Tis the season!

I've been busy with TLO happenings. I'll hosted the 14th annual TLO Holiday Fan Fair at the Lewiston Roller-dome this coming Saturday and Sunday. Always held the weekend before Christmas, all the true TLO fans are there with thier crafts, TLO wares and most important recordings of the live TLO shows.

Recording of The Loco Ono can be hard to come by and my personal passion. I have a library stocked with years of live shows by TLO. I do own their studio albums of course...but to see and hear them LIVE is where it is at. The show they put on is beyond amazing with dozens of people on stage, it is something to see. I have video, but with the pirotechnices, lights and projections it is hard to really make out what is happening through a camera's eye...but the sound is always true even on a cell phone recording. My collection spans from tapes to cds - all labeled with the date and location of the proformances Since TLO is so hard to come by to begin with a show recording is very rare...that is why I have my recorder with me at all times. Of course that is a basic TLO fan rule.

The TLO Holiday Fan Fair has been featured in the Portland Phoenix three years running. I'm sure the area's fans will be there again this year, it is always great and only $8 to get in. All the info as always is found as always in the Phenix, Androscoggin News, Portland News and with posters in the regular spots.
