The Hip Hop Serendipity didn’t quite work. Some of the music was good, some of it was medium, but mainly, hardly anyone showed up.

 The Mettenhiemer was awesome. Thanks to Dylan, Jackie, Marty, Gail, Ken, Bruno, all the Staff members, especially the waiters, The Montclair Women’s Club, our advertisers, the bands, performers, lotta work, lotta good results. Evelyn! Not out of character for a millisecond. Cinema! Cinema!

The festival Underground was a beautiful day, and a small group of the inner circle of Serendipity friends showed up for a really great day of music and sun and breezes and hackie-Frisbee.

Saturday’s café was mellow. Was that Manny Smith I saw? Sam Paterson? Too bad we didn’t get any pictures. Anyone who has pix of the 8/21 café, please email them to serendipitycafe@hotmail.com , but keep the size small. Use medium quality jpegs.

The Library café was fine once we got in. There were some rough moments, waiting for the keymaster to let us in. After that, Kelsey was great on the café part, and Evan did OK at MC and ent. Head. The crowd seemed to be weighted toward the younger side and somewhat smaller than usual. […]

The First Night at the Library café went smoothly, and was well received. We have a project under way to record the café performances to put on CD’s and here. New staff members come to the meeting today. Here comes the thnickaman!

There just aren’t enough Saturdays. 2/29 not available 3/5 DT’s show, 3/12 Midsummer, 3/19 5 day weekend.

– Collected $142 for Tsunami Relief. How many want Saturday’s silly story on the web site? Raise your hands, one at a time, please.

– The 3/19 café was fine! Special thanks to Pet Boy Sherman for filling in for the missing members of Cripple Fight. Solid performances by the Gray Escape (Dave), The Early, Princeton Review and Dogwater. Alex Gorlick was awesome. I liked them all.

– the 4/30 café was small but intimate. The guitar piñata was pink, the cake was free and the music was in great variety. You should have been there.
