Skiffle Minstrels t-shirts are just about here! At long last, our fans will not have to wander around naked (not that we’re complaining or expecting it to end completely). Starting later this week, you’ll be able to pick up mens’ and womens’ shirts (no, we didn’t forget you ladies) at all of our shows. We suggest waiting until the set break; at that point, you’ll already have spilled beer on the shirt you arrived in and need some fresh duds anyway.

The Skiffle Minstrels are damn proud to be playing the Dam Show this year. It promises to be a weekend of great music, spectacular lights, and festivities for all ages.

To check out the line-up, click on the poster … it’ll take you to the show’s web site.

Naturally, we think a great reason to attend NYS Assemblyman Sam’s Hoyt’s Annual Clam Bake is live music from the Skiffle Minstrels–but here are a few additional motivators suggested by the organizers:

*** THE TOP TEN REASONS TO BEAM UP
TO SAM HOYT’S CLAM TREK 2009 ***

1. We’ll beam you to your house for an additional $20.
2. The person who eats the most clams gets to name Maria Whyte’s baby.
3. This year’s new menu item: Rotisserie Pigeon
4. County Executive Collins will be on hand to ensure Six Sigma practices in the pouring of the beer.
5. Be there to sign the petition calling for Tom Golisano to take Steve Pigeon to Florida with him.
6. Clayton’s going to college. And while that’s not funny, it does make us all feel old.
7. The first 50 guests get a patch of wheat grass, a seed packet, and a baby chick to start their own urban farm.
8. Since everybody Sam knows will be there, we can see what he looks like when he’s not texting on his Blackberry.
9. TO will be there to explain why Byron Brown gave him a key to the City
before he actually did anything for the City.
10. Ceremonal gay marriages performed this year, actual gay marriages next year!
