I think I can safely say the Quad Cities Blue Thong Society, Mississippi Sisters were the best represented group of the night - well, except for the bands of course. Six of us attended the festivities to ring in Summer 2008. Dawn handed out a ton of my cute thong business cards. They were a big hit with the girls at the ticket table.

Four of us checked into our room at Stoney Creek Inn - sweet diggs! We had a room right on the main floor with a window overlooking the Bass Street Landing, where the concert was held. All wearing our Mississippi Sisters t-shirts, we grabbed a pizza at Bad Boyz and totted off to the concert. We met Dawn and her friend at the Landing. The first band played for about an hour but Cat Fight played a good couple of hours plus an encore. The crowd was small but enthusiastic and well worth fighting the early stormy weather to attend as the evening turned into the most perfect night.

Cat Fight finished about eleven so we went to the River House to hear the Blue Fuzzy Monkeys. They are a great up and coming band! They play a jazzy, bluesy sort of rock - fun to dance to. It is so rare to find a drummer who sings lead. They are local, so check them out sometime!

That band quit at midnight and we went to Bent River to hear another band, but they weren't quite our style and we did not seem too impressed with the Mississippi Blonde beer. Back to the Inn we stumbled. A dip in the hot tub sounded great, but it was already closed for the evening. All jammied and ready for bed, Rhonda accidentally (sure...wink, wink) hit the buy button and we were treated to an adult film. Well, we couldn't turn it off after she had to pay for it, now could we?

I was the first to rise the next morning. I went for a swim and met Pam in the Galley for a bite. She had to run. Cathy was off too. Rhonda and I stuck around for a little while and then followed suit. All in all it was a fun way to relive our teen years. I don't even feel tired...yet.
