On 15 June we have a traveler from TN (Mark Stuart) stopping for a show; he comes highly recommended by Harry Oesterreicher (a personal favorite) and he’s a Tractor Tavern repeat defender.

After playing the Alley he’s heading to Klamath (13 hours of driving) for a show the following evening.  Rock and Roll!

Bring your friends, bring your families, bring your best potluck nibbles.  We are going to have a good time!

About five weeks for this first show of summer.  The more we interact on this Event the more likely our Fb group members will be to see it exists.  Surely it’s better they see this Event than that they see yet another vitriolic bot post?!

You might be asking yourself “Where in the world is Mark Stuart?”  I wonder if he’s been driving all night?  Life on the road, am I right?

Let’s check in with Mark Stuart and his journey across America, coming to join us!

We are under two weeks now.  What’s up with Mark Stuart?  Burned out tour van engine?  Airplane door fell off next your tour manager? Arrested for lewd behavior?

Sat-ur-day!  Sat-ur-day!  Peavine Alley is in Ballard and is easily located via Google Maps.  Park on the street and walk down the alley.  You cannot mistake us.  (If you’d rather enter from 24th, look for the orange porch light.)

Saturday is likely to be overcast here in Ballard with a high of maybe 60f. Sweater weather!  I’ll have my canopies in the wings in case, but rain seems unlikely.

Pork loin day 1 of 3:  The Brine!
16 juiced limes, salt, brown sugar, cloves

Pork loin day 2 of 3 (rub my loin):  salt, coriander, cloves, fennel seeds, smoked paprika, cayenne.

I expect rain.  I have 2 canopies and another on the way.  Wear layers!

The recommended donation is $25 per person, which entirely goes to Mark.  Give more your ship is in or whatever you are able if times are tough.

Nearly any question is answered here.

No rain; no storms!  Weather update all good!

Pork loin day 3 of 3:  slurry (lime juice and honey) and smoke (8 hours).

Thanks for another great show, everybody (and especially, of coure, Mark Stuart).  Also, special thanks to Bill Landon for the use of his 13×13 canopy:  huge.  We conquered the weather; we ate good food (especially deserts); and we enjoyed excellent music and music-related stories.  Summer season is officially opened.
