Waking up around 11:50 a.m.
Cereal with Blueberries and Almond Milk.
Catching up on business and promoting the show for tonight.
Searching for a vest at the thrift store but no luck. Instead I employ Ronnie to borrow his ruffled shirt and vest from last year.
Packing up and driving out to Norfolk.

PB&J. Coffee.
Tonight is the big night for Fleetwood Massacre. We’re here at Smartmouth setting up for the Halloween Rock n Roll Revue featuring October Gurls (Big Star), George Harrison’s Ghost Band, and us. I spend a lot of time working on logistics on stage and figuring out how to rig the iPads and cameras in the back to live stream the entire show.
...
Both bands before us perform a tight set of songs. The crowd is all seated and socially distanced with masks on anytime they’re moving around. It works out pretty well in that regard.
Then, we hop on stage and do an hour’s worth of Fleetwood Mac. Everyone of us jives together and everything comes together in the end with a few hiccups. So much energy and liveliness. We were fortunate to recruit Chris Remaley to help out on drums for a couple songs – he fits in perfectly.
