Chimichang Cheesy Burrito-
Greetings from Casa dos Gatos! I’m still stunned from the incredible performance by Polkaboy on Friday at Oktoberfest. That, and the Leinenkugel, combined for a perfect way to pass a rainy evening. If you missed it, here’s a piece of very bad video to give you a taste of what it was-
Everything these guys played was incredible (including Edelweiss from The Sound of Music. Go figure). If they’re nearby, take the time to see them. You won’t be sorry.
Back to the matter at hand. An incredible crowd this evening at the Crabitorium. People lined up shortly after 7:00 to get their best shot at a winning Crab. Several new Teams in the house tonite. Team Susan and Team Dunham are joined by the Michigan Sixty-Niners (guess where they’re from) to make their maiden attempt at Crab racing. Lots of Regulars in the House as well most of the League leading Teams are here to scramble for Points in their pursuit of a Championship. The First Place Sapphire Racing League has a large Krewe as do The Crustacean Sensations, Tighter Than A Banjo String Racing, Team Hinkey (three’s big for them), and The Screamin’ Seamen. Rochelle and a few more Indies make it a Natural Sellout. The lovely Steve Schrader is our Host this evening and the equally lovely Ricky Four Inch is behind the Bar. Thursday Night Shane is in the Kitchen and Rhonda is on the floor, SERVING US ALL!!! I’m afraid my tights keep riding up, but we’ll plow ahead anyway, because it’s time for-

Well, that was exciting, wasn’t it. The crowd did a fine job with an a cappella Finals as we runned into some technical difficulties with our high dollar sound system. Rochelle gets Fourth as tonite’s only Indie winner. The M69 Krewe grabs Third and The Sapphire Racing League adds some points to their lead with a Second Place finish. Super Folkie takes the $50 First Place money for himself.
But, he will bring it back on the 14th, when First Place will be worth $80 in Folkie’s Krab Kash. I know I’ll be there! Until then, he’s Sonny Starr.
Ciao for nao
