Sure sure, I wasn’t found this week. And you could chalk that up on the big tally board as a failure. But you know what? I ended up at the first Concrete and Grass Music Festival. This is an outdoor concert that I wouldn’t have known about or looked for if it weren’t for Least Dangerous Game. And it was a great time.
The first band up was the Como Ave Jug Band, which is exactly what it sounds like. There was a jug player, tap dancing percussion, a washboard, fiddle, mandolin, oil drum base, and more. It was a great time, and well worth the free admission.
The twangy Front Porch Swingin’ Liquor Pigs came on next with a solid performance. They kept things moving with some Billy Joe Royal and White Stripes songs.
Next up was the full voiced and out of tune Total Praise Gospel Choir which was, well, out of tune and hard to listen to. Which was a shame.
And the people there! Old MPR listeners mixed with the fellow who decided that coveralls do exactly as advertised so he didn’t see the need to wear a t-shirt.
I could go through the clues that would have led people to me, but no one was led to me. The clues weren’t the most complex I’ve had, so it seems that no one was playing.
Which is a shame, because the festival was a great time. I’ll have to go and use this $20 Target gift card prize myself. Oh well.
Is anybody out there? Sound off in the comments if you are. We’ll do this again in two weeks.
