you love to

28:15 Speaker 3: hate me. Okay, So anyway, but this.

28:18 Speaker 5: Passion one way or another, so he's like, oh, well, authorize.

28:24 Speaker 3: It anyway, and he's like, okay, so we authorises all

28:27 Speaker 3: the recreational stores on the side of two o two,

28:30 Speaker 3: so they're there, you know, and of course anybody in

28:32 Speaker 3: the town of Lebanon can have it because we have

28:34 Speaker 3: no zoning. Yeah, and it's just ridiculous. Yeah, it's insane.

28:39 Speaker 3: So that's all cool, all right, But having one hundred

28:42 Speaker 3: and sixty cars parked safely on only one side of

28:44 Speaker 3: the road and not near intersections and not blocking driveways,

28:47 Speaker 3: and every time they call the police, you know, like

28:50 Speaker 3: the little boy that cried wolf, they waste the sheriff's

28:52 Speaker 3: time when he should be out. You know, he's got

28:55 Speaker 3: to drive all the way out to Lebanon, to the

28:57 Speaker 3: very edge of York County. It's got to cover all

29:00 Speaker 3: York County to come out and say, oh yeah, once again,

29:03 Speaker 3: the cars are all part safely on the side of

29:04 Speaker 3: the road and there's no problems. Yeah, you know what

29:07 Speaker 3: I mean from their perspective, I've been doing this over

29:09 Speaker 3: ten years. We've had no problems. Yeah, you know what

29:12 Speaker 3: I mean, what if we heard out of their mouth? Geez,

29:14 Speaker 3: we wish all the other venues and mud runs and

29:17 Speaker 3: whatever else goes on in York County. You know, had

29:20 Speaker 3: it together enough because you guys give us no trouble.

29:22 Speaker 3: You take care of yourself, and we have no problem

29:25 Speaker 3: except for the Cairns of the neighborhood.

29:27 Speaker 5: So why does it why does the sheriff have to

29:29 Speaker 5: come to that? Is that because there's still no there's

29:31 Speaker 5: no police, no local police. That's incredible.

29:33 Speaker 6: Wow.

29:34 Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a lot of tinety town police department

29:38 Speaker 3: and the budget was X amount of dollars and the

29:41 Speaker 3: police department requested in considerable increase in the budget. So

29:45 Speaker 3: they put it on the next year's vote. You know,

29:48 Speaker 3: do we approve this higher, way higher budget than the

29:51 Speaker 3: one last year? And they didn't say or resort to

29:55 Speaker 3: last year's budget. They like left that part at it.

29:58 Speaker 3: True story, man. So then you vot all these town

30:01 Speaker 3: people that like campaigned against the new budget. They don't

30:05 Speaker 3: need no more money, we don't need no more cruises,

30:07 Speaker 3: you know. And then they voted on it. It's like,

30:10 Speaker 3: don't we vote the budget?

30:11 Speaker 4: No, no, and no.

30:12 Speaker 3: And then they're like, what they didn't mean to vote

30:15 Speaker 3: out their police department. They didn't, Okay, but they did.

30:18 Speaker 3: And then and then once once after that, it was like,

30:22 Speaker 3: so much of your tax money goes to the state

30:25 Speaker 3: police and goes to the sheriff's department. So from a

30:28 Speaker 3: taxpayer's perspective, I already have to pay for two policing agencies.

30:32 Speaker 3: Why do I want to pay for a third one?

30:34 Speaker 3: You know when all they do is go around and

30:36 Speaker 3: pick on the local and question you know, that's the

30:38 Speaker 3: whole other thing. So it puts a bigger straight on

30:40 Speaker 3: the state police in the sheriff's apartment. It's not fair,

30:43 Speaker 3: and it's spent a three ring circus because you know,

30:46 Speaker 3: like at one point in time, it was the Sheriff's

30:48 Speaker 3: department this month, and then the state Police the next month,

30:51 Speaker 3: so their alternate like rival football to communicate commit this

30:58 Speaker 3: crime every other month? Was he saying, you got all

31:02 Speaker 3: this nonsense going on on the thirtieth and the thirty

31:05 Speaker 3: first of the month, and then the next patience he

31:07 Speaker 3: takes over and they have no idea what the other

31:09 Speaker 3: agency was dealing with two days ago.

