the band played at the santa claus house in north pole on saturday.
stressful because: (a) the stage (aka flat-bed truck: we are so alaskan) didnt show up, (b) we had no sound system besides the two amps we brought, (c) we were placed miiiiiiles from any group of people - which made (b) more of a problem, and (d) a lady called my djembe a bongo - she hurt its feelings.
really awesome because: (a) tons of people smiled as they walked by/through the band to get, (b) we were right next to hot licks and could smell the waffle cones baking, (c) a girl desperately wanted me to return her wave while i was playing the djembe, (d) an older guy 'secretly' videotaped us as he walked by three times, and (e) a toddler girl danced to our tunes and then gave me a rock.
it was a pretty rock, too.

Wow. I just realized it's been 15 years since I've been to North Pole. Last time I was there I bought a vial of crude oil from the Valdez spill to help raise money for the cleanup.
Do they still sell the one-inch plots of land?
i dont think theyre still doing that, no.
