Easter Monday has always proven to be one of the best days for the Circle.

No matter what is going on in various worlds, catharsis, nay: triumph prevails.

Visitor Blim, in spite of being in the midst of a very trying time, made the journey in.

At the dice roll the Host got a 9.

Blim got the 0 (zero).  About the only time “free will” can be utilized with the draw.  He chose the second position (the closer in a two person game).

We elected to try a turn at the newly innovated “Deluxe” 2 person Olympic Standard.

The First 16 songs reflect the one “Deluxe 2 Person Olympic Standard” Circle we spun. Post 16 we ran as “on call mingling”:

Pretty nice, right?

For those sensitive to the issues at hand, you will perceive a particular excellence in todays list.

The Good Times:

It’s been a while, but the occasion demanded it.  Sushi catering via OLG:

May All Attain.

What a day.

After nearly 3o years of talk, former fellow Wear Guard co-worker and OFFICIAL MC of The Groove Factor, John Loring finally made it to The Circle Game.

A fellow Son of the Commonwealth and child of the South Shore.  This was his first mind blowing trip to not only TNGHbtS but to Winthrop itself. Not only does he rock, he rides a bike and boats and believes he’ll be making use of his boat for future summer time visits.

Captain Cat, as usual, got involved:

Here was the set list:

It must be noted, the 14th song was “How Many Times” by local act Spunk, and the actual 16th track was “New Face” by the Nervous Eaters.  John was playing via iPod so I had to “borrow” his tracks from the Wonders of the Internet.  These two were not able to be found.  The last song listed was actually the 17th song played and “off -circle” as it were.  John had one more song to play in homage to Captain Cat.  Perfect.  Or should I say, purrfect.

A powerful, cathartic, and transformative Holy Thursday.

So, as some of you know,  a few weeks ago I returned to NY3 to see Black Sabbath on the first leg of their Final Tour: The End.  There is talk of seeing the second leg at Great Woods in the Summer, but let’s take everyday as a gift.  For those interested here is the OFFICIAL Now Today Documentary of the event.  We get to see the Host travel via Amtrak to NYC, meet Tech Support, have GTs, visit the notorious “Trump Tower”, and then see Black Sabbath at Madison Square Garden.

Just under an hour, enjoy the journey:

There have been a few good Circles of late. Let’s hope we have one on Easter Monday, always a good time for the Good Times.

Speaking of Circles, at the last one, attending by BMF and I, we found yet another “New Revelation” of possibility.  The two of us followed the aspects of the four person game.  It was astonishing.  So, instead of

seated/seated

mingle/danse

seated/seated

danse/mingle

we did:

seated/seated/seated/seated

mingle/danse/mingle/danse

seated/seated/seated/seated

danse/mingle/danse/mingle

Very advanced playing.

The first 16 tracks represent the advanced play 2 person as described above.  The second 16 were “a la carte”

Pretty nice, right?

There was one “Circle Candle”, can anyone guess which track?  The winner receives “high esteem”.

See you on Easter Monday!
