Yeah I know I stopped posting videos of the day and all that funny shit because I had tons of complaints saying people only wanted ‘NH stuff’….. well just so you know im doing that… im working on updating the pages of every band we list and hope to add a few more soon. But I need to take a second out of all the Showcase promo im doing and this online poker im playing and to let everyone that has been under a rock for the last few months in on the latest fad, icing….
Icing is the act of handing your buddy a warm Shmirnoff Ice, which as a bro, he is obligated to chug. Really… it has been sweeping the nation. Anyways, I was alerted of this video of a guy getting iced by his “bros” on his wedding day. Enjoy.
If anyone really does this send in a video. Or just come and do it to someone at the Showcase on the 6th…

As of yesterday people can tweet to @WhatsUpInNH to submit tweets to show up on the site. This will also allow the many businesses and organizations and bands that have helped the site get to where we are to easily post content (in a non spammy way).
Basically it will keep the content fresher.
Also im working on finishing up the dining and drinking sections… these are HUGE tasks but hopefully I can get most of it done by the showcase.
The forefathers of “crunchy western” music Jim McHugh, Morris Manning, Steve McBrian, and Jacob Stern deliver a homegrown, crunchy cookin’ performance with mandolin, bass, fiddle, guitar, dobro, banjo, and vocals. Their unique, smooth sounds are sure to tame the wildest beast or maybe even awaken the spirit within! Performances include original, crunchy, bluegrass, folk, and americana tunes.
150 people were stung by a Jellyfish at Rye Beach on Wednesday. Doug Gorout, chief of fisheries for the state identified it as a Lion’s Mane Jellyfish. Apparantly that species rarely swims this far south.
This particular Jellyfish weighed 45-50 pounds and its longest tentacle was 13 feet. It caused a lot of itching, burning, and many people were treated with vinegar. Several others were transferred to the hospital.
The cool thing about this story is that a single lifeguard swam out on a board 100 yards off shore with a pitchfork and killed it. By the way… this picture is not of the actual Jellyfish. Check WMUR if you want that
If you don’t stop to witness the impressive displays that mother nature has to offer, then you miss out on far too much. Tonight I was in Portsmouth, sitting out on the docks of the river as an awesome thunderstorm rolled by. Before it actually rained, I watched lightning bolts that spread across the entirety of the sky, blanketing the darkened heavens in a spiderweb of natural electricity.
Then it poured.
I watched buckets upon buckets of water pelt the river from the cover of a nearby building. The rain made it difficult to see the Maine shoreline..
Then it stopped.
It even cleared up for a bit over Portsmouth. I could still hear thunder and see the lightning flash, but the sky was clear enough overhead to let the stars shine through.

Under new state law, teachers are able to once again beat unruly students. Under RSA 982:09, teachers may utilize their hands and body for disciplinary actions. The use of rulers, pointers, etc. is strictly prohibited, due to the excess damage that could be done.
Well, I made that up. But there are new laws about bullying.. Now, a single act can be defined as bullying. They also address cyber bullying and bullying outside of the school zone.
I have mixed feelings about this. While I feel terrible for everybody who gets bullied, it’s a part of growing up. I got bullied. A lot of my friends got bullied. In my opinion, it taught me how to deal with rude, obnoxious, and annoying people in the long run. That’s a good talent.
But then again, I do read the stories where bullying gets too extreme. Kids stay home from school, kids are emotionally and physically hurt, and some other, more extreme cases..
I just hope this doesn’t get out of hand. There needs to be a balance of discipline and freedom. Too much of either can make for a bad situation.
