A highlight for me (but not for those listening!!) was Vikki, Suz, Richard Frey and I doing songs with Suz's ukulele. A lot of folks songs, some Simon and Garfunkel and... I may be the first person in history to ever do "Five To One" by The Doors Casey, you are so funny! I can now say that I've seen it all when you broke out in the Doors medley on Suz's ukulele! What a riot that was! You all are are so much fun and have so much energy. I can't remember the last time I was able to stay up that late!Vince, thanks for organizing the impromptu jam session by the piano! Al.. what can I say. I will never forget your strolling accordion (I dont think Suz will either!! ) Thanks everyone for such a memorable weekend!Rich

Well, home I am... My flight was pretty much on time except for one small delay.... This was a first for me. They couldn't take off because they didn't have plastic spoons for the yogurt they were offering. I sh*t you not! I was in a "spoon delay"... Now I've seen everything... Casey

Hey Everyone, it was really sad that I had to leave this morning and miss another day of great information and music. The Taxi members ROCK! It was such fun meeting as many of you from the forum that I could, and putting faces to names. You all are the best. What a great weekend. I may look a little different the next time you see me...I'm going to go write my butt off!Charlie

Yeah, we left at 12:30ish as we dashed for the LAX shuttle and Hollie said it happened so fast that she didn't get closure. I'm sorry I missed the evening festivities that everyone likely participated in. This year was twice as fun as last year because of all the great friends from the forum. Thanks to everyone for the great times and memories! (and drinks, Chuck!)

I want to spend more time with them whenever I can.BTW: rumors of me moon walking to Suz's rendtion of 'Billy Jean' are highly exaggerated..Cheers,ErichHah! That moonwalking was the highlight of the night for me! I'm bringing a silver glove to next year's rally just for you! And in other news, for those who missed it, Ted Fox won the prestigious "Brady Bunch Theme Song T-Shirt" for his Punk Rock rendition (accompanied by me on Uke) of "The Muffin Man." Here's proof (and, yes, the shirt does have most all of the melody and lyrics to the song on it):YAY!SuzP.S. Who knew ukes could be so uber cool?
