The speaker looks on at the last Clarkston Relay for Life that we
appeared at. |

Many people showed up to hear the announcement about the DJs. But there
was none. |

None of these people even knew that we were leaving after this year. |

All these balloons contributing to global warming CO2 output. |

Balloons all ready for release. |

Balloon launch committee, waiting for the signal to coordinate groups of
launching balloons. |

"Anyone have a lighter for this thing?" |

Balloons ready to launch. The signal to be given any minute. |

Last minute trajectory planning and careful measurements are bellowed at
waiting masses. |

Up, up and away ! |

The balloons begin their historic flight to some remote swamp or field.. |

With the excitement of the balloons ended, the stage sees no action.
Casual passersby notice the stage too close to the service building. |

Two happy participants. |

"Very, very cute" |

"This thing really needs a good lighter" |

A strangely small version of a rock wall. |

"Way over there", Lance exclaimed when asked where the bathroom was. |

"Hey, look at my headlights .. will ya!" |

"I didn't mean THOSE headlights ,,, silly!" |

Several of the "Box People" a nearby tribe of the region, showed up to
provide information about their culture. |

These people insisted on dancing on the stage which caused a massive
dislocation of the equipment and subsequent failure of the stage
stability system. |

Which resulted in everyone having a great time? |

Yeah, everyone had a great time. |

A squirt gun warrior loads her weapon. |

The track .. that's it .. it is black and white. |

People gather at the stage to hear yet another great act. |

"Thank you .. Thank you very much" |

"I can't see the stage, what are they doing?" |

Why, group dancing of course .. |

.. at the last group dance from The Jim and Lance Show. |

No more of this .. |

.. and no more of that. |

We will miss you Clarkston. This was not the best year there for us.
Rude performers and no recognition. We will remember this event for
better years. |
