New Years

We don't have any pictures to prove it, but Galveston New Years was pretty fun. Gerald rented a house for his relatives, but they left early, so we took advantage of that and got in a day early. This gave us time to set up the house and get the food ready. The band (Mike and Lynn Burke on guitar and bass, respectively, Todd on drums, unfortunately) set up, and with the help of a borrowed snare and hi-hat and a sweet sounding new ride symbol the drumming was not too screwed up. By the time the party was rolling a good sized group was dancing. The hit of the evening was Giulio, our Roman friend, and his new bass jamming the blues. He was dressed all in black and really looked the part. Anyhow, the kids and grown ups didn't get to bed until 3. Bloody marys were somewhat helpful the next day. We're still paying for it.
