4/5 - Norwalk Moose Lodge

Don't you think that a moose lodge should have moose tracks ice cream? Yeah, I do too.

We had a grand stage to play on. I think that Mudcat and C-Man might have been in different zip codes. Okay, fine then - it really wasn't that big. It was carpeted, but there was something questionable on the carpet right in front of me (it was like that when I got there) and of course I had to keep looking at it. It never went away nor did it get less questionable.

Very interesting people at this lodge-o-moose. Fast Freddy sang "house of the rising sun" and then Tim got on stage and "played" the air guitar while "singing". He and one of his buddies even had an air guitar contest during one of the songs.

One guy came up to the stage while I was singing "what's love got to do with it" and I honestly thought that he was coming up there to make me stop, which I almost did. I realized that wasn't the case when he started dancing. Alone. But that's okay, he was enjoying himself and I didn't have to stop singing. We had a couple of other dancers throughout the evening, but they let this guy fend for himself.

Another guy came up to us during one of the breaks and told me that my tambourine and maraca playing reminded him of The Monkeys, but I had to question if he actually meant the musical group or the zoological group. When he said like Davie Jones, I felt better.

It was a pretty good gig. We all meshed together really well (this place must have had good electricity).

We did play a wee game of hide-and-seek at one point, but that's okay. Everybody wins.
