We were back at Crackers Tiki Bar on the water last night. It had been some time since we’d played there and I’d forgotten how scenic it is. I’ll be the first to admit that it ain’t easy starting early in the evening while the sun is still high in the sky; its much more difficult for the mojo to creep up on you, but to look out on Kings Bay with the pallid boats moored on the greenish glass-topped water, the aquatic bird life and the long shadows are inspiring.

There was a good crowd on hand and most of them hung around all night. I over heard several groups of people mentioning that they had seen us on TV and were anxious to hear what we were all about. I hope they weren’t disappointed.

After dark we got the vibe and really started playing well. People were dancing and singing along and we were feeding off of that. It’s an awesome thing when group consciousness gets in sync and we all—the band and the crowd—feel like we’ve been friends forever. If beer is a gauge for appreciation, then we had a lot of appreciative friends last night.

Dirty Henry came up with a nice, tasty, refreshing prototype for our signature Bleu Voodoo cocktail. We are excited to be able to present a finished version to you all soon.

A group of us ended up laughing over Moons Over My Hammies in Denny’s. A special thanks to Charlotte and Wes for picking up the tab. If you missed it, come out tonight; we’ll be doing it all over again.
