Blue Bird Performance... Lisa

Monday, July 7th, We visited the Blue Bird Cafe again. This time, ready to perform. We got there about 5:30 and there was a really long line outside the Blue Bird and no places to park. So we parked in a parking lot across the street, finally walked across and I put our name in the basket. We had a hard time finding seats, but luckily there was a table on the side of the stage that had four extra seats not taken. We sat down and met the couple who were already sitting there. He was a folk singer/story teller. When they read the order of the performances, we ended up being number ten. It was nice not to be too early in the night, but not have to wait an hour. We ended up singing Boots and Overcoat. I think everyone really liked it. That was nice.
The Blue Bird is just a really fun entertaining place on Monday nights. You never know what you're going to see. We heard all kinds of stuff- a song to the "other woman," cat jokes, daddy songs, tears in the audience, intense song on the keys, couple that sang abandonmemnt song, and Rachel's favorite, dreamcatcher on a man's back. Obviously there are stories to go along with all these... but I'll hold them in.
We didn't end up staying too much longer after we sang. Afterwards, we went out to eat with some of Noah&Ashly's friends at Mellow Mushroom. Then headed home.
We aren't sure when we will go back to the BlueBird but we definitely want to perform there again. Any requests for next time?
Anyways, thats our second BlueBird visit.
Be Blessed-Lisa
