Minor Mishap Marching Band and PEELANDER-Z at springdale farms
it's really the day AFTER sxsw 2013. and Springdale Farm is normally a working farm. and by now, most people have had enough and will take that day of rest, but I'm insatiable. I woke up and organized our trip to the farm.
Chicken Ranch Records was having a SXSW closing party... or family jamboree.
they even had free brooklyn lager, but we brought our own picnic and avoided the line.
#2 son and I watched the Minor Mishap Assemble so we could march along with them.
as I marched along with the band, I danced with Peelander Yellow!
Minor Mishap took to the stage and played a few songs while #2 son and I walked around the farm. then, I noticed Minor Mishap leaving the stage... then, I noticed they had RE-assembled around my picnic blanket! I pushed my way through the crowd, I knew the daughter and #1 son had been there reading.
I was surprised to find #1 son STILL reading. when he is reading, he doesn't notice the world around him. I tapped him, "hey! check it out, there's a big-ass drum being banged behind your head".
daughter was pretty casual about the whole thing as well. kids in austin are spoiled, live music EVERYWHERE, even on our picnic blanket.
shared our beer with our favorite washboard player.
peelander spaceship landed...
#2 son was very impressed! he said "the heros are here!" (he's been watching their Ninja High School video) he got the VIP access. he could have gotten on stage with the band, but he refused.
taco, taco, taco, taco, taco si yay!
before he jumped, he said "HEY, I ROOKA RIKE A LOCK STAR UP HERE"
he mounted the speaker on our side of the stage, but it wasn't strapped down. he was afraid.
they asked for volunteer musicians from the audience. some guy took the bass, another volunteer took over the drums, and our washboard playing friend ROCKED the guitar.