31:11 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's incredible.

31:15 Speaker 3: You want to know, Okay, So I'm sorry response to Arlie, This.

31:18 Speaker 5: Is very interesting.

31:22 Speaker 7: They haven't learned that people who don't want to be

31:25 Speaker 7: told what to do can't tell people what to do

31:28 Speaker 7: right right.

31:29 Speaker 4: See, if you if you set.

31:30 Speaker 7: Up a town so that nobody can tell me what

31:33 Speaker 7: to do with my property and nobody can interfere with

31:36 Speaker 7: my stuff, Well, when you don't like what your neighbor's doing.

31:39 Speaker 7: Guess what You've got no laws, right, all you got

31:43 Speaker 7: is what the state guidelines are. And when the state

31:45 Speaker 7: says it's legal to park the cars on one side

31:48 Speaker 7: of the road, well, guess what, I don't care if

31:50 Speaker 7: they drove here from Taiwan?

31:52 Speaker 3: Right, Okay, appropriate, All right, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna

31:58 Speaker 3: quote Chuck Russell, Chairman Chuck Russell of the Lenin Select Board.

32:02 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because this is what he said recently this summer. Yeah,

32:07 Speaker 3: the problem is she knows the rules.

32:12 Speaker 4: That's a fact. Yeah.

32:13 Speaker 8: We did use it.

32:14 Speaker 4: We did use it to our advantage.

32:17 Speaker 6: At the New England death Metal Show this year, we

32:19 Speaker 6: had Mortician came out of retirement to play, oh kidding,

32:24 Speaker 6: and we knew it would take him. The neighbors would

32:27 Speaker 6: start complaining exactly at one o'clock, so we noticed and

32:30 Speaker 6: take the sheriff half hour at least to get there.

32:34 Speaker 6: So we let Mortician run and then when the sheriff

32:37 Speaker 6: did come, we turned down front of house and ranted

32:40 Speaker 6: off just the monitors out yeah, outide, everybody got a

32:45 Speaker 6: good dose of death metal, nice right before bed nice.

32:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I understand this. In twenty fourteen before I

32:54 Speaker 3: did this very edgy, controversial celebrating legalization of medicinal marijuana thing. Yes,

33:00 Speaker 3: I did my homework first, and I don't like to

33:02 Speaker 3: do homework. I don't like to study, but I can

33:04 Speaker 3: if I want to. So I researched every statute, every law,

33:08 Speaker 3: every rule that anybody could possibly apply to my three

33:11 Speaker 3: day camping weekend event. Smart So when they came at me,

33:15 Speaker 3: I was like, well, actually, officer, the statute says blah

33:19 Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah, and they don't know what to

33:21 Speaker 3: say because they don't know what it says.

33:24 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly, And so I know the rules.

33:28 Speaker 3: And that is the thing is when they try to

33:30 Speaker 3: like throw something at me, I'm like, well, the rule

33:33 Speaker 3: is this, and I will go right to the edge

33:37 Speaker 3: of the rule and stay on the legal side of it.

33:40 Speaker 3: But I was standing there with my tippytoes and go

33:42 Speaker 3: and here I am on the edge of the rules.

33:45 Speaker 3: And because this is the United States of America, it's

33:47 Speaker 3: a free country and freedom of speech. And so back

33:52 Speaker 3: to the meeting. I was telling you about one of

33:54 Speaker 3: the ladies down the road. She goes, well, I see

33:56 Speaker 3: the burner and they're building out there. This is some

33:58 Speaker 3: sort of kind of church, Cannabis Church of New England,

34:02 Speaker 3: and are they actually church? Do they pay taxes? And

34:06 Speaker 3: so that was it.

34:10 Speaker 2: Because when we named it Cannabis.

34:12 Speaker 3: Church in New England, many many, many many years ago,

34:14 Speaker 3: I looked into registering the church with the state of Maine.

