The big tent is up for the 25th year straight, and last night there was a soiree. I was allowed onstage in my boots to speak a word or two (among other things, I read an excerpt from Truck describing my first-ever visit to the Big Top to see a Greg Brown show in company of the woman who would eventually consent to be my wife). The tent looked great (so, so much work goes on behind the scenes to prepare everything) and we were treated to wonderful food, conversation, and music. Thanks to everyone involved, and a special thanks to those who give that bit of extra that keeps the whole canvas deal up and running. There were a lot of you there last night.
Gonna be up there in the tent several times this summer. Looking forward to it.
