As I mentioned in the last post, the fair was not the greatest show on earth but it did have its moments. One of these moments began as a small disappointment. Monsters from Mars was scheduled to play at 6:30 but when we shuffled over to their stage, they were loading up their equipment. One source told me that the power had gone out and they were only going to be allowed to play two songs by the time the power would be back on. Curiosity got the best of me and I went up to the stage area and asked one of the band members what was going on. It turns out that this particular stage area did not have enough juice to power all their equipment. This turn of events saddened me since the number one reason for going to this fair, apart from the art, was this band. Fortunately, as the band was leaving, they announced to everyone that they would be playing an impromptu performance at a house nearby in half an hour and we were all invited. Everyone cheered and headed down the street. Once we got there we waited outside for a few minutes while the band set up their gear. The house was cozy and had a cool tiki theme. As the band started up, people stuffed the house. Monsters from Mars rocked! Everyone was dancing and having a good time. This was an amazing ending that I could not have predicted.