34:17 Speaker 3: You pay five dollars to reserve the name and then

34:20 Speaker 3: you get yourself a nonprofit EI N number. Right, so

34:25 Speaker 3: you give me a nonprofit. Well, my experience, what I've

34:27 Speaker 3: learned about nonprofits is kind of hird. A lot of

34:30 Speaker 3: money behind nonprofits. So I didn't want everybody going, oh,

34:34 Speaker 3: it was making all kinds of money over there. That's

34:36 Speaker 3: why she saw. I was like, no mallsat pay the

34:39 Speaker 3: five dollars registered the name. That's the end of it.

34:41 Speaker 3: So when I went to the meeting again at the

34:43 Speaker 3: end of the summer, I thank the lady and I said,

34:46 Speaker 3: thank you for reminding me about the church thing. I

34:48 Speaker 3: now have a federal E A N, I have an

34:49 Speaker 3: e I N number. I'm a registered church. So now

34:53 Speaker 3: I'm not going to pay property taxes and we're not

34:56 Speaker 3: going to pay sales tax on anything we buy for

34:58 Speaker 3: the church, and thank you for that, you know what

35:00 Speaker 3: I mean. And so she's like, oh, you know, and yeah,

35:06 Speaker 3: piece in law and that's fantastic. We don't hurt anybody,

35:10 Speaker 3: we have We have no accidents. Speaking of which, one

35:15 Speaker 3: of the reasons that Mike's become the face of Charlie

35:18 Speaker 3: So is because of his greeting magic.

35:24 Speaker 8: Yeah.

35:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, explain driveway, Yeah, explain the driveway thing, please, gras.

35:31 Speaker 6: Right, parking is an issue. Yeah, And I like to

35:35 Speaker 6: meet everybody in the driveways. I have a system to

35:39 Speaker 6: park bands and and and people for the show. But

35:43 Speaker 6: I always ask them if they've ever been at the

35:46 Speaker 6: hill before, Okay.

35:47 Speaker 3: As soon as they pull on the driveway, they.

35:49 Speaker 6: Always ask if they're first time is and I tell

35:52 Speaker 6: them I have some simple rules. The simple rules are,

35:56 Speaker 6: it's the cannabis church, eat drinks, Smoke all the weed

35:59 Speaker 6: you want. I encourage it. If you drink, don't drive

36:02 Speaker 6: out of here with a buzz either, the Sheriff of

36:05 Speaker 6: the Deer are going to get you. But the one

36:07 Speaker 6: thing I cannot and will not have is hard drugs.

36:10 Speaker 6: We can't have that kind of stuff going on. I

36:13 Speaker 6: can't have people o ding into Porta parties and right

36:17 Speaker 6: that's the end of that. I just and and believe

36:20 Speaker 6: it or not, A lot of people are relieved when

36:22 Speaker 6: they hear that because they know they don't have to

36:24 Speaker 6: worry now, right. And the people who come a lot,

36:28 Speaker 6: they keep an eye out as well. So if there's

36:31 Speaker 6: not a lot that goes on that we don't see,

36:33 Speaker 6: you know, it's we police ourselves.

36:37 Speaker 5: Yeah.

36:37 Speaker 6: I get a lot of people with a lot of

36:39 Speaker 6: eyes that watch.

36:40 Speaker 5: Yeah.

36:41 Speaker 6: We got regulars that come all the time.

36:43 Speaker 4: Yeah.

36:44 Speaker 5: I was gonna say, yeah, you must have a lot

36:45 Speaker 5: of regulars.

36:46 Speaker 6: Well it's the.

36:47 Speaker 5: Church, so yeah.

36:48 Speaker 7: Yeah, we have a group of locals that come all

36:51 Speaker 7: the time. Yeah, almost every Saturday night. Yeah, they watch

36:57 Speaker 7: out for us.

36:58 Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go.

37:00 Speaker 4: It's their place to go to see music, right right.

37:02 Speaker 5: Yeah, so that makes sense.

37:03 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's kind of our We call it the band cave,

37:08 Speaker 7: but it's basically a big giant man cave.

37:11 Speaker 6: Yeah that's great. Yeah, it's great. We have we have

37:15 Speaker 6: the secret weapon. That's Lloyd on the soundboard. Yeah, he's

37:19 Speaker 6: our secret weapon.

37:20 Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know about that.

