The show is at an outdoor bandshell located outside of town in a park with a fake farm; it looks like a toy blown up to life-size.
There's a botanical garden with carnivorous plants on display. I thought it would be a white wine-and-brie picnic crowd (as Todd put it) but there are some youths. Soon enough, the whole place is up and dancing.
David Wild and his wife Lulu say, "Hi." We worked together on lots of videos and films in the past and now he's a successful ad director based out of Seattle. He half jokingly talked about the loveliness of Michigan, painting it as an Arcadian paradise. And he knew that “the woman of my dreams,” as he put it, would have to appreciate Michigan. I guess he found her.
Arlene G, former art department head of Warner Bros. Records, says hi. She's retired, I guess. She worked with Tibor and the band on lots of covers, special projects and display items. Always supportive and fun, she came with Anthony Keidis’ mom(!), who repeats more than once “Anthony is a good boy.”
There's a walkway through the nearby swamp which was fun to ride through on the bikes.
