8/10 - The Driftwood

Perfect night for being outside, especially compared to the last time we played there. We got to see the sunset, which Mud got some pictures of, and we had a perfect view of the lake (until it got dark). Life is good!

Searched for beach glass during one of the breaks and didn't find any. I thought that there would have been a ton of it out there, but no.

We had a guest percussionist/dancer. Her name is Clarissa Lynne and she's a whopping 2 years old. What a little cutie! She gathered up an armload of twigs and branches and used a couple of the larger ones as her drum sticks.

The table that was close to where we set up shop for the night was all feng shuied out with stones, which I took as a really good sign.

Barbara Jo and William E. came out to see us. That made me pretty happy. Probably won't see them again until Christmas time. You'd think we live at opposite ends of the earth.

Paul and Little B. came out too! Poor Brenda, with her asthma - during one of the songs, she ended up having to find a place to sit that wasn't downwind of the cigarette smoke and moved to 3 different spots until she finally found a place to breath. Paul said that she was trying to make it look like there were more people out there.

The inside was pretty hoppin', which didn't make any sense because there was no air conditioning in there and it was such a beautiful night to be outside, not to mention the whole lake view / sunset thing goin' on that they missed out on. But more importantly, they missed out on the Mojo. It's a project, you know.

The bugs liked us. As soon as we coated ourselves in Off , the bugs came around in full force. Maybe they took it as a challenge, I don't know. But, the funny thing was that C-Man didn't use any and he seemed to be bug free.

At one point, Mud had his own Discovery Channel thing goin' on with a bug that decided to hang out on his mic during one of his songs. Thankfully, he looked away in time so that his cross-eyed condition isn't permanent.

I got my taste of a bug when it flew into my mouth while I was singing. Yummy. Now I understand why those people who eat bugs coat them in chocolate.
