Heard Bluesfest was good and the after-party at The Club was amazing. Dave Chastain was in town and blew people away during a jam session ... no surprise there, Dave is one of all-time great guitar players, a true Illinois and Midwest legend.
Working for Gus in Champaign was .... hot. Sticky. Sweaty. A lot of fun. Gus and I did Dream Court games Saturday and mostly just laughed at ourselves. Sunday I was on my own and the teams, parents, officials, organizers, Champaign Park District, everybody was great.
The CPD organizes the event around West End Park and it ranks up there with one of the most beautiful settings for a Macker.
Only one case of idiots getting out of control, and later I might post on the distinctly urban feel of the tournament, much like Springfield, which I think is a great thing.
Nine more days and then it's vacation time .... these are the toughest days of all, I think, except for the day after you get back.
And ... big bash at the OLC Friday night!

We had a blast at Bles Fest but Macker refreshes YOUR mind and soul. Consider them mini vacations!