37:21 Speaker 6: Yeah, we just we just got a new donation.

37:25 Speaker 7: They called me a secret weapon. It's kind of funny.

37:29 Speaker 7: I really never went to school for any of this crap. Yeah,

37:34 Speaker 7: I just started building stereos.

37:37 Speaker 3: When you took your first speaker apart, Lloyd.

37:40 Speaker 4: Uh, probably seven?

37:43 Speaker 7: Wow, Yeah, I've been I've always been building cabinets and speakers,

37:48 Speaker 7: and you know on that end of it, the engineering

37:52 Speaker 7: end of the building stuff.

37:53 Speaker 8: You know.

37:53 Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh.

37:55 Speaker 4: I had a lot of friends in bands and they

37:58 Speaker 4: can never seem to get the sound right.

38:01 Speaker 5: Yeah.

38:01 Speaker 4: And you know, again a lot of it's just hands

38:06 Speaker 4: on by a compressor because of what it does.

38:11 Speaker 7: You read the book, you wire it in and you

38:15 Speaker 7: use it. You know, I need to go to school

38:18 Speaker 7: to take the tips from the book right right and

38:23 Speaker 7: apply them.

38:23 Speaker 5: Yeah you know.

38:25 Speaker 7: Yeah, at seven years old, I had a twenty band

38:29 Speaker 7: equalizer and a component system with wow no kttle.

38:34 Speaker 5: Oh yeah.

38:35 Speaker 7: My parents weren't scared for me to be playing with

38:38 Speaker 7: you know. Yeah, yeah, I mean electronics.

38:41 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know yeah.

38:43 Speaker 4: Radio shack, Yeah, radio shack.

38:46 Speaker 5: That was my favorite story.

38:47 Speaker 4: It wasn't.

38:51 Speaker 3: Build a barricade behind the control booth and you want

38:56 Speaker 3: to talk to nobody. He don't want to see nobody really, Yeah,

38:59 Speaker 3: I just want to do the sound that it was

39:01 Speaker 3: the socialize there to make crowd guy, very serious about

39:05 Speaker 3: the sound thing. So I have him here on your show. Yeah,

39:11 Speaker 3: he's act found out people aren't so bad.

39:14 Speaker 5: Now that's good. That's good. Well, I'm very glad. I'm

39:18 Speaker 5: very glad. What's the what's the what's the most challenging

39:23 Speaker 5: show that you've that you've done there, maybe in terms

39:26 Speaker 5: of logistics or running sound or like.

39:28 Speaker 3: I don't I think that that's an unfair question, Matt.

39:30 Speaker 3: I feel that you've assaulted me with a trick question

39:35 Speaker 3: because you can't judge one person's show by another, you

39:42 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, because they're all they're all great shows.

39:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, forty three bands in three days?

39:48 Speaker 8: Was that?

39:49 Speaker 5: Was that? The death metal festival?

39:51 Speaker 7: It was?

39:52 Speaker 5: Yeah?

39:53 Speaker 7: One band dropped out. Yeah, and they were from all

39:56 Speaker 7: around the country, around the world.

39:58 Speaker 3: That's that's the one. The neighbors get there, and he's

40:00 Speaker 3: the biggest twisted about Yeah, the New England death Metal

40:03 Speaker 3: fun Time Bonanza.

40:06 Speaker 5: I love the way.

40:11 Speaker 3: Eric is a young guy out of the New York

40:14 Speaker 3: City area and they all went to you know, they

40:17 Speaker 3: all went to school. He's incredible, absolutely incredible young man.

40:22 Speaker 3: A band by the name of Bonginator and Bonginator showed

40:25 Speaker 3: up with somebody else. They did a show, then they

40:27 Speaker 3: put on another show. They put on a couple of shows,

40:30 Speaker 3: and he did this. He didn't call it that, I

40:33 Speaker 3: don't think in the beginning, but he did this annual

40:37 Speaker 3: thing a couple of times somewhere else and then there

40:40 Speaker 3: was a last minute glitch with the location and their

40:43 Speaker 3: local Karen's, and he kind of hit me up and

40:47 Speaker 3: he's like, hey, tymy, I got this three day weekend

40:49 Speaker 3: thing and like we got bounced that whatever supposed to

40:51 Speaker 3: do it. What do you think? And I'm like, all right,

40:53 Speaker 3: bring it, you know, because we're there for the bands. Yeah,

40:58 Speaker 3: and you know, we've there's been a couple of times

41:00 Speaker 3: that weekend events were last minute canceled and it was

41:05 Speaker 3: a shame somebody didn't hit us up because we weren't

41:07 Speaker 3: doing anything that weekend and we would have happily shared

41:09 Speaker 3: our dirt.

