This Weekend Ends

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know there was a lot of grad parties still going on. We had our "company" party on Saturday and I'd say a good time was had by all, and why not the party was for us! David the IT head won the costume contest coming as not just as Curly, but took it a step further and came as "Bustoff" the wrestler Curly impersonates in "Grips, Grunts & Groans".
Mike McNulty, our logistics man did the best on the trivia contest, fetching an admirable 5 out of 7 correct and coming very close on the other two questions.

After warming up with some Looney Tunes we settled into our Stooge Marathon, capped off by viewing some Jethro Tull footage from Germany. Overall a good time was had by all who attended. We made plans for August which will put us in an entirely different venue next month. We, Lamocu, have been asked to assist in the First Annual M.M.C. Festival just east of here. The Michigan Musicians Collective, of which we are members of (and suggest all aspiring performers join) is putting on their first festival showcasing many of our members. To be asked to help means we have been noticed and appreciated---we can't wait. It's like a mini Woodstock, the biggest event (aside from some golf outings) that we have been a part of. To be recognized and given an opportunity --- we are handling Hospitality, Merchandising and some promotion---is very exciting to us. Thanks to Bob Clarke (Cowboy Bob) for believing in us and given us this chance!

Last night at the Kiwanis Gazebo Concerts, Rick & John once again made us look good. First ever warm up act in 35 years of shows. So the park wasn't totally full when the boys started playing (people so use to the 7pm start time) but as the crowd arrived for the 7pm show they were appreciative and responded to Rick & John quite favorably. We have seen Rick & John some half a dozen times at least but hearing their melodies carry over the duck pond into downtown Brighton was magical. Rick & John will be working with us again in September at the Spartan Gala put on by the M.S.U. Alumni. Overall a great weekend of music and entertainment.
