Sunshine Cindy and I got there Thursday afternoon and got checked in. We saw good friends Barry and Kathy from Lake Charles. Thursday was spent catching up with old friends and making new ones. We ended up going to Tootsies at Pier Park for some music. Sunshine Cindy and I were there with Tonya, Dave, Kat, Steve and Debbie. We had a good time and got back to the room about 12:30 am. We sat outside and ended up talking to a tourist from Canada about hockey and one of the bartenders from the Barefoot Beach club.
Our tent on the beach before the storms trashed it
Friday was a great day. The weather was perfect. We set up on the beach and welcomed our local Parrotheads as they made it there. The music was great with Capt. Josh, Brent Burns and The Boat Drunks. You could not ask for a better day. We were up till past 2:00 am with friends.
Saturday the weather was as bad as it was good Friday. Storms blew in all day. Most of the music was washed out on the beach. They put Gene Mitchell and the Barefoot Man upstairs in the Barefoot Beach Club. It is small but everyone made the best of it. We threw a party in our room with Larry boiling shrimp. A bunch of other food was there and we all dodged raindrops as the party continued. Later some musicians did an acoustic jam under an overhang. It was a lot fun. This turned into another late night as we partied with some folks from Texas who were in the room above us.

Sunday it cleared out again. We had another great day on the beach. More wonderful music. We passed around Sunshine Cindy's drunk fruit to rave reviews. Finally in the evening we went with Larry, Brodie, Barry and Kathy to dinner at the Back Porch. Good food and good conversation made a nice close to the party. Finally today we packed up the two vehicles and headed home. It was a fun weekend. We can't wait to do it again!
Till Thursday...
