• Sun stayed out long enough for us to crank out our outdoor set, which Celia from Shimmy Shake graciously joined us.

• The set was enjoyed by young and old alike, new fans and regulars, belly dancers and lindy hoppers. And a Natalie Wood lookalike with names etched in her back, who gave us most of our get-fors and joined us for Magic 8 Ball (after being shaken two or three times by Mike and Jon, she decided to do her own shaking!)

• Afterwards, it was a short hike to the booths to use our free beer tokens and grab ourselves some burgers, gyros and turkey legs. And Mike not only won Da Do Ron Ron, he won a free visor!
