Weekend Getaway Re-cap

Had a fantastic time! Show was excellent. Those guys are true pro's. Didn't think they could get better since we saw them about 5 years ago, but they did. Wanted to go to Bad Habit Brewery in St. Joe after the show but it ran too late. (Not complaining!) Went back to Albany where the hotel was and had a couple and nachos at a dive downtown. Skipped the waffle and stale bagel at the hotel in the morning and went to Charlie's Cafe in Freeport. Next, on to Mill's Fleet Farm in Alex to kill time until Copper Trail brewing opened. Had a beer there, got a growler for the sitters, and headed home. The kids behaved well and were happy to see us and us them. One of the highlights was a simple thing: stopped to get gas before getting on I-94. Looking at snacks for the trip and Mrs. In says to me "We're both in the store at the same time!" We always take turns while the kids are in the car. Made me smile. All in all a success!

Glad you folks were able to get away and have some fun , and revisit the people you were , before you became mom and dad. Your new role of being parents can some times , over shadow your former selves . Your are still in there , and need to come out now and then , even if it is just as simple as being together in the same store , at the same time,lol. Been there, all in all , it is great .

Always good to get away. Glad the String Dusters put on a good show. The only bad one we ever went to was Cadillac Sky. They have a few good things recorded,but as a live show,they sucked.

That's too bad. They're one of my other favorite bands from when I first started listening to bluegrass. Seems like they're last record was just a little too far out there.

You ever go to the bluegrass festival at Rancho Manana between Cold Spring and Avon? Check out the MN Bluegrass.org website.

Not yet. Sposta be one of the best in the country if I heard it right.

Ya,they incorporated too much of that "out there" stuff in their live show. At the end,they laid down their instruments,the sound system was squealing like a stuck pig,and they walked off and let it go on. Stage hands finally shut down the noise. Never saw anything like it,but they must have thought it was funny. It's not like the crowd was anything but receptive to them,so it shouldn't have been a grudge thing. I'm pretty sure it was just the way they had planned all along to end the show.
