we had another successful open mic night last night. i counted 107 people, and thats not bad. thats almost 1/3 of the town! a lot of people participated, singing or playing their intraments. the best part was that everyone was really good. i did my part by staying behind the dessert bar and drinking. thats my best talent. of course, i practice as much as possible, thats why i am so talented. for the summer, i think the open mic nights will be held outside on the back deck. we may haveto wait until july though to ensure warmer weather. our derby party was fun too. the mint julep truffles were a big hit. next up is the preakness. i'm not sure if a black eyed susan truffle would taste good, but i think i can come up with something.
