A belated thanks to the mad dogs and Eden Prairieans who went out into the midday sun to celebrate all things AM1280 last Saturday at the Patriot Picnic at Starring Lake Park. Actually, as this picture shows, most of the 500 in attendance were wise enough to stay out of the sun and instead stayed in the shade up by the free chow (compliments of the Patriot and Three Brothers Catering).
On the positive side, the smattering of fans venturing down into the amphitheater seats did allow us sweltering on the stage below the impression we were recreating the Themeland Park jazz odyssey scene from This is Spinal Tap. As Captain Ed Morrissey excitedly remarked before we started the broadcast:
We're not going about to do a free-form jazz exploration in front of a festival crowd!
Oh, yes. Yes, we were.
