Thursday August 20, 2008 318 Music Cafe, Excelsior

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.....been a long time, 318, since  we packed you to the gills. It was so hot in there the candles were  melting...the UNLIT candles were melting. We saw lots of familiar faces....Ann and Duane, Bea & the Mayor...whoa..Kim and Boxer, Lee &
Heather, Team Q with Murph and The Other Dude, Drew and Susan, Aaron  ("Rasputin") and Natasha....Gesmes, Missy, Deanne, Pam C, elli R,  Molly "I have a badge" S,..we even had rock royalty Stymie of the late great Daisy Dillman Band there. Almost wed Christine and Brian, clubbin moms Jennifer, Lisa, Margie & Katherine. I know we are forgetting some of you. (uh, Gary East Westman, Jimmy Dean Armour, for example)...oh yeah Jon Kietzer-you were drinking beer-but anyway, if we missed you send us an  email at maeflies.com and we'll add you. Anyway it was fun and we're NOT telling the Fire Marshall just how
crowded it was...about half way thru Dead Flowers we all thought we saw a fire engine pull up but it was just a heat-induced team hallucination....

Thursday August 14 , 2008 Cities 97 Oake on the Water at Lord Fletcher's

Fire in the Sky. Your Maeflies set up the gear under a right blue Minnesota summer sky at Lord Fletchers on big ol' Lake Minnetonka for Brian Oake's live Thursday broadcast. How cool is that? Our selection as a Sun Country Minnesota Music selection for their in-flight music service has really been a trip. Man, now I know where everybody goes on Thursdays in the summer....Oake on the Water...Greg Burke, Twin Cities Club Crawl Guru and All American Rock Critic, was there...at long last we meet THAT VOICE. Our interview with Brian Oake was a just as cool in person as he is on the airwaves....he was thoughtful enough to include lots of Goodbye Sometimes cd's in his Oake give-away gear. THANKS for the support Brian and Greg...

Tues August 12, 2008 Humphrey Terminal with Sun Country Airlines and Cities 97

Whatchoo gonna end up being? How cool was it to start our gig by saying hello to Dan Wilson ( yeah, THAT Dan Wilson...Trip Shakespeare, Semisonic, Mr. Free Life....)?? Tim Mahoney and George Faber were hanging around, too. Anyway, we kicked off an hour and a half of Flies Tunes with Vertigo and never looked back....it was a great group of Cities 97 winners, Sun Country executives and of course a few gate crashing Maeflies regulars ( Molly, uh, wasn't flashing the badge a little over the top?) all partying at Fletcher's Wharf in the terminal. Cool idea...the Sun Country people ( and we mean you Heidi and Xan!!!) have epitomized Minnesota Nice for 20 years. We had a gas! Special thanks to Chris and Jim from Event Sound and Lights....you guys rocked for us.
