Celebration on the Backlot was a Success

Thanks Davis!

It was a sweet Saturday fall evening, perfect temperature, the stages were up, Jim, Cliff and Doc had us wired for sound. Autumn brought it all together, as only Autumn can: Pete with permits; Jeff spray painting signs; Darrick taking inventory; Rod vacuuming; Tree setting out fresh cut veggies from Farmer’s Market; fairy lights; hot dogs on the grill; chips and salsa from Dos Coyotes, and the kegs, so generously donated by Sudwerk and the Coop, resting in a bed of ice.

The Waldorf fiddlers were there, along with the bands Aesthetic Cling*, ***The Essentials***, ***The Smoke Shovelers***, ***The West Nile Ramblers*** *and* *Hardwater, and I was proudly wearing one of our new KDRT 95.7 shirts made right here at Inkmonkey … all we needed was you.

And you came … on foot, on bikes, in cars, until the whole back lot was alive with laughter and really great music, with singing and dance, dance, dancing, in a celebration of all things local.

Thanks Davis!

Thanks for reminding us in such a fun way that the local grassroots efforts of KDRT and DCTV have a soul in this town, and that our volunteer efforts really do help bring this community together for a smile and a song.
