Well, technically we're not in the summer, but we've been blessed with summer weather for quite a while now.
So today we gathered our scattered group of friends at Troy's La Crema Coffee Company next door to my place. It is a perfect venue for Open no mike/Gypsy caravan. It was good to be all together again.
Troy made excellent coffee, and we had munchies. Were present Troy and Charity, and Charity's friends; Bob, Cath and Jan, Gary, Toolie managed to drag Roberto behind the bicycle, and Tug the Tasmanian devil brought Rick, his chauffeur :); Michelle came along with Kevin, Tammy and her husband, and "B" our new character in town came on his Pedicab, and my Flamenco dress dragged me along as well as she was itching for some cockroach stomping.
Tonight was one of those magic Open no Mikes, the dogs behaved, Bob and Rick played their best, soon joined by "B", who has quite a voice of his own, very moving.
Gary treated us with storytelling and hilarious campfire songs old and new, Jan was doing her crochet on a deep armchair and obviously had a good time. I did a bedeviled Flamenco fire dance, accompanied by Bob, and that was lots of fun.
Community at its best, lots of music and laughter.
We decided to have our next at Gary's place on June 27.
