..And did well both nights. Both were 2 sets as it turned out, We sold CD's both nights and got fed as well as paid. I call that a success! This morning I'm a bit worn and I'm looking at 6 hours' work with less than usual enthusiasm, but I'll make it ok.
Friday was an outdoor thing on a farm 20 miles north of here. Flatbread Friday. Nice folks, good food, beautiful eve with enough breeze to keep the skeeters away. Last evening we were scheduled to play 3 hours at a pub on the edge of Burlington and we went in and the place was so small we just did acoustic. Less work for sure. Small audience but a few really liked our stuff. The place closed early since there were big doings downtown which took patrons from our venue. No biggies, we were home before 11! Both nights we sold a CD!
Livin' the Dream Folks!

West side of the state about halfway between the southern border with NY or Mass and Quebec to the north.

Thanks for the extra geographic info, otherwise I might have thought Burlington, WASHINGTON, WISCONSIN or IOWA, and not Vermont. And too, quite possibly ONTARIO, Canada..... I'm sure they're ALL nice though. Whitefang

Or North Carolina. Or California.
Pretty much every place we've played there has been food as part of the perks. The vendors at the farmers markets filled 2 big bags with produce etc., the burger stand whipped out 2 1/3 pounders of rich grass fed beef, the Savage Garden gave us wood fired pizza, and the pub threw in a big bacon cheeseburger and covered a couple of libations for Jo. This is a good thing. I think we've been eating much better quality than in some of our travels. My waist is up an inch or more. Need some new duds!

Well it looks like the end of the gigs maybe for this season, so maybe I'll drop a pound or 15.

I saw you listed a couple OTHER Burlingtons, so I thought, (in amusement) Man! They have them COAT FACTORIES all OVER the place. Eh? Whitefang

Funny aside- Yesterday we had a little while to kill before getting to our next destination in Burlington so Jo put Coat Factory in Google and it ran us all over town. No business by that name to be found!
