Absentee Q? Extra Merkins
Date: 2025-05-05 AO: swole Q: flipper PAX: Emoji, Unplugged, high_tide, ickey_shuffle, Uncle Leo, flipper, wildturkey FNGs: None COUNT: 7 The PAX rolled in expecting Voodoo’s brand of gentle goading and quality of music. It was a rude awakening for them to find out our favorite Cajun bailed due to having too much Dave Matthews in his Sunday evening, so YHC was pinch hitting. Life is quite the fickle mistress, no? PAX were even more frustrated when YHC played modern Rock/Punk music on Pandora, then doubled our merkin count on the second set… but I digress.
