A GIGANTIC Crypto thanks to Misha Mengelberg, Han Bennink and all of ICP(Ab, Michael, Thomas, Ernst, Wolter, Tristan, and Mary!) for packing Club Tropical Friday night(3/24/06) and gracing Los Angeles with 2 stunning sets of genius ensemble playing! Mary Oliver's lovely parents made the trek up from San Diego and it was NICE to meet you both! Culver City is HOPPING on Friday night with theater-goers, partiers, movie fans, scenesters, diners and the like AND Club Tropical was the MOST hopping and SO packed that there were 75 food orders already into the kitchen when Misha decided "I want some sausages" 10 minutes before he was to go on stage. CryptoSausage-Boy donned his SB cape and mask and flew down to the French joint and yelled "A GIANT of European Jazz needs sausages NOW!". Thank goodness CSB scared them! They listened and had some lamb merguezes ready in 4 minutes! Then the mighty Crypto Sausage-Boy dashed back 5 blocks toting a bag o' meat sticks and dumped them right on MM's plate! "The sausages have saved the concert!" MM told his manager, the extremely happening Susannah! Stay tuned for more exploits of Crypto Sausage Boy! Whew! THANK YOU ICP!!!
