AUSTIN!
Sun, 10/18/2009 - 9:46am — mbussmannWell the last show is in the books and it really was a doozy. Lots of people, lots of fun. We raised 13,500 dollars and carried over a 90% waste diversion rate, that is really good.
Well, the crew is heading home (its been a long time coming) so I better go pack up my stuff and start driving.Thank you Austin, we'll see you next year. And as for the rest of you stay tuned, the season re-cap is on its way.
Soon,

Tempe, I just woke up.
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 10:44am — mbussmannWell what can I say? I have been sleeping for days and I just woke up, and holy smokes, I still don't think I have recovered. That was (attendance-wise) the second largest show ever, and money-wise the biggest. We (together (and at first count)) raised 63,000 bucks. That there is a huge number. And the people of Tempe had a real fun time, and the TdF crew joined them in the fun having shenanigans. Thank you Tempe, that was a special day.Read more

Wed, 10/22/2008 - 7:23pm — mbussmanwell, I am back at the beer factory now and trying to scoop up what remains my mind being blown by your lovely town. What a week. There were good times had all over the place, but I would like to outline my Friday for you: woke up very early (6:30 in the am (until this summer I was unaware there was a 6:30 in the morning, I thought 6:30 just happened once, much later in a day)). Then went to Fiesta Gardens to set up the big show. That went very well, we had good help and and a great plan and things went smoothly, as if we were skating on a freshly Zambonied pond. Read more
