The Daily Poop - Fri, 13JUN08

Two weeks from today, the Navy Musicians Association reunion will be in full swing.

Though our reunions always begin officially on Wednesday, a handful, like me, come early. I'll arrive in Memphis sometime on Monday, June 23, to schmooze, strut and begin blogging the reunion.

Each year, increasingly more members show up on Tuesday. This means that the night before the reunion has even started, the lounge is jumping with MUs, jamming and jiving.

Wednesday, registration day, is naturally the day that former MUs pour in. But attendees continue to arrive through the week.

At the Friday night bash in the ballroom, we're all together for the first time. The evening's highlight is a performance by the reunion bands for the most appreciative of all audiences: peers, shipmates, brothers and sisters.

And when it's over, many adjourn to the lounge for the jamming and jiving that began the week.
