For the first time ever in close to six years, I screwed up announcing the winners. Everyone's favorite Deadheads, the Foreplayers, are still the first place team, but I failed to notice that Nix and Lix and Nat tied for second with the Good, the Bad and the Crazy. I have a feeling that Nick will make me pay for this for a looong time.
The cheesecake cookie eating Mixed Company was in third, followed by D&M and the Addisonless Grateful Robert. We're Here for the Beer tied with Vern and Company for sixth, so we had a spinoff for the right to choose a theme. Don was the winner, so he chose Covered Wagon Theater. That was a little too obscure, so we agreed on the more wide-ranging "Old TV westerns," which should thrill Kirk's son.
The big news for the night was the return of the Chicks and Dicks team. Just like the swallows returning to Capistrano, Irma and crew flew back to the nest after their annual summer hiatus. The other big story was the Foreplayers' victory, since they never expected to do well with the theme. They were so excited by the win that I think they are going to rent a bus and follow the Dead on tour.
