Yet Another Weekend in Review

In which this is a very special OMG SO MUCH FAMILY edition.

Friday after work I jogged home and took a 3-minute shower. The boys picked me up in the band van at 6:30 and we drove to an RV park in Wallula to play the opening night of a biker rally.

When we arrived, there was no one there but the band, the sound guy, and the dozen employees of the rally.

Rally in the Valley setup

We set up. Darkness fell. The only lights on the whole property were the two on the bandstand. A biker chick took her top off on stage, and a biker dude ran around with a giant latex cock hanging out of his fly. By the end of our last set, there were probably 80 people there.

I heard there were about 800 people the next night. Sigh.

Saturday, MY WHOLE ENTIRE FREAKING FAMILY SHOWED UP IN TOWN OMGWTFBBQ. Moms, dads, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, oh my! After dinner with the maternal side, my brother and I went out with our uncle Dangerous Dan (our dad’s brother) and painted the town about fifty shades of red. There are no pictures yet because my cell phone was dead and the other pictures are on digital cameras at home.

Sunday I was pretty useless and laid around nursing a hangover when I wasn’t chatting with my mom or my aunt at the house.

Today I’m sitting at work talking on the phone and doing my job, but am mostly waiting for PAY DAY. Gonna buy a plane ticket to NEW YORK CITY tomorrow, oh yes I am.

New York! I’m comin’ to visit you!

    Dan and I drove by this venue while you were setting up. I noticed a biker wearing pants with his butt cheeks poking out, and the stage being set up so you were probably there. Wish I’d known cause we probably would have spent the night there after the concert…damn luck.
