Happy show day, Hunky Dorians!!! We're excited to welcome LUNDE to the backyard.

We're getting lovely showers this morning, but they're supposed to clear up around noon and the chance of rain the rest of the waking day is pretty low. As of now, we're planning an outdoor show. We'll only go inside if we have to. Group 2 folks - keep an eye on this space in case the weather turns. See y'all later!

Potluck: For this show we'll fire up the grill for our annual hot dog bar (Michelin star rating pending). Anything pairs well with hot dogs, so use your vivid imaginations and stir up your favorite salads, dishes, and desserts.
---
As always, doors open and potluck begins at 6:00. Feel free to bring potluck offerings shortly before, but PLEASE DO NOT PLACE CHAIRS OR BLANKETS BEFORE 6:00. As noted above, the potluck theme is Summer Salads - but we're happy with anything you bring. Reminder that if you bring your own chairs, make sure they're modestly-sized so we can fit people comfortably on the hill. Thanks!

Pictured is the custom show poster we've created for our Hunky Dory Wall of Fame (click to see entire poster). If you'd like your own copy of this 11x17 poster (all proceeds going to the musicians), please Venmo or PayPal $5 (by Tuesday at 5:00) through the normal Hunky Dory channels. We'll have the posters for you at the show, where I'm sure the band will be happy to sign them for you.

Notes:
* Inclement Weather Policy - If there's light rain we'll play on. Please bring rain-appropriate attire if it looks like rain. If the weather gets dangerous, we will have to move the show inside the house. We should have let you know when you reserved which group you were. If the weather's iffy and you're not sure, just message us.
* Group 1: The first 50 of you to have reserved seats are in Group 1. That means that you will be able to see the show even in the event dangerous weather forces the show indoors.
* Group 2: After the first 50, reservations are made in Group 2, which means that if dangerous weather forces the show indoors we'll have to refund your reservation because we can't fit everyone inside the house.
* Food & Drink - The typically awesome Hunky Dory potluck starts at 6! As usual, we will provide some wine and beer. If your tastes are more refined, feel free to BYO.
* Viewing - The backyard has two viewing areas – one right in front of the band at ground/patio level, and one in the grass/dirt lawn and mulch above the boulder wall. Seats are first-come-first-served. We recommend getting here when doors open if you want to get your favorite spot.
* Seating - We’ll provide some stools and chairs on the lower level, but consider bringing modest-sized camp chairs to sit in, or blankets for sitting on the mulch.
* There’s a lot of foliage (annuals, perennials, etc.) near the patio. Please be respectful and careful around the greenery.
* We encourage you to bring some cash for tees, CDs, LPs, etc! As always, we'll provide an optional tip jar if you want to help more but don't need one more band t-shirt!
* There are very few street parking spots in front of our house. There are many on Princeton Ave, though, at the bottom of our little cul de sac.
* If you still (or again) need the address - or have any other questions - please let us know. You can reply right to this email.

Sorry for the delay in posting the photo album – I spent a fun weekend in Appleton at Mile of Music and watching Zevon in his first gig at The Plus on Friday night.
Thanks to Jim Ivory Photography for all the great shots he provided – just a fraction are here. It was his first time shooting for us and I emphasized capturing the vibe. I think he did great! It was a hot summer night, but Nathan Graham brought the chill.

When: Saturday, July 25
Doors: 6:00 pm
Potluck: 6:00 pm
Music: 7-9ish pm; Two 45-minute sets with a 30-minute intermission

Non-AI-generated post highlights:

* This show is SOLD OUT and there is a WAITLIST. So if for any reason you have reservations and you're unable to attend, let us know ASAP and if someone else can take them we can offer you a refund.

*We learned today that Nathan lost a bandmate for this date, so it may be another amazing solo show rather than another amazing band show.

* Potluck: Given the weather lately, we're going with a "Summer Salad" theme. Feel free to bring whatever you want, but we'd love to see your favorite salads - vegetables, fruits, chicken, macaroni, beans, rigatoni, seashell pasta, shrimp, potato, quinoa, orzo, bulgur, jello - whatever you fancy, besides Cyclospora-laden greens (and, of course, cheese!). We'll still have a place for your crockpot dishes, if that's your vibe. AND DESSERTS!

* LUNDE - August 29: There are still seats available for this outdoor show. Payment options below. Get yours now!

* October 3: Watch your email Sunday for the beginning of the email list pre-sale for the October 3 indoor show!
