Chimichaunga Cheesy Burrito!
So here it is. The technical, if not climatological start to the summer season. Chainsaw Sisters heads to the Summer Compound and the Gilligans and Bradys and AAAGs return. Hopefully you can make it down a few times this summer to get out the CSR hats and run for the team. Also, keep me posted on any Saturdays that you guys don’t have a gig and we’ll make it a point to get to Elkhart, if they’re running.
Nice nice crowd. Facial Shot had a big group in the corner at the Loud Table. There were three guys at the Jukebox Table. Our Flagholder Meghan and her friend were in the Skyboxes at the bar, along with Jeff and a Non-racing Gary. Janet had a group in the Field Level Boxes to my left. And although I didn’t see her, The Original Sarah had a group toward the window. I believe there was at least one more table back there as well. Jim and Brenda with Patty in their usual on Race Row. And Rance separated them from the Kokomo group (Annie and Gina’s Krewe), which filled out the rest of Race Row. Lori behind the bar. Nelia in the kitchen. Rhonda on the floor. Steve driving the bus. And me? I got a pocketful of Kryptonite, ‘cause it’s-

Nice touch on the finish, the Crabs win the Semis in the order of finish in the Finals. Those are some smart Crabs. A new team coalesces on Race Row. Annie and Gina’s (never, never) Kokomo Krewe forms Twisted Fister Racing. They won a couple of races, got on the Podium, and from the names of their Crabs, it appears they understand the intent, and more importantly, have the ability to debase themselves with the best of us. Good to have ‘em aboard.
Moms and Pops are getting home this weekend I believe, so we should be opening up soon. Fill me in on your schedule and I’ll post your gigs here on the blog. Space Crab Racing on the Second of May. Cinco de Martha is actually on Saturday this year. Maybe we can work a Dorothy’s performance into the festivities.
I’ll catch you later and in the words of Madeline Kahn– “If it’s Wednesday, it’s wacing.
Ciao for nao
