Wow! What a sucessful day! The Mayor's Block Party put Heritage Days to shame. Even though Jack slept through most of the Kidz Block Party everyone seemed to be having a good time when we finally got there at 4:00. Then it was on to 1st Ave where The Accidentals drew a huge crowd. And I've got to say that they played like they've been playing everyday for the last 30 years instead of being on hiatus. I felt bad for the band who went on after them because the crowd all but disappeared after The Accidentals' set. They also came back on stage around 10:45 to wrap up the night and the crowd was even bigger then. It was like no one wanted the evening to end. Instead of playing the planned 3 songs, Randy kept telling them "One more song!" until we got a 6 song encore out of them. Even the weather cooperated for the mayor. For you all who haven't met Mayor Randy, he's a big man who likes cool temperatures so he was comfortable while the rest of us kept going into the bar just to warm up (and get a refill of course).
Thank you Mayor Bolen for a great day!
