During my two week absence, co-hosts Bill and A J (and a host of others) kept the lights burning for me.
Not only was March 29th the beginning of Passover, but it was right during the torrential rain storms that practically submerged Rhode Island (sorry about that Pat and Jill) - and had Paddy's bailing out with buckets in the back room as well from a persistant roof leak.
But a few staunch supporters waded in (see Mary's photos here), and as A J reported in an e-mail to me: "the turnout was small, due to inclimate weather but it was solid with Bill, Mike, Scott, & myself . We hung out till Tuesday and it was OK. Round2 on Monday."
Round two indeed, the April 5 jam was the opposite, with great weather and the National Championship Game (with a packed, and apparently inebriated bar - Liz, did you have anything to do with that?).
Warren Peace checked in via e-mail to comment on Gary's version of "Meet The Mets" - bluegrass-style, no less:
"Wow! you missed a Wild and Cra-a-a-zy time, we had a slightly deranged and extremely drunk Mets fan, who wanted us to do Meet the Mets, Gary fortunatly knew the words, but that barely registered with the drunked sot. Who then proceeded to take his Mets cap off his head, displayed the Mets logo all around and then threw his hat on the floor.
I'm thinking Wow! a Mets-ican Hat Dance.
I'm proud to say that this barely fazed our intrepid Beyonders, they took it all in stride.
Other than that a great time was had by all, as always."
Mets-ican Hat Dance! Not bad Warren (and Gary)! Where was Mary to photograph all this?
Finally, those of you who follow this blog know that one of the joys in my life is constantly kidding co-host Bill about his utter and complete lack of sports knowledge.
Well, another intrepid B & B correspondent (Jonathan) e-mailed me this one about Bill:
"If you missed last Monday's jam you also missed the one opportunity you will ever have to witness Bill watching a sporting event. That's right, Bill turned his attention to the last 13 seconds of the Duke-Butler game and seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself for the limited amount of time."
That's about it, except that I really missed a lot while I was away - the Paddy's Country/Bluegrass Idols finals, the 2nd Ave. Mtn. Boys at the Canal Room for a Hall and Oates Contest and Paddy's performances by both Triboro and the 2nd Ave. Mtn. Boys.
But, I won't miss the next Bluegrass and Beyond!
See you soon,
