I will spend more time on social media when I feel a great yearning to fill the void within with click-bait and marketing algorithms.

16 July Friday Movie Night
Been a while since we saw a movie together.
19:00 BBQ
21:00 the sun goes down
Not without My Handbag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Without_My_Handbag
9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_(2009_animated_film)
Spy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_(2015_film)
A couple of animated films and an action comedy film.
Come grill something beforehand if you’d like. Certainly arrive before sunset to get a spot on the grass for the movies.
What to bring?
Seating: Camping chair, blanket, or similar. I have many to share.
Food: There is a grill available. I’ll make popcorn. If you have any special kitchen needs, send Jimmy a message or ask here.
Bevs: If you can sip it, it’s good. Share if you’d like.
Friends: Cool friends are great.
Pets: My cat has total dominion over the yard and is restricted by a 28 foot retractable leash. Fucking with the cat is a no-no. That is the most important pet rule.
Money: The show is free but you will likely want to donate to the Me (and I’m ok as I’m employed). We did have a new bulb fundraiser once.
Love: Bring it! Bring it all!
Remember, there is a 20f difference between day temps and night temps. Wear long pants, bring a jacket, do the layers. I do have several blankets but plan accordingly.
Definitely dress for chilly weather for when that sun goes down tomorrow evening.
If you plan to come for the pre-bq, let me know so I can plan accordingly. If you want to roast weenies, maybe ask here for someone to bring buns. “We’re all in this together, kid.” Ask me all the questions.
Things I hope to cook: a few sausages, a few ribs, a few chicken thighs, country scones, and a rice dish. And popcorn. Lots of popcorn.
Busy day… Scones, pie, sausages, chicken. Dishes.
Strange things happen in my kitchen, to be sure, but this is the first spontaneous cake.
Thanks to everyone for coming. Excellent movie conditions. We ended up skipping 9 (due to some technical difficulties after delays related to new equipment) and jumped from Not without My Handbag into Spy. Very much fun. Good friends, good food, good films. See you all at the next one!

2021 Big Boom Bash 3 July
Another Peavine day of freedom!
An all new lineup of returning musicians for this Welcome Back! show. The usual good times available for all.
Schedule listed below (times are estimates).
As usual it’s your basic picnic bbq potluck grassy gnoll sort of rock and roll show. All donations go to the musicians. We recommend $20 per person. Probably they will have stuff you can buy as well. I’ll post some links here and there below.
I will be making my usual (unusual) pork loin. Please do make comments here about what you are bringing so not everyone brings kale and quinoa salad. I mean, many of you COULD bring salad. But someone should probably bring something to go with it. What’s your preferred potluck portable comestible?
Questions? Ask them below or message one of the moderators!I’ll put together a schedule soon, but let’s name-drop for now: Jeffrey Martin Sheryl Wiser Jared Mitchell Earl Brooks
What to bring?
Seating: Camping chair, blanket, or similar. I have some to share.
Potluck: Can you make that thing you always love to make? That would be great for sharing! There is a grill available. If you have any special kitchen needs, send Jimmy a message or ask here.
Bevs: If you can sip it, it’s good. Share if you’d like. I always make iced-tea.
Friends: Cool friends are great. You want to invite a posse? Talk to Jimmy.
Pets: My cat has total dominion over the yard and is restricted by a 28 foot retractable leash. Fucking with the cat is a no-no. That is the most important pet rule.

Thank you thank you thank you! Thanks to everyone who participates in these events. This was our best Independence Day celebration yet. At least fifty-five humans in attendance. Excellent food. Supreme music. Perfect weather. Who could ask for a better holiday?
On the Internet no one knows you’re a dog, but when they find out they’ll dox and cancel your flea-bitten butt-sniffing ball-licking ass!
