Even with no Oven Mitts, we managed to not only survive but thrive at HPVIII (for this to make any sense, you might well have to have been there), playing a set after being sweetly set up by rising uke superstar Rian O’Hara, hobnobbing with Dennis from the Ging Gang and Anton from Chervona for the benefit of the Accordion Noir radio show.
But having settled all those extraordinary transportation and sleeping arrangements, we’re back here in time and blasting the word out to you lucky folks that in a few scant hours (doors at 7:30), a rump Creaking Planks will be featuring again at Rick Keating’s open mic at the Little Mountain Neighborhood House (3981 Main Street at 24th Ave.) Stay posted for further details about our k-razy slate of Hallowe’en shows!

In The House, which is trying on squeezeboxes as a theme for one of their monthly house concerts (perhaps as practice for their annual festival?), has engaged the services of the Creaking Planks to close a line-up highlighting the diversity of the free-reed aerophones known as accordions. Joining us on the bill are a Serbian Trio of kolo proportions and Marian Rose. The house in question this time around can be located at 2186 E. Pender St, with doors at 6:15 pm and the show starting at 7:00 pm. Tickets: $18 adults / $13.00 kids … purchasable online in advance.

The annual Drift Main Street artwalk has come upon us and with it, a good excuse for visiting our old haunt the Little Mountain Gallery (195 E. 26th, formerly Little Mountain Studios) to play an afterparty of sorts. And who better to play with than our cronies in Mezamazing, last seen provoking a police visit at the Accordion Noir Festival launch party? Where everything is forbidden, everything must be permitted. Joining us, when he is not up the street at Cafe Montmartre, will be LMG honcho Ehren Salazar. The show is likely to run from 8-11 pm ish.
