Smittypalooza III Is Underway

Posted on | April 14, 2010 | 34 Comments

by Smitty

We’re in the John Paul Jones Room at the Army and Navy Club. Stacy has been on a tear the last few weeks; he’s looking just a little bit stiff.

At any rate, it’s time to play host, and we’ll update this later.

Update: Let’s have everyone type in a quotation:
Barbara Espinosa: My 2nd Smittypalooza is a real doozy. Smitty knows how to throw a bash. This ex Texan is very impressed with this group of New Media We are about to get a preview of a new song sung by Chris Casson..

Paco Enterprises: An extraordinarily lively evening with an unexpected performance on the acoustic guitar by Stacy of what, I believe, was Cab Calloway’s “Jumpin’ Jive.” Or perhaps not. Anyway, it was very impressive.

Chris Cassone Hey, all. Just played for the papparazzi here and will perform again on the Big stage between the monument and the White House at 7:37. Hoping to get Victoria Jackson (SNL) and the Rivoli’s to sing with me (all three, coming in on the Tea Party Express.) CSPAN should have it if Fox doesn’t.

Kevin Trainor: Mmmm, cheese. Thanks to Stacy for trusting me with the famous BarbieCam and Smitty for the invite. Next year in Jerusalem!

Matthew Vadum: You know when Stacy sings the blues, the end is near.

Brian Garst: Against my better judgment, I’ve been convinced to blame Erik Telford.

    The bus is still in conn so I don’t think I will get there in time for me to indulge, but if the reaction of the wife to me being on this bus is any indication I might need a place to stay beyond the tea party event tomorrow.

    I heard Woodrow Wilson’s guns
    I heard Glenn Beck crying
    Late last night I heard the news
    That America was dying
    America was dying

    Someone called Palin’s name
    I swear it was Mark Levin
    Saying, “If you stay you’ll all be slain
    You must leave now – you have no choice
    Take the servants and ride east
    Keep your gold close to your chest
    When the illegal aliens withdraw
    Let Obama take the rest”

    I heard Woodrow Wilson’s guns
    I heard Glen Beck calling
    Saying, “America is dying
    And California’s falling”

    Aquel dia yo jure (On that day I swore
    Hacia el puerto volvere To the port I will return
    Aunque el destino cambio mi vida Even though destiny changed my life
    En Veracruz morire In America I shall die
    Aquel dia yo jure On that day I swore)

    I heard Woodrow Wilson’s guns
    I heard them in the harbor
    Saying, “America is dying”

    There are indications that the next Smittypalooza may be held in the great outdoors where we can burn meat as God intended. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Army-Navy Club, but it’s hard to beat grillin’ and chillin’.
