The show was more of a gathering of friends than anything else, the atmosphere was laid back, the food was good, the weather a bit cool and windy, but it was a pleasant day all around. We would like to thank everyone at Baja's for inviting us out and for the event. They really know how to make you feel welcome. When you are traveling through Newnan, be sure to stop in and check them out, the crab legs are great and the people friendly... For a relaxing night out you just can't beat this place.

The second of anything always seems to go smoother. You're more prepared for everything.

Next time I venture through there on my way to Dothan, I think I'll forego my normal rendesvous at Sprayberry's and stop in at Baja's.

That was my favorite part to Big Daddy....getting to be with friends and people that we love. A good time seemed to be had by all. Seemed less like work and more one of David's cook offs. Now if we could just get some of my family here it would be perfect!

Aww! The merchandise looks great. Bajas Is great. I'm going to have to commission you to make me a big, Big walking stick that I could take with me for stilt gigs. That'd be awesome. It'd have to be able to break down and fit in my car though... well, maybe not. I could strap it to the top.
It looked like the show was a good time. I'm sorry I missed it.
