Friday night's live gig (Oct. 28) at the Flynn Creek Circus (FCC) Halloween party in Comptche (Mendocino County) was a major shindig! Thanks to Mike and Sean for putting on the best party in years up north!
We played a headlining slot after two other fine bands. The Flynn Creek Circus, paired down to Blaze and Davey Jones on single trapeze, Tony as the MC and a couple dancers (I was unable to see from our stage) awed the crowd with fetching circus shenanigans and daredevil feats of strength and tandem skillz high above our heads.
BSC and FCC complimented each other by taking turns: We played a few, they performed, we played a few more, they changed into new colorful trapeze costumes and performed more, and so on.
Word in the crowd was we sounded great, with a healthy dance beat to lay down the hip shakin' law!
The rest of the evening was a hazy blur of clouds of what Mendocino is best know for and universal drunkenness abounding in every side yard and orchard, beside antique barns, along cow pasture fences, and inside the old farm house. Free drinks were available to performers and there was no lack of good keg beer for this stand-up drummer (thanks to the party chaps with compliments about my Cocktail kit)!
Extra special thanks to my mates for the ever-lastin' fun times! Otter-ettes, though we missed you, you were off the hook as we did not get around to the Otter Dance... Next time!