41:10 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know.

41:11 Speaker 4: Yeah.

41:12 Speaker 3: But yeah, so he's made it bigger and better every year.

41:15 Speaker 5: Wow.

41:15 Speaker 3: And you know it's nothing we like to admit to,

41:18 Speaker 3: but there was probably like three thousand people there this

41:21 Speaker 3: week just this year. Wow.

41:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, we can't we think about.

41:27 Speaker 3: Accounted accounted, what was it, one hundred and one hundred

41:30 Speaker 3: and something tents in the backside and sixty tents on

41:34 Speaker 3: the front.

41:34 Speaker 6: Side, just like mentions tent I was straight up that

41:38 Speaker 6: was oh wow, and not not counting car campers yet he.

41:43 Speaker 3: Had a guy count from Australia to bob Log. Yeah, oh,

41:47 Speaker 3: bob Blog was something else. Let me tell you it

41:49 Speaker 3: was great. He said he'd come from Australia again to

41:51 Speaker 3: play there. Wow on the outside stage.

41:54 Speaker 5: So that must have been the most challenging, right, I mean,

41:56 Speaker 5: that's a lot to handle.

41:58 Speaker 7: That's that's the funny thing, you know. I used to

42:02 Speaker 7: I started with Terry and I took off and did

42:04 Speaker 7: a little bit of traveling. Yeah, a little bit to

42:07 Speaker 7: the festival, you know. And they wanted me because I

42:11 Speaker 7: have I run the Wall of Sound. So yeah, you

42:14 Speaker 7: ain't gonna find one of those anywhere anymore. I got

42:17 Speaker 7: one except ah my guys don't want to move it anymore.

42:20 Speaker 5: Yeah.

42:21 Speaker 7: But what I'll say is, out of all the festivals

42:26 Speaker 7: that I've done, the people that came to the Death

42:29 Speaker 7: Metal Festival were the most polite, the most controlled, I believe,

42:35 Speaker 7: and the cleanest people I've ever had. I'm serious, gone

42:42 Speaker 7: a grateful dead festival.

42:45 Speaker 3: Ground and that I agree with the most respectable group

42:49 Speaker 3: of people when you have the biggest head count at

42:52 Speaker 3: an event and everybody is respectful and we actually have

42:57 Speaker 3: a loss and found instead of ground scores. You know,

43:00 Speaker 3: it's kind of an unspoken rule there too, the little

43:02 Speaker 3: ground score. No, there's no such as a ground score.

43:05 Speaker 3: It's called lost and found.

43:07 Speaker 4: Yeah, look I found. Yeah, why don't you put it

43:11 Speaker 4: in the box over here?

43:12 Speaker 6: Yeah.

43:12 Speaker 3: We lot people leave like five thousand dollars set of symbols, okay,

43:16 Speaker 3: all backaged up, and then they'll call me, you know,

43:18 Speaker 3: they'll hit us up five six days later they're like, oh,

43:22 Speaker 3: I'm ja lost her. Yeah, your stuff's still right here.

43:25 Speaker 3: And that's one of the I think that's one of

43:27 Speaker 3: the reasons Charlie still gets to love is because, yeah,

43:30 Speaker 3: if you leave it there, it'll still be there.

43:32 Speaker 5: Right, that's really cool.

43:33 Speaker 3: Yeah. Rarely do we have stuff disappear. Yeah, honestly, gods,

43:37 Speaker 3: you know what disappears? What super little two dollars trinkets?

43:41 Speaker 3: And my dogs get fresh dog blankets. Yeah, and I

43:44 Speaker 3: get them from the Salvation Army. Okay, so I'll go

43:47 Speaker 3: in and there'll be these beautiful Afghans that somebody hand

43:49 Speaker 3: knit it or crocheted, and they're like three bucks, four bucks.

