Steambath and a Show

    It was the hottest day of the year!
    I’m still worn out from this year’s concert, but here are few notes about the day…
    Mike did a more elaborate tailgate than usual, hooking up an inverter to his car battery to power a fan and his Frozen Concoction Maker.  The parking lot was definitely a Barometer Soup and I’m not ashamed to admit I drank a lot more water than Landsharks or margaritas.  We didn’t do a lot of wandering around, clinging too much to the shade of our canopy, but I still plan on whipping up another tailgate video soon.  Watch this space.  Maybe.
    The crowd rallied enough to be loud and appreciative by show time; but the people around me were lame and sat down way too often.
    Even after sundown, it was still quite hot.  We recorded a podcast from the parking lot, but we sound so beat that it makes for some less than exciting listening.
    For now, here’s a batch of photos I took of the day, in our photo gallery.  A far cry from last year’s front row seats, but oh well…
    And, ultimately, as always, it was a pleasure and a hell of an evening.
