The Crab Fest, always a wonderful event. Great food good music and lots of friends you haven’t seen in a while. Friday night as always The Chee Weez brought their best show video screen and all… This was a first for me I was excited to have a video screen… We brought out the big system we wanted to try and knock down the Oak Trees if we could. Though it was hot the shade of the Oak Trees and those lovely mister fans kept it tolerable all weekend. Saturday however was not a good day at all. The Bucktown Al Stars were doing a great show when I got some terrible news. I had to rush to the hospital my grandmother was not doing well at all. I called my right hand guy to come fill in for me. Unfortunately I did not make it there in time she passed away before I arrived. Funny thing how I deal with death… I don’t… after a while with family I couldn’t take it I couldn’t sit there sulking and thinking I had to get away from it. I went back to the Crab Fest, like most people were you’re shocked right nobody could believe I came back, I had to keep my mind off of it. Clay had Brandon Foret sounding phenomenal of course I knew they were in good hands when I left. Sunday I arrived as usual around 11am to setup for Barbara and Company who were great then that night Junior and Sumthin Sneaky. Both bands were awesome. The whole weekend as far as the Crab Fest goes was great. I had nothing but compliments all weekend, kind of made up for the issue stirring in my head since Saturday evening. Looking forward to next year…

You always wanted to know when I was playing music or running sound and wanted to come, well now you can make it to all of them.
