– We got rained out in July but the August amphitheater café was lovely. The weather was fine and we even had electric power. There’s a bit in the Montlcair times about volunteering, for adults. September is recruitment month!

– 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.

– 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.

– 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.

– Good turnout, interesting music. The library is a great place for Serendipity. The movie was a beauty, and the Library’s DVD/Projector/Screen was very slick indeed.

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

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.

Festival Underground without rain! Great weather, great bands, Award ceremonies, Iko-Iko, grape soda. Thanks & Congrats to the class of ‘08

Marched in the Independence Day Parade. Early on we were joined by Sara Bynum-Copeland, who is Terry’s mother. She stayed with us for the whole parade, and helped carry the banner. She told us stories from the founding of Terry’s Serendipity Café. And it didn’t rain much.!

Although Manuel put in a lot of work setting up the Hip-Hop show, it just didn’t come together. Too many people out of town, not enough time. We’ll try this again in the fall.

It was cool to put all the tables on the stage. The lighting came out right and so did the sound. The bands were good. Not bad for a rainy day.

The Lutheran Church seems to bring us good luck. The Passing Notes were great, I hope they come back. So were Crucial Party. Cranes Are Flying are getting better and better. Pumpkin pie, though, even as a watcher I was near to being “sick”.

Use of the Union Congregational Church, Vincent Building, basement went well. The Arrow Committee did superbly & Emma’s choice of The Marionette Roulette was the most interesting. Our own “March to the Sea” was great. As was the film

Same size, same dedication. Animal Scandal turned out to be quite good. Too bad about the Awesome!! And the rain, we’ll try again in September. No Library this summer, I’m told, due to staffing problems. So we’ll try for the Amphitheater.

We had the Park House as a rain location, and lucky we did. It rained. I think a lot of people missed this great event, because they thought it was too rainy. Congratulations to Larry Pope, this year’s Staff Scholarship Award winner and many thanks to the runners up, Ethan Cantor and Ross Hamilton for their years of dedicated service.
