"was it the anticipation of Zomby Woof's new book, "Autoflower Girls That I Have Known"?
Great idea, musashi! A pictorial book, as posting a picture is worth more than typing 1,000 words. I had the perfect opportunity recently. I had a rather unexpected party at my house and all the autoflower girls, past and present, would be there including many other pretty girls that I hope someday I will convert to an autoflower girl. The week before, the area's best and most popular jam band called and asked if they could put on a show in my yard. Free show. They would play for free, take care of lights, and a soundman, I've worked with a couple of the guys for 30 years so they knew I had a well and septic tank so they would order a Porta-John, and bring tents, tables, food, just let them know what was needed for a great party and they would take care of it. An offer I couldn't refuse?
I knew the band had been asked to play that night in one of the area's more popular venues. Why would they turn down a gig that pays money to play a gig that does not pay money? Was it the autoflower girls? Being a small part of the music scene for the past 50 years I always thought it was the other way around. You had to call a band to play at your house and offer them the world. An offer they couldn't refuse. As a betting man, I thought in terms of how a betting man might make this decision. I said to myself, "I bet I'll have a great time". Good enough. Let's have a party! As the party would start at 7pm I would be shooting in a lower light level than I am used to so I grabbed my photography book and looked that up. I wanted to get some nice pics of the autoflower girls holding their plants!
'Raisinhead' setting up on my lawn. In the background you can see the Porta-John they rented sitting in front of my house. So close to the road that when you open the door a passing car might take it off!
Ted's groovy pants! Had to send to England for them as there is no style in America!

Ted's groovy pipe! Made in America by a friend!

Soundcheck with Ted's groovy pants and pipe!

Audience seating for the expected crowd!
It turns out that was the last pic I took that day! Sorry. I'll post up some pics from the autoflowers girls' websites. As the guests started arriving it is customary for the women to give me a good strong hug. Hugs, like handshakes, can be either weak and limp like shaking hands or hugging a dead fish or a good hug is like a good handshake, strong and firm. Like you mean it. When a woman gives you a good strong hug you should come away from it with a smile on your face and good idea of her bra size!

A good hug also makes a woman smile. She knows what she just did. Even married women like a good hug. Even though they won't cheat on their husband they like to feel sexy and attractive to men other than their husband. I can help with that! Not all woman have been taught to hug correctly but I am always there to help! Women are very fast learners!!!
When the first female guest came to give me a good hug, we started to hug and…OUCH! WTF? The damn camera hanging on my chest gave us a good poke. Off came the camera and I never put it back on. This time I got a real hug and walked away with a smile on my face and if I was a betting man, I'd bet she was a size 34B!
At some point during the party, I saw Kelly talking to Cat Seyler and wanted to be a part of that conversation. 2 of the sexiest girls at the party(to me). First, a quick story and back to the party. Cat was not invited to the party; I've never invited Cat to a party but she's has been to every one of them. Most guys think Cat is the prettiest girl in town. I don't know but I sure as hell ain't asking her to leave. Not before a good hug anyway. Cat is a well-known artist in the area and has made her living selling her art work for the past number of decades. Like many artists, she is very reclusive and private. Hard to get a picture of her when you took your camera off! So, I grabbed this pic from her 'Etsy store'. She sells her 'little' stuff' there and the bigger stuff is sold at art auctions. The first picture Cat is in the middle with a blue hat. The two pictures to the right are the Cat we all know and love. Some of her artwork is also included. Cat is an autoflower girl.

I walk over to Kelly and Cat, now I wouldn't make something up unless it was true but sometimes you just can't make it up even if it is true. Figuring I need a cute and clever line to join in the conversation with Kelly and Cat I say, "Kelly, do you have a fish in your pocket?". Kelly raises her right arm towards her heart and says, "No, Longball, I have the fish here in my armpit!" She raises her left arm and takes a fish fillet from her armpit! It is frozen in a vacuum sealed bag. It was from a salmon that she caught recently and had smoked it and it was a gift for me. She takes the fish, still in package of course, and rubs it all over her womanly parts both above and below the belt!!! Cat is like "OMG! I can't believe you just did that!!!".
She hands me the package and the irony of her rubbing fish on that certain G spot below the belt was not lost on me. I love eating fish as much as the next guy and the best way to see if the fish is fresh is to smell it. So, I put the package to my nose and start sniffing the hell out it. Yeah, that was fresh fish, good enough to eat! Cat is like, "OMG! You are worse than she is!" I said, "Yeah, I reckon that's true, Cat, but I'm sure living the fine life, baby!
Chanda Dewey. Chanda is the drummer for the band 'Glass Pony'. I love working with that band and tonight will mark the 40th show I've worked with them. If a band would like me to work with them the rider in my contract states that someone from the band must pick me up and drive me to the venue(unless it's my house), I will need food, and plenty of craft IPA beer. And driven back home(Maybe that's why bands would rather play at my house?). For that you will get the services of one of the finest "roadies" east of the Mississippi and north of the Carolina's. Chanda lives very close to me so when I work Glass Pony shows she picks me up and drives me home. I like my job! The blonde in the right background used to work for the Grateful Dead in San Francisco. She never went on tour so no tour stories but she has plenty of great stories of parties at Jerry Garcia's and other band members houses. Bands, parties, girls, sounds like something I should look into!
Chanda Dewey hard at work. Putnam Place, Saratoga Springs, NY!

NSFW!!! Thought I'd show a pic of me working the Putnam Place show with Chanda and Glass Pony. With this haircut all my male friends are like, "Dude, WTF?, you will be 67 in a few weeks, start acting your age!". All my female friends are like, "You'll never get old, Longball. Come give me a hug and you will feel better!" What's a man to do?

LadyT, Jill, Christine from Caribbean Sun Band. They play reggae music and when the girls harmonize it sounds like angels singing. I worked this show also, very easy to set up as they have very little equipment. Christine, on the right, lives 2 houses from me so I ride with her to CSB shows. While the work is hard and the hours brutal, I still enjoy my job! 12-hour days are the norm and I've done my share of 24-hour days. The show must go on!
