Hoy Hoy!!
Greetings from Casa dos Gatos. Hope everything’s good and your trip went as well as could be expected. That’s a long drive.
I was passing out sausage at the Fly-in Cruise-in last Saturday, and this song gets stuck in my head. A little T-Bone Burnett ditty titled “Humans From Earth“. I don’t know how it got there, but it wasn’t going away. Anyway, it was from the soundtrack to a movie called “Until The End Of The World” (Bis ans Ende der Welt). The movie had William Hurt and Sam Neill and a bunch of people I don’t know. I think I need to watch it again. If you haven’t seen it, let me know when you’re going to be around and we’ll screen it.
Pre-ESPN crowd tonite. No Banjo Stringers. No Twisted Fisters. No Shockers. Race row however was full. Leslie (racing unaffiliated) anchored the eleven o’clock position on the Row, with a good size Facial Shot Team returning to the table on the other side. Steve and the Original Sarah were posted at the West End of the bar. A couple of Moose Knucklers at the South Window Table. John had the Skyboxes all to himself. That was about it. Double up on your crabs tonite. It did fill up pretty well by the end of the evening, with the Moose Knuckle Racing Team (MKR) making a heck of a showing (in people, if not wins). Rob behind the bar, Nelia in the kitchen, Rhonda on the floor, and the Cubs on the box. A perfect night for-

So there you go. Triple A G comes out strong in the second half and takes the whole thing. Evidently if the Flagholder doesn’t get a Crab, the Flag Holder’s Luck trickles down to the dj. Who would have thought? Pulled out all the stops, packed Second Half. The Skunk, the Crab, the Shark, The Chicken dance. I don’t think there was anything left in the basket. The evening started out kind of weird but it got on track and ended up with a nice vibe by time we got done.
Gonna try to get out to Stone’s this weekend to see you guys play. Don’t know that I’ll do the Dorothy Double, but you never can tell.
Ciao for nao
