It's not everyday you see bikers hanging out with knights

Through a friend of a friend, we all attended a benefit BBQ (Barbeque) for a woman in need of an organ transplant. It was a rather odd gathering, being a mixture of bikers and knights held at a local Moose Lodge [1].

Several bands showed up during the BBQ but the first one was memorable if only because he was so white, trying to sing funky 70s tunes like “Play that funky music white boy” (and while he could play it, singing it was another matter entirely). The other bands weren't bad, but not nearly as memorable as Funky White Boy.

The food itself was your standard BBQ fare, chicken, pork, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad and pasta salad, all quite good, but way too much.

Spring's [8] friends (who invited us) belong to SCA (Society of Creative Anachronism) [9] (the `knights” part of the mixture) and the three knights who did show up donned their armor and fought amongst themselves—I suspect the bikers in the crowd knew better than to tangle with these guys.

I actually didn't see many bikers, but they were in attendance.

I suspect all the bikers were inside the main pavillion where the beer and bands were located.
