Drew Too, the lovely Nikki, and their daughter Kaitlyn joined me and my daughter Charlotte for dinner, drinks (for the adults), and much discussion of music tonight at the Firehouse Grill in Cincinnati, The girls shared games on their tablets, while the adults delved into the return of the Afterword website, albums vs. shuffle, and sports ( it is baseball’s opening day and college basketball’s tournament final here today).
Artists discussed included Jason Isbell, Shelby Lynne, Sturgill Simpson, The Lone Bellow, The Flaming Lips, and Public Service Broadcasting. Other topics included travels in Venice (Drew had just been, me 30 years ago), a Michigan folk festival, and politics in Indiana. A very enjoyable evening for all!
We were not quite sure how many mini mingles have been held, but we do know it is always a good time when we can get together. The next will probably be around Thanksgiving, so Dai and some of you other members of the Massive within driving distance should mark your calendars now!
I’ll post a picture when my 14 year old shows me how, unless Nikki beats me to it!
Another Magnificent Midwest Mingle!
Sounds great Curtis. Shame it’s so far!
You are an inspiration. I wonder If the Stockholm contingent will ever manage one!
Not to mention the Sydney one. Its mono-mingle land here.
I’m in the DC/NoVa area. It takes (at least) two to mingle!
I’m just outside Philadelphia. May be coming your way this summer. Let me know if your travels bring you in this direction…
Shall do
Well Si and ivy, I hope we can be the inspiration for a Maryland Mini Mingle this summer.
I’m still trying to post a picture of our recent get together from my iphone. It has defeated both me and my 14 year old, but I’m not giving up yet!
