Headed down to the Island last week, for the Third Coast Music Festival.    I believe it was the first time they've held it; 40 bands, 8 + venues, 50 performances.   The weather was perfect the entire time, gulf was calm and spectacular and ..... had a damned good time!  Temps were in the 70s during the day, 60s at night.  What more can one ask for? Icing on the cake was we got to spend some time with family that has moved down here from MN recently.   They are in the process of buying a house and sealing the deal. Two days of playing with these guys on the beach and in the water, had the body aching and moaning reminding me ...  well...   I ain't getting younger! Road Trip!

But I was looking at a 'local' number,  Read it over a few times..  and....  thought  "Hmmmm....  something ain't right"   But messaged it back none the less..  It wasn't until I  saw the messages on my cell phone, the gig was up... I'd rx'd messages from it before.  What you see below is a one sided conversation.  The app I used to export his 125 (!!!!) messages to me simplified the process.  My side of the conversation: I was simply going along with his shenanigans to see where this was all going. He would never meet up with me in person.  Always had an excuse.  Even said we'd meet up at Strokers.  I was wondering how that was going to play out, since I ...
