Warren Peace

This weekend three of my friends and I performed in the Warren Fair's annual talent show. We were there to expose the good people of Warren with the joy of Barbershop. Our group (Jim Sele, Elliott Schwab, Evan Montgomery and me) is tentatively named the Lone Rangers but I am thinking that that name might be changing.

After eating way too much fair food (deep fried jalapeno cheese curds, fried walleye and a hot dog) it was our turn to compete. We mounted the stage and laid down some the beats with Sweet Adeline and Coney Island Baby. I like to believe that we really got the crowd going. It's hard not to when we have a bass as powerful as Mr. Jim Sele.

In the end we took second place at the show. But really, I think we won the day in that the president of the fair committee heard us and wants us to sing an hour set at the fair next year. That was a neat experience. Who knows, maybe we will bring back Barbershop.

After the fair we made the trek back to Fargo and after moving some furniture for a friend enjoyed a peaceful evening with friends... and beer.


That is all I have for now.
