The last big event of High Summer was the historic walk Brother Jerome and I did from the Braintree T to Warrens in Columbian Square.  Part of a “Friends of Eddie Coyle” pilgrimage.  The kick off party the night before looked like this:

“All in Service”.

Earlier this week we had the OFFICIAL Late Summer Kick off Event.  It began with a Circle Game with Beachmont Frank. 2 Circles:

Pretty nice, right?

Then we made our way to Little Asia for wings and Chinese nachos.  Surprise guest “Brett” joined us.  We then went back to Franks for good times in the pool:

6 hours later we went to the roast beef place around the corner:

Then Brett and I had an evening Ablution by the Sea

Extreme Good Times, the Now Today Way.

So, the High Summer Nightmare Ensemble assembled in Central Park again this summer for a programme of Nightmare Rock.

The Ensemble:

Tech Support ~ Tech Support

Vlindinhauer Haverhast ~ bass, vocals

We met at a nice little spot east of the mall near a tunnel called The Willowdell Arch.

Much like last years concert, a perfect, bright, hot, bustling summer afternoon in the park.   However, noise was a slight factor at the onset.  At first some sort of rap act was doing soundcheck, then the French horn player … all quite exciting.

But, as ever, the show must go on.  We did the two set programme with encore twice.

The Set List:

I.

The Call

Nightmare I

Nightmare II

Today’s Nightmare

II.

Y-Myrelysis (part 1)

Encore

The Magician’s Prayer

Finale to “Lady Terror”

pretty nice, right?

Here are some snaps of the pre, during, and post:

Tech Support is working on the official film, if curious I’ll send you a link to a rough cut of the concert

It had been 2 years since last we met, and although it was the smallest turnout, it may have been the best session to date. Here is the photographic evidence:
