          It's not everyday you see bikers hanging out with knights

Through a friend of a friend, we all attended a benefit BBQ (Barbeque) for a
woman in need of an organ transplant. It was a rather odd gathering, being a
mixture of bikers and knights held at a local Moose Lodge [1].

Several bands showed up during the BBQ but the first one was memorable if
only because he was so white, trying to sing funky 70s tunes like “Play that
funky music white boy” (and while he could play it, singing it was another
matter entirely). The other bands weren't bad, but not nearly as memorable as
Funky White Boy.

The food itself was your standard BBQ fare, chicken, pork, baked beans, cole
slaw, potato salad and pasta salad, all quite good, but way too much.

Spring's [8] friends (who invited us) belong to SCA (Society of Creative
Anachronism) [9] (the `knights” part of the mixture) and the three knights
who did show up donned their armor and fought amongst themselves—I suspect
the bikers in the crowd knew better than to tangle with these guys.

I actually didn't see many bikers, but they were in attendance.

I suspect all the bikers were inside the main pavillion where the beer and
bands were located.
