Bev and Mick (missing from pic because he was slaving over a hot barbeque - great pork tenderloin, buddy!) invited me on Friday night to dinner at their lovely condo, with friends both from England (Mick - yes, ANOTHER ONE) and Pamela, and M & M from Chelem, who have also invested in this lovely building, and so become neighbours as well as new friends.
The living room is very spacious and there are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and no less than 3 decks.
Saturday night was a double header. The final concert in the square, supposed to be on Friday night, which is a major fundraiser for the community, was preemted by a bishop, who rolled into town, did a service in the square and even put on a free dinner for the locals. So the concert was rescheduled to Saturday night and was an all out 4 hour extravaganza of entertainment.
Also on Saturday nights, of course is Cooker John's blues, accompanied this night by John Stewart, a hot sax player named Danny, Randy on bass, and a great keyboardist whose name I didn't get. The place was packed, as usual and it was an awesome couple of hours of music after I closed the bookstore.
