We Rocked. We Romped.

Saturday we had another beautiful day and another great Rock-n-Romp. What's new, right? For some reason I was really nervous the night before--probably because we had planned some extras--and could hardly sleep. The fact that Warren was up working til 5am on a presentation he had to make at 11am on Saturday morning didn't help matters! But everything came together like it always does and we had a successful event that was fun for everyone.



The Goodnight Loving came all the way from Wisconisn to Rock-n-Romp. (Before the show they hung out and played frisbee!) What a treat!



Lauren Rae Holterman, of the Rozelle Artists Guild, organized a couple of temporary mural projects for the kids. Paint + Kids = Super Happy Fun Times. A Junkyard volunteer brought some tees for the kids to wear so they didn't get (too much) paint on their clothes.




Other romping was in full swing.




Next up, Evil Wizard Eyes put the ROCK in Rock-n-Romp.



Some rompers accompanied them on our Junkyard Amadinda.



Next, Jeffrey James and the Haul came out to rock the yard. (This was their second Rock-n-Romp performance. The first was at our one and only rained out show that got moved indoors, so they were loving the near perfect weather.)




(Not sure how Chip managed to get a picture of Jeff Hulett NOT smiling--he's the smilingest guy in town!)

Meanwhile, Lauren Rae Holetrman and Derrick Dent of HolterDent Caricatures set up a caricature station, which was a hit for both parents and kids.




Then much to our delight, The Goodnight Loving came back for a second set (and to model their new RnR tees!).



Thanks again to the Junkyard for letting use their amazing yard; Lauren, Derrick and the other Rozelle volunteers for entertaining the kids; and everyone who showed up to support local music!

See you at the next show, July 11th!
