Bright Lights, Small City


Whikey Jacks at Alice's Champagne Palace in Homer. The crowd was lively. We had dancers that lasted until midnight!

The Champagne Palace, in quieter times, awaits the return of the birds.


Mary "Hail Mary" Batten battles with the lyrics display so the crowd can sing along. With dogged pluck and skill, she pulled out a victory right before sudden death overtime started!

Looking forward to being back to Homer in May!

Our Name up in Lights



Homertrek 2009 went like gangbusters, whatever those are. The crowd danced and sang, clapped and carried on, and we were even able to hear one another. Another highlight: Seeing Homer friends. In the words of Paddy Schwarzenegger, "We'll be back". And next time Roy'll have that banjo in a more cooperative mood. See you again, Homer!
