Finally got a chance to go through my photo's from the show on Sunday In Danbury, Ct. at the taste of Danbury festival...this was supposed to be a two day outside festival--but tropical storm hanna had other plans. We drove up through torrential downpours and had we known how bad the roads and flooding were gonna be, we might not have gone...

Got to the Ethan Allen Hotel in time to change for the show and grab a burger at the Mac-donalds drive thru-too wet to even go out in the rain! Tried to get to the venue, but the main road was flooded under a train trestle, and so, we just kind of winged it to the venue--Tuxedo Junction in downtown Danbury--I had been there before--nice venue--good sightlines and sound...Only about 100 folks showed up, but the show was still free. It was great to finally hear Jon Micelli on the drums, as Jules Radino was on paternity leave and Jon was off the road from his regular gig with Meatloaf. Dont have any pictures from that show...sorry!

Afterwards, had a few drinks at the bar with the boyz and then had fun reading palms for a wedding party that was also staying at the Ethan Allen--fun times--hope they enjoyed the beer i gave them after the bar closed! :)

Next day, and Hanna was completely gone--had a great time at the festival--amazing how many young kids were rocking out to blue oyster cult--especially dont fear the reaper--which has gained some notoriety from the saturday night live cowbell skit! Aaron even had to sign autographs as the cowbell dude!

Blue Oyster Cult is now off to Europe again for a tour to france, monaco and Italy--wish i could have gone--but i had a Mets game! Gotta set those priorities! :)

Hugs! You wicked ROCK! Oystergirl!
