Kickstarter Stuff
I also got the notification that my LAKE R▲DIO package (a t-shirt, an original EP, two cds, free digital downloads for life, and 'on the guest list' for any shows to which I am local) will be sent out shortly.
All kinds of new music, both live and recorded, plus a cool t-shirt! A great day indeed...

One-Hour Vacation
I raced down to the lake directly from work, and spent a glorious hour there from 7 - 8 pm. I arrived, changed into my swimsuit, inflated one of the many donut floats, ate a few small Slim Jims, and slathered myself with sunscreen. And after a quick paddle out, I had a Wachusett Imperial Black IPA 22 oz. bottle to accompany me in the middle of Wyman's Pond from 7:15 - 7:45. A perfect way to end a good day at work...

WPMF3
Well, it didn't turn out quite as I'd imagined, but this year's Wyman's Pond Music Fest happened.
The Rafters (minus Miki, who was packing for her & Dave's trip to Disney World) played a great set while the sun lasted. Sarah Blacker (and her percussionist Sheesh) performed for an hour under the canopy while it rained. And finally, Kristin Cifelli played a handful of sings w/o plugging in during the downpour that followed. Chris (Almanac Mountain) and Elizabeth (Lorrey) were gracious enough to agree to perform at a later date, in either August or September, since the weather was ridiculous, and everyone had left by 4:30 pm.
Since the first two years were both sunny, warm and dry, the weather was bound to catch up to us...
There was a good crowd. The usual Oakmont suspects (Mike, Pete, Luc, Jody and Dave, plus Ann and Courtney); Paul and Nick both came from work, with their respective girlfriends (Tori and Anna) and friends; each of the musicians had at least one 'special guest' with them; and Sarah had two of her friends' families over with their kids. Relatives in attendance: Dad & Ma, Sarah & Jon and the kids, Holly and the kids (Kevin had to work), Ted & Wendy, Jeff & Jill and Lyndsey, Aunt Carol & Jim, and Jean Marie. Side note: Gavin drove down around 5:30 after everyone had left!

A Short Lake Interval
I raced down to the lake yesterday after working 9-6. I had an amazing Wachusett Imperial Black IPA, and spent a nice hour floating in the middle of the pond, enjoying the beer and the sunset.
