Ah, TOP, the dwindling grex tradition. I think I've been at half of them so
far, and at least a few appearances are just because I want to see something.
Intermission during the Reduced Shakes Company show, for example.

The Witch Doctors were preceded onstage by Jo Serrapere and the Willie
Dunns. (That was Thursday, two nights before Terraplanes & Bugs Beddow.)

Jo Serrapere gets two nights at Top of the Park this year.
Unfortunately I had to miss her night with the Willie Dunns, but
I'm going to do everything possible NOT to miss her July 2nd
date with her country/bluegrass/oldtime band Uncle Earl, which
also includes singer K.C. Groves. Uncle Earl's show at the Ark
this spring was quite good, and I'm working to twist some arms
to get some of you out for their TOP show.
-----
Sunday night's show by The Raisin Pickers (named for the Raisin River
which flows through their town, I think) was OK, but I wish they did
more old songs and fewer new ones. TOP certainly is a dwindling
Grex tradition: the only Grexers I saw were other, scg, and (briefly)
dewshine. I'm probably skipping tonight's movie, though it is
a fun one -- SHANGHAI NOON, Jackie Chan's western -- and I expect
to be there for LEGALLY BLONDE on Tuesday.

I'm looking forward to tonight; both Funktelligence and Shanghai Noon.

SCG is in town?
I'm going to be there shortly. It's Orange night at TOP, and everybody who's
ever seen me in it knows (and fears) what that means.

Anyway, I spotted senna, scg, other, janc, and one Grexer who I barely
recognized and couldn't come up with a name for. Oh, and also biohazar.

Buddy and I went to TOP around 9:30 in the hopes that the rain
might let up and that the movie LEGALLY BLONDE might be screened.
However, the evening had been called off. We chatted with
Eric/other a bit; he said the first band had gotten its set in
tonight, but that the second band never took the stage due to the
rain.

(that's a true shame. "Legally Blonde" was one of my favorite
movies last summer. I suppose the plus is that I didn't miss it
at TOP after all.)

I spotted other under the parking lot deck about 8 oclock, but left when it
became clear they were putting the monitors away for good. Then it rained.
Hard.

I saw a couple Grexers at TOP on Monday, but I didn't remember their names.
Otherwise, I would have said "Hello."
So...if any of you saw me there with my sister and said "Goodness, twinkie
is rude in person, as well!" please don't take offense. :)

Hmm. You didn't come and say hello to me. I'm easy to find at TOP. I'm
the guy who spends the most time on stage without actually making any
music. Plus, I wear a tag around my neck with my name on it.
I'm usually weearing my "Discovery Wings Channel" basebal cap, to keep
the sun out of my eyes, or in yesterday's case, to keep the rain out of
my eyes.

Spotted very very few grexers last night. In fact, the only grexer I
spotted was other.

Spotted other, who gave me a free ticket to the Nnenna Freelon concert inside.
Thanks, Eric!

Glad to provide. You were the only 'likely candidate' I saw tonight.
The show wasn't selling very well, so they had a few tickets available to
persons deemed likely to enjoy the show but unlikely to have purchased
tickets to it.

Tonight! 8:15 pm at Top of the Park, the Ann Arbor-based bluegrass/oldtime
band Uncle Earl, an all-woman band with Jo Serrapere and KC Groves on
lead vocals, Tamineh Guarmany on fiddle, and -- if we're lucky --
the same part-time members on banjo and bass who played with the
band in February for that great show at the Ark.
I came back from my Maryland trip a day early so I wouldn't miss
this show.

(also tonight is the Heidi Snyder Band, which I had the pleasure of seeing
perform two years ago. [coincidentally, that was my last time at TOP.])
