O.D.'s St. Patty's Day Weekend by Tinkle McIvory
While alas, there was no pot o' gold at the end of the the two-day party, but the boys slid down the rainbow of rock with Celtic abandon, as if there were Leprechauns wrestling in green Jello on the other side.
According to Heddy McJams, who attended both shows, "Ole Fook he ain't Irish, but after a pint of green bud light or three - he might just brandish his Shelayee and show you the cut of his jib! Obsidian's Dream rocks me face off!"

People's - Ames, IA
Many Irish eyes were a smilin' when People's intrepid soundman when drove the snakes out of his awesome system and things got underway with a groovin' set from Dr. Gonzo. Check them out, a great funky/jazzy jam outfit from D.M. They played one of my favorite songs - Spirits in the Material World by the Police. Thanks Doc!
In the spirit of the Holiday - Shag tore into Booze Me Up and Get Me High by Ween to start the OD set. From there on out it was just fantastic fun, there's not much more to say than that!
Big thanks to bandmates, Peeps crew and attendees alike, it was better than a bathtub full of Lucky Charms! One of my personal all-time favorite shows.

Water Street Bar and Grill - Cambridge, IA
Now here's where the tale takes a weeee strange turn as our bus broke down and non-heady vibes seemed about to prevail.
Shaggy McPeepants dances a jig in the Cambridge mud.
But fter a wobbly first set at Water Street (a friendly smalltown establishment in Cambridge), suddenly ole St. Pat himself looked down upon the assembled faithful...and smiled.
Obsidian's McDream was then born in a torrent of green ale, and thusly the roadweary crew joyfully spewed forth their frothy jams upon their assembled friends - fresh and clean as a whistle!
Highlights:
Lots of covers tonight
Impromtu "Friend of the Devil" by request. Make that by demand. Whoever you are, Mr. Shouting Deadhead Guy, thanks for adding a great song to the repetoire.
"Rider" with Shaggy's Irish McVocals, Celtic accordian and a reggae jam. Wow that green beer really works.
"Hey Joe" went completly otherworldly.
The return of "Empty".
An Obsidian's Dream first: One female patron threw a bra at Shaggy onstage as predicted in the lyrics of the extended version of Family Vacation.
Apparently the drummer was re-inacting a scene from "Weird Science" later in the evening because I'm pretty sure he was wearing it for a hat at about 1:45.
Thanks to all you new faces and old friends, we hope you had as good of time as we did, and we'll see you down the Ole Plank Road!
