YAY! ITS FINALLY LISTED WHOOHOO!!!!!

Didn't make it to the show, between how I was feeling today, and the unknowns of the grandstand seating I stayed home. But I promise I will see all of you tomorrow in ft wayne.

Aw, sorry you didn't make it to that show, IMJ.  
But we will see you tonight for sure!

Damn! And I was sure that I thought I saw you!!!!! You have a doppelgänger!

Okay. Show review: Note: I am on the road, being a co-pilot and I cannot be derelict in my duty as my driver tends to get distracted...First of all, when we got there, we were told to park on the speedway (HUH? Before we did Mr. TDW did a few fast laps), then we were directed to Barn #3! Say what???? And they were'nt kidding. Dirt floors for animals (auctions and shows), fences and pens and yes, a stage with a barricade but we were very close. So, now more flashes from the overloaded memory banks...images of Spaz with his back to the audience, toes at the edge of his platform, hands up in the air, windmilling and pretending that he was falling backwards. OMG. I thought he was! One of Eddie's drums came off the kit and rolled off the riser...Super Dave was there for the save. Midnight's flute managed to stay on top of the speaker system despite the wobbling it did after first being placed there...A string broke on Cass' guitar with a big "SPROING" toward the end of the show: he grabbed that sucker with both hands and tried to wrestle it down with little success at first...yes, Midnight has refined a new skill...called The Midnight Cowbelt...not to be confused with a movie with a similar title and you know what I am talking about!

No Ra last night, we had Highlander and Flu on sax, Mr. The Pole, and the usual suspects. Midnight also did some beat boxing on the flute...Set list? My Party, Single etc, VIP, Hard at Work, Single Entendre, Platinum, Fenk Shui, Ra-Ra-Ra, Pants, Bump, Kinda Kinda Lingers, Peccadillo, Booty...and I am gonna need help with the rest of it.

Great show as always. Met people (again) from years before who remembered me (unofficial Mummy ambassador). This would include Marty and his wife Debbie (they were at Firekeeper's last year and Detoit), Bob (friend of Marty's), Heather and Jeff (met them in Grand Rapids and Detroit before), saw Sam Hill and Brenda, Rick and Cathy Sanderson, and some new virgins!!! Phunky discovered the beer table and we never saw him again!!! But he reports that the beer ladies were having a good time...he accused them of sampling the products too liberally...

Good stuff, Be. Thanks
Those guys never cease to amaze with their hijinks(?) and professionalism even when things don't always go as planned.
