Hoy Hoy!! Greetings from Casa Dos Gatos!
“The most beautiful melody is truth”
-Brad P.
Dr. Sanders I presume. A real gem from Mr. Pence, one of many. The latest in our “Great Quotes From South Marion” series. If I recall correctly, we were discussing Foghat.
A miracle of modern technology in this week’s CrabLine. Some of the links contain actual footage of Wednesday night’s festivities. Although, the combination of a low-lit bar and an inexpensive camera made for some dark video. I think it still works. It sounds like Crab Racing and if you close your eyes, you can practically smell the Crab pee.
I found a weird thing the other night. Beck did a live set from a radio station in LA a while back (some morning show) and instead of using their instruments, they brought stuff. One guy was playing a dish with a knife and a fork. There was a crate, a sushi table, bongos, a Nerf ball taped to a stick, and some kind of toy piano. It kills. I know some of his early work doesn’t trip your trigger, but this guy could make falling down a flight of stairs sound funky.
It was kind of weird, MIA were Jim, Brenda, Holly, Carl (Carl’s still on call), Clyde, Judy, Matt, and Rob. Nonetheless, we had twelve on race row. Several people we haven’t seen since back in the summer were there. Dustin and Michelle, Abbey was back with The Biscuit, and Jamie was back. They joined eight others on race row. Facial Shot had four or five at their table, several in the Skyboxes, and five or six at the far window table. Cinematography by Steve, Rick had the bar, Nelia in the kitchen, Rhonda on the floor, and me? I’m almost certain that this is what happened. Almost.

That race 9, 10, 11 thing was weird. They must have liked the pep talk at halftime. Overall a pretty good evening. The regulars were missing, and the Racers that were there were a mix of Newbies and people who hadn’t been around in a while (outside of FSR) so the laughs were good.
Sorry this was delayed. Busy days at the Compound. Thursday night was month end, and Friday, Martha and I worked at the concession stands at the Giants game. Between that and the fact that I kinda have never done any video editing or uploading, this one’s been slow coming to an end.
Crabs are running every Wednesday in December. I assume it won’t be long until the Chainsaw Sisters return. Let me know when you get back and we’ll do something.
In the words of Madeline Kahn– “If it’s Wednesday, it’s wacing”.
Ciao for nao
