Hittin' the Big Time

[bitflipper]

Just found out we've been booked to play the main stage at the Evergreen State Fair in August. 

And get this: we nailed down the coveted 11:00 AM slot - on a weekday!

I'll make sure to set my alarm clock.

Will all the big Media outlets cover this historic event?

I think the main perk we're getting is we don't have to pay for parking.

They don't even give you a free Stein of Beer or a Joint?  What type of State Fair is this

Oh and Congrats on the Booking Dave!

They're usually asleep in one of the teacups.

No joints needed 'round these parts. Just walking around while breathing will suffice.

Amateur. I've done more than that. Regretted it every time.

a State Fair gig

A hip hop group I wrote music for.  A similar time frame, Saturday at 1 pm under the outdoor pavillion.

The act after us was a Native American drum and dance group.  They invited us to stay and dance in a big circle with them.  The rest of my band rolled out.  I stayed and danced with them, and was the only one not wearing proper regalia.  It was quite an experience.

There were probably 1000 people watching, and coming and going, as my group played, but mostly the crowd was just happy to be under the shade of the pavilion. 

I had the sense that most of the locals were stupefied seeing a mixed hip hop group followed by Natives chanting and dancing.

I loved it.

I have learned much from my regrets.