43:53 Speaker 3: So I buy them and I bring them out to

43:55 Speaker 3: the venue and throw them on the couches in the chairs.

43:58 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, and the respliners.

44:00 Speaker 3: That's what disappears. Man, is my afan?

44:04 Speaker 4: Somebody look just like old aunt.

44:08 Speaker 3: I'm a Zaffian, doesn't it or sole and souls? And

44:11 Speaker 3: so they take it home and fine that you know.

44:13 Speaker 5: What, you know, it's gonna.

44:17 Speaker 3: Still be there, go figure out.

44:18 Speaker 5: Yeah.

44:19 Speaker 6: Late lately we've been, uh, we've been getting people that

44:22 Speaker 6: bring things in and hide them amongst the other stuff, okay,

44:27 Speaker 6: just to see if it will be there the next

44:29 Speaker 6: time they come back. Yeah, I've been noticing I find

44:32 Speaker 6: little little things that I didn't know we're here. Yeah,

44:34 Speaker 6: because even though it's full of stuff, you know, you're

44:38 Speaker 6: there all the time. You know what's what and what

44:41 Speaker 6: belongs where. Yeah, and we're reaching the point where our

44:45 Speaker 6: ceilings probably won't hold very many more shirts.

44:48 Speaker 5: Oh no kidding.

44:49 Speaker 3: Colection A T shirts hanging from the ceiling from all

44:52 Speaker 3: the bands there.

44:53 Speaker 5: That's cool. That's something I've never seen too. That that's

44:56 Speaker 5: I meant to do it.

44:57 Speaker 4: Like the Boston Garden.

44:58 Speaker 5: You know, yeah, that's that's a great concept. I've never

45:01 Speaker 5: seen that t shirts hanging in a venue like that,

45:03 Speaker 5: that's a great idea.

45:05 Speaker 6: Yeah.

45:06 Speaker 3: Somebody asked why why you get all the tapestries and

45:10 Speaker 3: stuff the fit Charlie Hill Museum and Events venue. So

45:15 Speaker 3: people like, why is this a museum that's kind of weird?

45:17 Speaker 3: And as soon as they walk in the door and

45:20 Speaker 3: they see like all this stuff, they're like, oh, yeah, m.

45:24 Speaker 5: That's a great idea. That's a really great idea.

45:26 Speaker 8: Yeah.

45:26 Speaker 3: But when you have a building that's fifty one and

45:29 Speaker 3: twenty five feet and it's all moisture, mildew, fire commercial

45:34 Speaker 3: fireboard and everything, yep, I'm sorry. Now, Lloyd don't take

45:38 Speaker 3: his soul to this because he's a painter. He paints.

45:40 Speaker 3: He doesn't like money taping. He's a professional, very professional painter.

45:44 Speaker 6: Want to the.

45:47 Speaker 3: Okay, on a ceiling that's not perfect, make it sound

45:50 Speaker 3: he's a professionist. Yeah, So I'm looking at the ceiling.

45:53 Speaker 3: It's like yuck, you know what I mean? Seriously, because

45:57 Speaker 3: it was a garage. The other end of the building

45:59 Speaker 3: is a garage. Automotive business was there. Okay, So I

46:02 Speaker 3: mean put all the rock up all the way down,

46:04 Speaker 3: so what's far from perfect?

46:06 Speaker 5: Yeah?

46:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, So how do you take care of all those?

46:09 Speaker 3: You know, no matter what you do is always going

46:11 Speaker 3: to be imperfect. So that's where I started putting up

46:14 Speaker 3: the tapestries and all the stuff on the ceiling. Is

46:16 Speaker 3: to hide the imperfections with other imperfections. And then the

46:20 Speaker 3: t shirts and it baffles you know, it kind of

46:23 Speaker 3: keeps us down and.

46:25 Speaker 4: Yeah, keeps my face cancelation down.

46:27 Speaker 3: Yeah.

46:29 Speaker 4: That in an active crossover.

46:31 Speaker 5: So tonight I was going to ask you what do

46:34 Speaker 5: you have? What do you have? Tonight?

