I'll be in the Renton River Day's Parade. Actually, I might be leading it as the flag bearer but in either case my VFW Post will be at the front. This year, we're going to have a flatbed truck for the older guys that can't hobble the whole 2 miles. As an added bonus though, we're going to have our Post Commander and Rory Dunn in a convertible with some seagals (www.seattleseagals.com) To read more about Rory: http://www.issaquahpress.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=2643&SectionID=8 After the parade, we'll have a 10x20 tent amongst the sea of booths all weekend to hand out some refreshments and possibly get new members to our Post, Ladies Auxiliary or Men's Auxiliary. (The Men's Auxiliary is a new addition to our post and the only one in the whole Pacific Northwest. You can join it if you have a close relative that is a war veteran.) We'll have a bagpipe drum & bugle corp procession at the VFW Post in the afternoon followed by lots of food for the public, etc. It should be super duper fun. More info on the whole shindig is at: http://www.ci.renton.wa.us/rrd/special.htm
I will be singing in the upcoming Art Fair Song Fest next week. There will be 3 noontime concerts on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, plus evening concerts on Thursday and Friday. Admission is free for all concerts except Friday. All concerts will be at Kerrytown Concert House. Here's the web page describing the Fest: http://www. kerrytownconcerthouse.com/calendar/default.asp?v=d&d=7/21/2005 My performance will be on the Friday, 12 noon, concert. I will be singing a set of arias about Ariadne, the mythological figure who saved Theseus from the Minotaur, and then was later abandoned by him on a deserted island. Her story has inspired many composers over the years, and I will be singing arias from four different centuries.
Clarification: Admission is free for all concerts except Friday EVENING. So, my noontime Friday appearance is free.
I will be performing my famous couch potato impression for the next several days. It's been quite a while since I've had the opportunity to do this performance so don't miss it. Hmm. Maybe I should start the "Grexers NOT on stage" item...
lol. Good job running TOTP, Eric.
That's funny because I almost posted "I will be performing my infamous "Dance of the Vacuum Cat Terror tonight in my living room - admission is free, refreshments provided".
Leslie slipped...

Not a performance, but I'll be doing sound at The Ark on Saturday.

re #19 Is that the one where you drink too much and dance with people?
heh, no thats my impression of Ted Kennedy, except I leave out the part where I run some lady off the road, go home to sleep off the booze, and then call the police.
wow, but for the grace of god the scenario you just described could be dubya...actually but for the grace of the state trooper who busted him after he ran off the road. i wonder what he was doing drunk driving with a female cousin in the car? how very *dukes uh hazzert* eh? eh?
