this  one.  An amazing group of around 100 friends treated to a never
ending spread of  food that ranged from raw oysters and sushi to satay(sp?) and spring
rolls.   Fresh beer made by ???; IPA, Pale Ale, Amber, and Heffewizen.  Boy
were we  bummed when the beer ran out!.  Of course being in Mill Valley the
wine and cheese  were also in abundance.  What more could you ask for?  How about our
favorite  band New Monsoon!  new monsoon 11-20-2004 Tamalpais Valley Community Center Mill Valley, CA  Set I 6:54pm Sweet Brandywine Blue Queen Potato's Mission  Velvet Pouch Daddy Longlegs Rocksprings Road Gelstream Happy Birthday Stella -Stella's talk- Bongo Bong (1) 8:01pm  Set break Circle...too many people to fit into a single circle.  Had
to have  an "inner circle" to accommodate everyone.  Old friends told stories
and  shared memories and love of Stella with everyone.  Very nice.  Set II 8:57pm Clinging (Correction, is Rope Ladder) Continental Divide Painted Moon-> Banjo Mando Jam-> Mountain Air Lotus Dream Can't Find My Way Home 10:03pm  E) 10:07pm Bo's Blues ~10:18pm  Note: Sandy was the MC for the evening.  Due to a scheduling conflict Ben Bernstein played only the first
set, having  to leave to cover a previously scheduled engagement.  Phil Ferlino
held down  the bottom on keys for set II reminiscent of the Winter of 2004. == Jim is a Nice Fella!   I mis-called Lotus once or twice and finally got it thrice. Jim
told me he  was going to put my lotus miscall in there. Jim, I'm an honest man.
Had to  tell the crowd here...:) Heck, the LDream Tease was goin for a while
before they  went there. NM is really* really sounding dialed these days. Playing
together  almost everyday is really showing in every way. Pix to follow. Lots
of cameras  last night. Stella you are a princess. The Stories prove That! Was
that  captured on DAT? Priceless. I think I heard "Beam" tell me that
Sandy had a BD  patch. That might be the only source. Thx Stella & Sandy!  Family Love pouring out of Mill Valley last night! Gotta love the
early  Start! Call me Old, It's OK....  ~Chip in Truckee by 8:30AM!   [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]     To unsubscribe from this e-mail list simply send a message to