46:35 Speaker 3: We got we have Every show is great, no show

46:38 Speaker 3: is better, worse than any show.

46:40 Speaker 4: We got some local boys.

46:41 Speaker 3: We got the local Boys out of Man excellent. So

46:45 Speaker 3: we got Down Boys. Down Boys is one of the

46:47 Speaker 3: newest up and coming bands. Okay, very very good bunch

46:51 Speaker 3: of people.

46:52 Speaker 5: They were here last week the show. Yeah, and then

46:57 Speaker 5: and then we got.

46:58 Speaker 3: Day to A ten. Yeah, so we get data attend

47:01 Speaker 3: and Down Boys tonight and Day to attend. We had

47:04 Speaker 3: the pleasure of going to the Aura in Portland. Oh

47:07 Speaker 3: they opened for Ace Freeley.

47:09 Speaker 5: Remember that show.

47:10 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And so we got to go in you know,

47:13 Speaker 3: on the coat tails of Jeff and Day to ten

47:17 Speaker 3: and enjoy the ace freely show and check out the Aura.

47:20 Speaker 3: So that was a great experience. Made friends with their

47:23 Speaker 3: security crew up there, Taylor's security, I believe it was.

47:28 Speaker 5: Yeah, excellent, excellent. So that's so that's tonight. So day

47:32 Speaker 5: to Attendant down, boys, anybody else, just the two or two,

47:35 Speaker 5: just the two, excellent two.

47:36 Speaker 6: It's going to be a nice night.

47:37 Speaker 3: I think there's a surprise sometimes when we just have

47:39 Speaker 3: two bands. It's kind of nice, yeah, because a lot

47:45 Speaker 3: of them have quite a repert for our songs. Oh yeah,

47:47 Speaker 3: but when you do one set, they never get the

47:50 Speaker 3: chance to play all the songs, right, So when you

47:53 Speaker 3: only have two bands, they'll do like a set and

47:56 Speaker 3: then they'll take a break, and then they'll go up

47:58 Speaker 3: and do all those other songs they never have a

47:59 Speaker 3: chance to do, right Yeah. Yeah, and then break down

48:03 Speaker 3: and then the other band will go up.

48:04 Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, that's very cool. That's very cool.

48:07 Speaker 6: We don't rush people on and off the stage, there's

48:09 Speaker 6: no need to. Yeah, we're not beholding any curfews.

48:13 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's excellent.

48:14 Speaker 6: Noteet Janet Mills did send her troopers down during COVID.

48:19 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we were doing a metal show. We had

48:22 Speaker 6: around one hundred and fifty people. Yeah, and she sent

48:24 Speaker 6: a letter from her desk oh in that we were

48:27 Speaker 6: breaking COVID restrictions. Oh okay, we should see some desists, right,

48:32 Speaker 6: and we didn't.

48:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, we just went on with it, right right.

48:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was That was one of those nights where

48:38 Speaker 3: we felt really bad for the state police because they

48:40 Speaker 3: never never come yeah in the wintertime, you know. Yeah,

48:45 Speaker 3: and they're like, Terry, We're really sorry, but we came

48:48 Speaker 3: here first because we knew that you would be the

48:50 Speaker 3: most understanding.

48:51 Speaker 5: Yeah.

48:52 Speaker 3: Gena Mills gave us a hole list of businesses that

48:55 Speaker 3: we have to go pull licenses from. We all know

48:58 Speaker 3: that you don't care about your temporary event. It's campgrown

49:01 Speaker 3: camping license in February. But yeah, they had to go

49:05 Speaker 3: pull a bunch of restaurants and bars and taverns because

49:08 Speaker 3: they were still leaving their doors open when it was ordered.

49:10 Speaker 4: That it was.

49:11 Speaker 3: It was sad, you know, felt bad for that whole situation.

49:16 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.

49:17 Speaker 3: But sometimes, as Jeff Day would tend, you got a fight,

49:22 Speaker 3: you're right to party.

49:25 Speaker 6: The Beastie Boys were profitts well.

49:27 Speaker 5: We are so before we run out of time? So

49:30 Speaker 5: where should people go online to keep up with everything
