August 2, 2009 by Ro.
As predicted, August 1 is a sunny and beautiful summer day, perfect for the rescheduled Blues Cruise car show. Billed as “not the biggest, but the coolest” car show in NJ, it lives up to its name with dozens and dozens of very cool cars on display. Ro and Jeff, the motorheads in the group, enjoy examining the cars while Steve and Audrey seek out shade.
This is our third performance at this event and it is one of our favorite gigs. This year we get to perform while riding in the back of an antique truck! Ro is especially happy because the truck is painted a bright orange and the color will bring out the brassy shades in her newly-tinted hair. However, being the Seat Belt Queen, she is not unaware of the dangers of riding around on a bumpy lawn STANDING UP in the bed of an antique truck. She can envision the possibilities: one false move as the truck swerves to avoid a collision with some other antique vehicle and it will be Moderately Bright Mayhem as we fly through the air, clutching our wireless mikes and desperately try to stay on pitch and not die.
As always, Ro’s fears are not realized. It is great fun tooling around and singing to the people with their cars on display. There is a professional photographer there who manages to get a rare picture of the four of us in which we simultaneously look perky and cute. He is able to print the photo on various items, and Audrey and Jeff surprise Ro with a Moderately Bright Four mug. Now when Ro drinks her morning coffee, she can see Audrey, Jeff, and Steve smiling at her from atop an antique truck. There is no better way to start the day! Ro is concerned the first time she uses the mug that it might be some sort of trick mug in which hot liquids make MB4’s clothes disappear, but thankfully it is just a normal mug. It is truly a special and prized item and I’m sure there is some website out there where more can be ordered. Ro is thinking of perhaps having a complete set of MB4 dinnerware made.
