It was a tale of two cities... well... the same city, but two different weather patterns as our return to Scarborough for the first time in 5 years featured 100+ degree weather on Sat, and rainy weather on Sun.
We had a great time performing on the newly revamped Idlewyld Stage (now with extra seating!) and seeing a ton of new faces mixed in with some familiar ones as well.
We even managed to wrangle Gil Burton Sullivan the Cooper to join us for 1/2 our shows. Some apples can't fall far from the tree, no matter how hard they try.

|
The rain didn't stop us from bringing our mics out on Sunday. The Dragon Wings shop was appreciative, at least.
|
John Crow didn't want to get all wet and muddy, playing dead on the Night Pat Murphy Died. Lucky, Gil was back and brought his lack of self-respect.
|
When the sun did emerge, Maroon's inner vampire also emerged and he was forced into hiding.
|
Sunday's Pub Sing was not spared the horrid appearance of the pirates again. That explains why we keep getting uninvited back.

Seven Drunken Nights |
