Yes, its been a while since I've posted. So you can image it took a pretty big event to make me type, upload pics and email my pals. SHOWBOAT WEEK IS OVER. More importantly, the beer tent is done. Anyone reading this would get the mistaken impression I didn't have fun. No, on the contrary, there was no lacking in the fun department. The shows were great, the volunteering went smoothly and the beer was cold. But the sleep deprevation and draft beer headaches linger on. Everyone worked so hard for 7 days and I really want to say thank you to everyone who helped out.
Monday night HAD to be the best! Three of the members of Finger 11 stopped by the "hospitality" tent to just have a few drinks. It wasn't long before I spotted one and their quite night of drinking ended and the autograph and photo taking began. This picture is of Scott Anderson, Lead Singer and my fan crazed face. (thanks Kelly Keys for the picture!) His brother Sean and the guitarist Rick Jackett were also chatting with some very happy Chesaning people. They were super nice guys from Toronto that were talking about family and music and well, beer. I'm not sure what I was expecting... I totally yelled, "you are the first guy I ever met that lives in my I-pod." What's a guy suppose to say to that? He took a small step back, smiled and made sure his manager was close by.

Wednesday was a let down at first, the weather was crazy. But when we were told that Sugarland would re-schedule everyone was ready to just enjoy the fun atmosphere of the tent. I remember thinking "we should go home early". That would have been great advice.
All the volunteers were amazing! Everyone just wanted the nights to be a big success.
Now that we've been home for a day, the kids even recognized Joe when he came home from work, hopefully our rutine can get back to the happy little rut we have come to know and love.
Until we decide to buy a sheep farm......

A) Thanks for re-invinting me - my lst one expired
B) I agree a good time was had by all this last week, but thank goodness it is done
C) Alas, Showboat is over which means - time to think books, pencils, and teacher's dirty looks - I need to practice in front of a mirror!
a. you're welcome, glad you are here.
b. THANK YOU for your mad ticket sellin' skills. I know your Roz/Meredith duo was interrupted this year. Not good.
c. ungh. I don't want to think about school. My kids have this really rough teacher and... oh, you know her? I hear she's even tougher on 3rd graders.
Okay, I was so desperate to get to your blog I went and opened Internet Explorer on a lark to see if my old bookmarks were still there. Even the all mighty and super cruel Firefox can't keep me away.
I am sad that we never met up during Showboat week. I tried to stalk the comedians on Tuesday night, but was not as successful as you.
