Waste Barn Acoustic Show

Every year, the waste crew clean out our nasty old waste barn and put on an acoustic Christmas show for our friends in town.  This year's was a serious labor of love.  We decided on a nutcracker theme.  So, the barn was to be decorated like the set of the nutcracker and we would do our own ridiculous take on scenes from the ballet between each acoustic act.  There were 10 acts I think and lots of tutus.  So, we went into sweat shop mode at the barn and made all props and tutus made entirely out of garbage.  Quinn and I did the sugarplum fairy dance, complete with Travis throwing paper roses at us on stage.  Other highlights included the Russian dance, snowflake dance, and attack of the mice and rat king.  I am not doing it justice but man, was it fun.  The barn actually cleans up and didn't smell like trash. Maybe all the free drinks we gave out helped mask that too!
