Luko heads over to where the band is to be staged. It's to be a
clear night with no rain so they have turned the open air part into
a sort of ballroom. Solar lights fully charged to last until
morning, have been covered in bright colored tissue paper line all
but the last roof beem away from the kitchen and covered eating
area. All the other beams are festuned with lights.

Luko looks and hopes with all his heart, that Bast will appear and
she will find the end beam a suitable place, cleared just for her.
He wants so much to see his sisfer Mona.

Meantime, the music area warms up a bit as chairs are placed. A piano
sits to the edges as does a drum set. At the center are 4 microphones
of various heights, all adjustable, as they tend to sing in quartets.

To the center beam of the open area, with ceremony, they place a
favored item they have had for 40 years. It speaks well to cats,
casting it's own 'red dots' and other colored dots everywhere! It is
a 1980's disco ball. It's been adapted though to have the metal frame
between the silvery bits extended with little fans that catch the wind
and make it twirl. The Master Cook grabs the Master Rope makers paw
and they run out to chase the colors. Thanh who had been helping
setup, puts her pipe down and jumps into the melee joined by Luko,
Sammie, Milo, and Pit2nya and many others.

As the kitties have fun jumping about, a local quartet starts singing
'a-capella', a happy sounding song.

To the side of the sign in podium, is a temporary tent there to store
any instruments. They were told a Master Band Leader Cat may arrive
as one of the guests and are excited to hear such!

As the kitties get exausted after having fun, they listen to the
singers. In a slight pause, they start humming a familiar song to
them. It is very like Angie's song but in Vietnamese. Pouncing to the
stage, ThanH adds the final coda of a soft seeking pipe sound.

In the silence, a cart rolls out. The Master Cook brings the center
piece, a whole carp steamed in bamboo leaves with limes and other
seasonings. 2foot apprentices of her's lift it to the table while other
4foots set the rest of the main meal out.

Nip and wine begin to flow as well as a local beer they make in the
back of the Bamboo wharehouse.
