We started nice and early today gettin donuts for the nice ticket selling folks at Grand Crowne Resorts. We stood outside watching the rain and waiting to get let into the building along with the 80 employees, which was nice cause it gave us a chance to talk with many of the people that we've met here and there over the years. When we got inside we ended up playing a 20 minute set for the whole crew, and they were a wonderfully responsive crowd. I think many of them had seen us do little bits over the years, but it was cool to be able to show a huge group of folks that actually sell the tickets a more comprehensive demonstration of what we do. So after our job was done and donuts delivered, we checked the weather and hoped the clouds would clear so we could play the big boy scout day camp at Price Cutter Park. We played this event a couple years ago and the kids really seemed to dig it. Well our good friend, and long time Buckets N Boards supporter, Janet does a lot of work for the boy scouts. She is rad, she hooked us up with about 200 pairs of misprinted drumsticks many years ago, and that allowed us to give sticks away to deserving kids when we'd play at the landing...we actually are down to our last 10 pairs...so if anybody else knows about any free drumstick factories out there be sure and let us know. So, many thanks to Janet, we got asked to come back and play for this wild bunch of children. They were a great bunch of kids and they let us know they liked the show by making more noise than I thought humanly possible, and also more weird noises than I've ever heard (and we're in a show that is built around weird noises). But it was fun and definitely the first show we've ever played on top of a dugout....and now off to hang with the family, for some long awaited family time, you know with family. Have a good friday evening y'alls. And we'll see you bright and early saturday morning, for our long awaited 10:00AM SATURDAY MORNING SHOW!!!!

I'm glad you got to have some family time. To me, family time is the best time of the week. Hey, we caught your 2 pm show at Clay Cooper's this past Thursday. Thanks for all of the fun and entertainment that you provided to my family on our "family time". Your show just keeps getting better and better.
