Thanks to Betty Bean for organizing the KnoxViewers night out. It was a great evening of conversation, music, and adult beverages.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, including SayUncle, Steve of Whites Creek, Bill Lyons, Betty Bean, JAH, Rikki, Bob Stepno, Stan G., and FactChecker/Hobart (whose brother was one of the performers and a great guitar picker), Mrs. FactChecker (later at the show), Dixie Bell, and SnM & DnB. We also ran in to Michael and Lil' Amy outside on the patio. It was a pleasure seeing everyone, and finally getting to meet some of you in real life for the first time.

All the performances at the "Forever Young" Dylan birthday concert were excellent. Maggie Longmire is an amazing singer, and so is Will Horton, a 17 year old up and comer to keep an eye on. There was a good turnout, too. I'd estimate 150 to 200 people. It was standing room only, and Betty Bean knew just about everybody there, including Randy Tyree who spotted her and came over to talk. Smart politicians apparently know who to keep on their good side.

Anyway, nice seeing everyone, and we'll have to do this again sometime.

(P.S. And as is frequently the case with these types of get togethers, there was some pretty good gossip that will soon be news. Three stories, that I can recall. But they are on the QT for now. I guess you had to be there!)
