Location: Boise, Idaho | I introduced my wife as my "first wife" once, where everyone else in the group seemed to be on number 2 or so. She thought that was a little strange, but she's used to it. Maybe I'll score some points with the "best wife" line next time. I need lots more points.
Life is good. |

My story is about the same Alan, except I had 20 years of marriage and seven of singlehood. I can't agree more: Life IS good and my kids are the best! |

Location: Newington, CT | I propose a rule: You can't vote for yourself or Matt.
Therefore (and NOT in this order of priority):
(1) Pat at the auction house
(2) Al at espressit
(3) Pat at espressit
(4) Karen at the auction house
(5) Cliff at Al's place
(6) Cliff at espressit (with, I think, Tim and the kid) |

(1) Pat at the auction house
(2) Al at Coffee Garden -- REALLY cool solo!

Location: Newington, CT | Those are my favorites...the most congenial to my ears. If I were a country music lover (as distinguished from bluegrass, though I might be wrong in making the distinction), then PEZ did some really fun stuff at the Coffee Garden. Just not my favorite genre, but I can recotgnize when someone is doing some good stuff!
I forgot to add that I really liked Barry Hollander at the auction house.
I missed Dave Walsh, 'cause I was warming up for my open mic time at the auction house.
Al: you hit the nail on the head! Some GREAT performances. Quick question: do these ever get recorded for vide or even just audio? I'll bet that OFC'ers would love to obtain recordings for themselves. |
