The Wicked Tinkers
Watching (and dancing with) The Wicked Tinkers is a favorite activity of ours-we've been know to avoid games just because they won't be playing.
On Saturday we only caught part of the show. Here, on stage:

And here, doing the usual walk about (yes, he's heading for the beer tent-too bad it's Budweiser, but he must have been VERY thirsty)

Little Xena loves the Pleasanton Games, because the Tinkers are always on the stage next to this little gazebo, where she can dance. They call it their "disco cage" and she's the disco/highland dancer:

We like to hang out there too-it's shady and cool:

At some point during each performance, they begin to sing (to the tune of "I Want Candy"), "I Want Whiskey". Everyone is happy to oblige-look how delighted Panache is to give away his whiskey!

Imagine-three performances a day, and at least 6 or 7 people offer flasks (and pretty much every band member drinks from each flask). No wonder they don't mind playing over and over again! 
Sunday Tinkers to come...
Be well,
