The watermelon eating was astounding. We must get the names of those contestants. Lima Research Society just goes to show what Science can do. And Evan! Thanks for the music.

The 4/26 Café was interesting, to say the least. Confusing, I might say. More after the critique

– Generator Powered! At least we had sound. Lights didn’t work. But we liked Lima Research Society, Crucial Pary, Funkus, and said goodbye to Byron Lupin III, and hello to Byron the Traveller. I hope that confetti really goes away.

– The Festival Underground was great! We presented the Serendipity Staff Scholarship to Evan AND Zack, listened to new bands, enjoyed the sunshine, and then!!!! Got rained and thundered on just before the Staff Band was to play. Talk about luck! Missed Lof, though. Next time. Come to the Parade, come to the library.

– We now have a stage snake, thanks to the Parents Who Rock, which we used in January, at the 1/27 café. It worked fine. Reviews were quite positive for the January event, we had interesting and solid music, thanks to Julia Berlin. Feb is shaping up well, with Gray Delmar in charge of entertaiment.

– We had a great time on First Night. The recordings are in the mixing/burning stage. All the performers were professional and great. Some of them are completely famous. The reviews looked good in the Montclair times,and we made some money, so we’re buying a snake!!! A 16 channel, 75 foot audio cable for our new mixer.

– This café was the first one recorded with our new Yamaha AW1600 digital recording workstation. We’ll know in a few days how good it sounds. Paid attendance was 70, Heroes and Villians didn’t show up, but we had Dogwater and Rocket Surgery to take up the slack.No Problem!

– The December 3 Serendipity was small but fun. We had a lot of competion from Showcase, Hockey and Football. The large group of helpers at the end, putting the equipment back at 277 Grove, was a really wonderful indication that Serendipity is doing fine.

– The Aug 12th café was very lucky. We got the entertainment booked at the last minute, we had a good turnout, lotta fun, and didn’t have to pay rent for the building, thanks to Phil Jones and Tom Flowers. It will be good to get everyone back to town & started up on the Scarenedipity and such.

– The Festvial was (in my humble opinion) excellent this year. The Acid Reign were the hit of the day, and we were lucky to have both the founders of Festival Underground at the event. Thanks to Ken Pasture for all the work, heavy lifting, and all day in the heat. Thanks to all the bands, all the parents, my mom and dad, and that kid over there.

– the 5/28 Café had a really surprising number of Alumni in Attendance. And seeing Sara Bynum-Copeland, Terry’s mother, and Troy, Terry’s brother was wonderful. Among the old timers present were: Carleton Pote, Vin Demming, Isabel Chalek, Bill Farrell, Leigh Jones, Seth Orlofsky (with Heroes and Villains), Joel Kennedy and Mark Ludas in Rocket Surgery, and John Ludas & his brother in Fire in a Space Station, Justin Cody, Chris White (whom I missed, sorry, Chris), Rachel Watson, Dave Chaleck, Dylan Pasture, and others, I’ve probably forgotten. Thanks for David T. and Tim for the entertainment and waitering. Also thank Lucas who put in a hard day at work and then another one at TSC. The music was great, we ran late. You should have been there
