We're Talkin bout a Who's Who's in Blog World...

All gathered in one place, at one time.
(and when I say "Who's Who"... I mean.. just the people I know... from the few other blogs, I follow... so maybe it's not headline worthy news... but still, sorta big-time.. like, just within my world.)
Saturday's Rt 66 BBQ Contest/Springfest Event. (FYI- Adding Gala or Event makes it awesomer.)
A group of people, still trying to make an IMPACT, gathered for several meetings and exchanged too many texts or emails... all for planning a cool event, to keep our town cheerfully involved. Totally not for any real profit. Just for good ol' fashioned Family Fun.

Let's review the cast:

Grammy- Head of Just About Everything Springfest Involved including The Too Many Emails Branch.  Instrumental in driving me sorta crazy while trying to book the entertainment.  Also, fundamentally crucial in keeping and organizing countless lists of important duties, essential to Family Fun Time (for example- making sure event is insured, or said event has Porta Potties and booking adorable Face Painter) Because seriously.. cute kids walking around in face paint EQUALS Family Fun.

The Commish- Famously hosted several meetings, while our young children ran wild and unsupervised in his basement, while we strategized.  Also.. a kinda sorta big deal organizing the BBQ contest portion.

Moi- Booking the first several hours of the stage.
Including Mind Blowing Acts such as:
Awesome local singers (specifically a new and soon to be famous Duo act of The Teacher aka a girl whom can REALLY sing.. paired with our guitarist Chili D aka Jimi-First Time Eva to the Big Stage Nervous Belly-Hendrix)
Moi also- Leading the MOST adorable kids in a Children's Yoga Demo at 11:30am. With stars including but not limited too: Shortcake, Tink, Punkin, Coco, Joy, Bella Bella, EmmaLynn...etc.
AND Moi hosting a BlacKbird yoga sTudios booth, with various items for sale. (shameless plug.) 


Other Booths will include the Infamous Artwork by our very own Warhol (not to be mistaken with the ACTUAL Warhol... though frankly, our Warhol is infinitely more impressively talented and only half as weird.) Items for sale.. and the opportunity to pin stripe, practically anything... bikes, baseball helmets, bats, beer huggies, Barbies... Whatev..
 
(This kind of detail may cost a lil more... unless helmet belongs to a super cute niece. Then it costs only one kindred smile.)

Not to mention,
A Booth by Bird.
A Booth by my incredibly talented cousin CW.
Cute Bartending expert Coach (out of retirement)
Lil Jump Rope Show, with too many cute girls.  Galway Girl, LuLu and Owl included.
A bounce house and other awesomeness organized by I Used to Be a Hooker (a surprisingly sweet girl, with a dirty.. dirty... blog name)
A performance by The Bride's Baby Daddy and band.
A performance by this group Flag Girl fancied herself a groupie of (Marcos and co.) before of course, she groupied herself onto Chili D/Slash.
Listen. Bottom Line.
Saturday is gonna be an AWESOME time.
Everyone cool is gonna be there.
A Mini-Harvest Days, within a fence, with Spring Time Family Fun had by all. Can I get a Whoot Whoot or Holla Back if you are excited!

These white boxes keeping popping on your blog that make it hard for me to read.
Here I am in AZ I have NO IDEA what talent you have lined up OR what specifically you are responsible for.
As if I don’t have enough anxiety… thanks blogger.

Arizona - You need to double click on the title of the blog. That will pull up the blog of the day and the white boxes go away.
I am super excited about everything happening on Saturday. More vendors, more BBQers, more entertainment, more e-mails (love organizational e-mails), more lists (my family knows I love a good list). Bring lawn chairs and sun glasses. We are going to have an amazing day!!!!

You know why I don't believe that Gramma G? You have too many talented kids. Plus, I have seen your sewing. That is HUGE! You just have not tapped into your talent. It has to be there.

Gramma-
First, you are SUPER talented at growing amazing babies.

Second, I'm hoping to make some money, off your sewing talent tomorrow!!

Third, I'm probably gonna need your Gramma talents as well, as my children run wild.
