Minneapolis RustFest (September 7, 1996)
Your Host - Chuck Moe The Sleaze King
Pre-Fest Notice
The Fest Call was put out by Chuck Moe The Sleaze King....
Now, for the Rust Fest!...
I would like to host a RustFest cookout at my place the afternoon of the
Target Center concert (9/7) starting about 2:00. Here's what I have to offer:
- I live approximately 20 minutes from the Target Center. I'll post a map on
the web in the next couple of days or so.
- I have a stereo and a large selection of tapes.
- I will supply hamburgers, bratwurst, beer, and soda.
- Wanda has offered to bring vegetarian fare for the less
carnivorous of you (not to mention her chocolate cake!).
- I'm ready, willing, and able!
Please let me know if you plan to attend by Wednesday 9/4. Feel free to bring
something (food or drink) to share but it isn't required. (Please keep it
legal, my next door neighbor is the Chief of Police!)
Keep on Rustin'

Fest Report
(Also see the Show Reviews)
I think by all accounts the Minnesota RustFest was a great success! Apparently
Neil couldn't find the time to attend, but that didn't stop the rest of us from
having a great time.
The fest took place at my house in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis. The
guest list included a total of 31 rusties, friends and relatives representing
five states and two Canadian provinces. That doesn't even count two recent
transplants to Minnesota from Arizona and South Africa! The attendies
were (Rusties marked with "*"):

I may have even missed some people due to a somewhat foggy memory of it all.
Thank goodness we had a guest book for people to sign in! My one regret was
there was not enough time for me to get a chance to really talk with all of you.
Here are a few
pictures from the RustFest, over on my own web pages.
The time was spent eating, drinking, watching videos, listening to tapes, and
looking over some wonderful photos of CSNY taken by Jay Ulku at the Met Center
in Bloomington in 1974. Derek brought several Live Music is Better bumper
stickers, a Broken Arrow poster, and a set of Duren tapes which were given
away as door prizes.
Special thanks go out to Nancy Jo (Wanda) for bringing some delicious
Vietnamese "Mock Duck" and other veggies for the non-meat eaters and to everyone
else who brought something to share.
And very special thanks go to my wife, Lori, who not only let me throw this
shindig, but spent a lot of time helping me organize it, and most of all had a
great time meeting everybody.
Let's hope Neil gives us many more opportunities to do it again!

Still on a High... Nancy Jo Wanda Leachman's Fest Report
I am still on a high, both from the concert and from the RustFest.
First of all, a giant thank you to Chuck and his family for hosting the
RustFest. It was really great--laid back, and a nice connected-ness
in the air. Chuck and Lori have a nine year old daughter Lisa. As is
my wont, I asked her about what she liked to read. I also asked her
who her favorite author is (remember, folks, I'm a librarian). To the
latter question, she answered (after a pause), "I guess it's Robert
Louis Stevenson." Music to the ears of a librarian. What a kid you
& Lori have there, Chuck!
A great time was had by all. There were 5 MORE BARN! shirts, two
original rust@death shirts, and one OPL Echoes shirt (worn by Derek,
and also worn that night by Neil on-stage). I have some great pictures
that I hope will find their way to HyperRust. The best one is of our
host--Disco Chuck--looking like John Travolta in a MORE BARN! shirt.
Actually, he was pointing the way to the highway to get to the Target
Center. But his other hand is on his hip, giving him the Travolta look.
In response to the inquiries I've gotten, the Vietnamese Mock-Duck was
from a St. Paul restaurant--Rose's. So I did not make it myself; wish
I did have the recipe. C'mon guys, you were SUPPOSED to comment on my
made-from-scratch, semi-famous chocolate cake, not the stuff a commercial
business made!! Oh well, the ego takes another hit.
<:=) (Don't try to make up for it with belated
comments--it's too late!).
I'll say again it was a fantastic
concert. And rust-fest. Wish I were repeating it all several times---
once a week for the next year would be fine.
