Last year, troubadour contestant Louise Mosrie was found stumbling around Town Park without a clue of what she was doing. She had just arrived to town, and knew that she was supposed to go to Town Park to camp. That’s about the extent of her knowledge. We (the members of the soon to be officially named “Camp MUST (have)STASH”) took this girl under our wings and helped her survive. We got her a place to set up her tent, helped set it up, welcomed her into our party tent, made her sing for her supper, and generally made a friend for life.
The reason for writing is that, even though some of the Troub’s are already Town Park vets, some come from all over the country into a strange situation and could use some help.
Maybe there’s a way we veteran camps could “adopt a Troub”. Have Planet Bluegrass send us a list of people who are coming, and make some connection before their arrival to make their transition smoother. After all, they’re totally thining about the contest, and they could definitely use some help getting their camp together.
How 'bout it? PB - can you provide a list and, after we volunteer to adopt, give us their contact info prior to the fest?
John - When Chris came home I told him about your idea and he said “Didn’t that happen last year?” He totally remembered talking about this with you! He agrees - great idea! We’ll adopt one! :thumbsup
See, this is what’s wrong with the world today. This is where Ron is supposed to say something completely out of line, and we all get to slap him with a “SUR!!”
Hell, I thought I’d just put it out there. I don’t need any mamby pamby wimpy guys. I need some muscle to haul shit.
Eye candy and a soulful singing voice go a long way, so maybe just don’t show yourself till my truck is unloaded and the kitchen is set up. Bring booze.
Besides, how was that completely out of line!??? - I didn’t make any boob references whatsoever and its the absolute truth. I will absolutely show a newby troub from out of town all over the place, as he’s carrying things for me.
And…if a girl wants to do it, I’ll show her all over the place as she’s carrying my stuff. Shirt optional.
If you’re a super duper hot muscley troubadour who needs assistance - perhaps my shirt will be optional. I’ll be taking auditions at the Goddess Walk.
