Crazy Saturday in Branson

Started off playing with and for the monkeys today. We played our gig at the Dickerson Park Zoo's event "Zoobilee," directly next to the Monkey cages. And the best part of our whole day was that the monkey, "Tony," played along with us the whole hour. He had an empty Folgers canister and he was bangin' it on the tree and spinnin' it around and really gettin' into it. We have some video of the amazing monkey that we will be posting on our facebook page very shortly. We had a great time at the zoo, and hope to play many more events this year there. After our goofy morning, we hurried home to play a wacky afternoon show of Buckets N Boards at the lovely and newly renovated Clay Cooper Theatre here in beautiful Branson, Missouri, where the temperatures reached an uncomfortably humid 92 degrees today. So, extremely thankful for the air conditioning, we had a blast testing the outer boundaries of silliness for an hour and a half, this afternoon. I think we may have even accidentally added a new bit to our increasingly ridiculous show. We took a crazy long time to break down our set, and went off in different directions in search of food and rest. I found my food at Thai Thai Cuisine, located downtown by the Owens Theatre, however, they will be moving in June to a spot right next to fuddruckers and Dixie Stampede. By far my favorite restaurant ever anywhere (Gareth), Thai Thai offers outstanding Thai food spicy as you like it, and they use the freshest ingredients. So, now we are currently intermissioning at Clay Cooper's Country Music Express show. And after the show we are the opening act at a Relay for Life fundraiser at local club, Tabu. Local entertainer, Larry Foster, is working hard to put together a huge event, and we are pleased to be a part of it. And after we're done, we hope to rest... BNB
