Remember I mentioned about going to hear Pat (my guy!) and his band, Pass The Pepper Jack, at a local club in Memphis? Well, they played on Wednesday evening. Jill, from Amy's, joined me to hear the music... we had fun.
Here's a photo of Pat before they began playing. It was Biker Night. Great turnout. The Sidecar Cafe is conveniently located next to the Harley-Davidson business, and is also across the street from the Victory business. Talk about location, location, location!

The night was also exciting because the International Space Station flew overhead at 8:28PM. The sky was clear and we saw it for the 4 minutes it was visible. Did you know you can see the ISS with your naked eye? All you need is their schedule, a clear night, and being in the path route. You can check your location with this website. (I have the link synced with Memphis; you can see where you are and adjust accordingly.) Here's one other interesting fact: it takes 90 minutes for the ISS to travel around the earth. Awesome.
Later in the evening, a new group of Bikers entered. OMG! What beautiful pieces of machinery. Jill and I stopped our needlepoint conversation and were in awe. We had to check it out! We met the owner/maker of the bikes you see in this video. Nice man. He makes Custom bikes... like $40,000 custom. Very informative. As they were getting ready to leave, I remembered my little travel camera had a video feature... if I had known it would turn out so good, I would have filmed them longer... but you get the idea.
It was a fun evening. Thank you, Jill for joining me.
Enjoy your upcoming new month with Dr. Acula. He's quite a guy. Amy's e-newsletter will be online tomorrow. Those of you who receive the Constant Contact announcements will get the heads-up first. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you... I got my confirmation message from TNNA that I will be teaching 2 classes at the 2011 Long Beach Winter Market: a Zecca canvas called
Thanks, Robin
Many congratulations on the classes. But they'd be nuts not to ask you, Robin.
ReplyDeleteThe bike show sounds wonderful. I will forward the link to Stepson who is motorcycle crazy. Now I'm off to stare at the Canvas Candy motorcycle and leather jacket set....

Guess I need to stitch these for him. Time to start saving up.
Hi Jane. Great to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteThe Canvas Candy sets (canvas & ornament) are the best gifts. There is one lady I know who is giving the blown glass ornament to the recipient this year, and will stitch & give the finished canvas to the same recipient next year. We will look forward to sharing your "Biker Experience" with all in Chilly Hollow.
