You would have had to be there....

What a night; the Penguins won and I got to see a concert. But not just any concert, Sandy Miko in concert. Sandy Miko is this older dude that lives across from Doug and Candice Nelson. I am not exactly sure about what his occupation is, but his company slogan is "Handy Sandy," so take that as you will. I guess he can help a broad range of people with a broad range of jobs......(shudder)

Sandy had lights set up on his porch along with his terrible sounding acoustic guitar through an overdriven amp, a mic, and also about 200 sheets of music. Doug, Candice, Brody, and Me were the first ones to pull up chairs and start a fire to "take it all in" as he sang some original stuff along with some good ol "House of the Rising Sun," and "Peaceful Easy Feeling."

In between each set (one song), Sandy would clean his glasses because they are (apparently) perpetually dirty. Then he would take another chug of beer, another drag on the cigarrette, and then back to it.

This was an experience I will never forget. Words cannot describe how funny this was to me. As much as I dislike this town sometimes, it is a place that continues to make me laugh. You may not find this as funny as I did, you may have had to be there.

Peace.
