Q BBQ!

 

Alright, fine- It’s a yard sale, technically, and there will indeed be BBQ.  Q Division’s Yard Sale is tomorrow and a bunch of Crash Safely folks will be there.

And we’ll be hungry!

 

I’ve been meaning to post about this for a while, now, but I just got a new computer and the monitor is, well… overwhelming. Everything I type looks like it’s appearing across the street from me, which is a little disorienting.

Go ahead, try to spell correctly!

 

The Q Yard Sale is a lot of fun, and at last year’s event, the fun started on the red line on my way there.  While I’m not looking for anything in particular this year (in fact, I’m looking to give someone some music), I will probably leave there with some treasures. Unlike last year, I’m not in the process of moving the shows from one venue to another or changing dates.  I am simply waiting for the first round of the artwork!

Should you be wanting a quick rundown, here are the details as they are today.  Keep in mind these shows are in September, so be flexible with your iCal, ok? Ticket links are on the way as well for most nights. It’s not even July. I’m organized, but I’m not quite that good. Go ahead and give me some cute names for nights 2 and 4 as well.

4 Nights. 3 Venues. 2 Weekends. 1 Cause- a Cure for MS!

See you in September!


Web site facelifts!

In between the shows, the ride and the upcoming Dinner of Champions event hosted by the National MS Society, we’ve been busy changing some of the look and feel of the main web site to accommodate all of the photos and video that’s available from the past two years.

To put it in perspective, this September’s show has over 1,000 photos that I am aware of.  Photographers like Mick Murray, Crystal Bailey, Steve Latham, Johnny Anguish and Mike Oliver make up a great many of that 1,000.  Many of the photos will be showcased on the front page on the main site soon.   Here’s a great photo of Chris Toppin by Steve Latham, for instance:Chris Toppin by Steven Latham

 

Thanks again to everyone involved, and have a great new year!!!
