We were in the house last night for “Hat Night” with Watkins and the Rapiers at the Little Theater. Sue was was taking the official band photo while I butted in to grab this shot. It was also Haiku night and band members were on a role with pieces based on the celebrity paintings that are currently on view.
I had an appointment at the Hair Zoo this morning to discuss their web site. Stan the Man recommended us and I hope it works out. I parked right next to a Cadillac Escalade near a big sign that said “Walk In”. I tried walking in the front door and it was locked so I went around back. There was a guy there cleaning the windows. When he left, he turned to the people in the waiting room and said “I have feeling someone in this room is going to win the lottery today”. I guess you would have to play it to win it and I don’t even know where to go to buy those things. And how do you know if you win. Is that stuff in the paper? I probably should have gone out and bought a ticket.
We had received a couple of calls urging us to vote “yes” on the proposal to move the senior living facility on Pinegrove to the empty plaza across from Bishop Kearney. Hard to believe they would hold a special election on this but I guess it is a hot button issue. We went over to vote as a hoot and were surprised at how crowded t was. There were Irondequoit cops directing traffic in and out of the Town Hall. In class tonight Peggi’s yoga teacher, Jefferey, said we should have voted “No”.

The Rapiers were much louder on their fourth Little show than they were on their first. I kept expecting the Theater side of things to complain, but they didn’t. It was a great night – must’ve been the hats. Rick’s trombone playing was wild. Lot’s of good Haikus, but of course the only one I can remember was the one I wrote, the first of many “haikus on a napkin’ as Kerry called them:
Watkins in the house
Thirty electrified strings
Please wear your best hat
Also thanks to John and Jeff for buying the wine and Sue for helping me drink it.
Thanks Bob for sending your Haiku and reporting in that Rowland Salley wrote “Killing The Blues”, the serious song the Rapiers covered that night. What an astonishing range range these guys have from their own “One Too Many Polkas” to something like that.
