COMFEST REPORT - Sunday!

Sunday morning, 8:00 to 12:00 was my regular Recycling/Clean-up (trash) detail – hot and tiring for the old man, but COMFEST gives and we give back – and virtue is its own reward. Besides that, it’s a great treat to work with Bill Finzel!

This year, Sondra volunteered to help the aged Uke Man, and together - for four hours - we wrestled the results of glass-holes, trashifiers, and litter-ally unaware citizens. It was a tough fight, Mom, but we won!!!

By the end of our time filling the barrel, the Uke Man was a little dizzier than normal; so, it was time for beer!! I bought a Yellow COMFEST Mug (new color for my collection) and downed several mug-fulls sitting at Jon & Karen’s oasis, the Retro 1 Booth ( http://www.retro1.com/ ).

At last, and regretfully, it was time (and the joints were satisfactorily lubricated) to bid adieu, hobble to the car and start healing.

“Hi. My name is Uke Man, and for the coming year I’ll be a recovering COMFESTaholic, missing it one day at a time.”
